Well your wrong. Before you stated that Gears was of lower quality then the other nominee's, and that's just not true, and now your commenting on Gears of War 3's story being laughable. I liked it, for a shooter, it's pretty damn good. Compare Gears 3's story to Modern Warfare, Halo, or Killzone. It's the best story we have seen in a pure shooter in a long while (Uncharted is a hybrid, and I wouldn't even classify Batman or Portal as shooters).

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but having a good story relative to other story in the genre doesn't mean it's story is praiseworthy.

That is true, but even for a shooter it's still good. Not fantastic like Uncharted, but better then most games this year, even outside it's genre. I mean Zelda is the same plot regurgitated, Batamn is no different from the comics, movies and shows of the last 40 years, and although Portal is hilarious, I wouldn't say it's story heavy.

Are you going to argue that Gears of war 3's plot was poorer then the other nominee's thus it shouldn't be a nominee?
