I forgot about Mario!! That game looks great!
As for Egg_of_Doom's comment about Gears 3--it's a top notch game. It got a TON of perfect scores from several sites. There's not a lot that I see that Gears 3 does wrong. It keeps a great pace, has perfected its gameplay, hits a few emotional notes, and ties together the other games very well.
The sites that knocked Gears 3 basically complained that its more of the same and I don't see that at all. There's a ton of new things in Gears 3, a ton of old things that have been changed, a lot of old issues that have been fixed. I don't know what else they could have added, to be honest. And while the game looks a little dated at times, there are times when it looks better than anything I've ever seen.
If certain sites came down on Gears 3 despite all of it's changes and improvements (same as they did for Killzone 3, LBP 2, and others), I don't know if Uncharted 3 will be immune. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm sure U3 will have its share of GotY awards but I don't think it's going to be as unanimous as people think.
