Here's my two cents:
-I honestly believe that, if Gears 3 released now, it would actually score lower. The past few months have bombarded us with mindblowing games. It was a smart move for Epic to hit when they did.
-I think that Uncharted would have rated higher if it had released a little earlier. As it stands, incredible games like Gears and Batman raised expectations to crazy hights. Uncharted's impact was diminished because we were suddenly harder to "be blown away".
-I think people that play multiple consoles would agree with me.
-For Zelda to wait for pretty much EVERYTHING to release (Skyrim, Gears, Halo, Uncharted, Batman, etc.) and for it to STILL get the kinds of scores it's getting--It has to be fantastic. I haven't been to excited for this game (just like with Twilight Princess) but I know it will be all consuming when I play it.
I'm glad Zelda is releasing last because I have a feeling that, when I get it, none of the games that released before it are going to get much attention......
