Yep, the description fits for both. In God of War 3, the chance for a sequel is killed because all of the Major Gods are dead. In Gears of War 3, a chance for a sequel is killed because the Lambant, and the Locust, are killed off by a virus which breaks down the DNA structure in these species and very effectively and quickly killed off every single Locust/Lambent, including their Queen. So unless the COG go underground and try to kill off the pockets of Locust which weren't exposed to the atmosphere, there really isn't room for a sequel.

Anyway, I'm still behind

#45 - An underappreciated fighter published by Sony. This game is super fun because you can impale people with stuff you break.

#44 - One of the most expensive games on eBay, more expensive then Earthbound. It's similar to MegaMan

#40 - A spiritual successor to one of Squaresofts best games. The developer is not Square, and this franchise still see's a new entry every few years.

#39 - This game never localized, despite strong sales from this newly localized franchise. Because of this, the next game in the series is often given credit for introducing new features (like creating a character after yourself) despite this game being the one to do so.

#38 - One of the only games where they managed to make a proper 4th installment on a trilogy that ended very conclusively. I.i. it's the 4th game in a trilogy

#37 - This game received some praise for mocking other well established franchises but critisizm for a lack of originality. Had a very challenging post game challenge mode, which took me 2 days to finish, but it was damn satisfying. IMO this game defines fast paced action games.

#36 - One of the major characters in this game, was not seen in a sequel, but might be re-introduced in the next game in the series. This game is often considered the best in the franchise by most of the hardcore fans.

#35 Was an exclusive, then it was no longer exclusive, but then a special edition made this an exclusive again. A terrible design choice in the sequel killed all hype for this franchise.

A lot of hints, good luck!

 

45. Battle Arena Toshinden?

44. Super Mario Bros? (the original NES cart I'm guessing)

40. Xenoblade?

38. Escape from Monkey Island?
