Just going by the letter of the law if it's an Xbox 360 or Wii exclusive, it would have been nice for it to have been read as, "it's still worth watching for Xbox 360/Wii owners."  Eh, you never know.

Well, it says "bigger than Uncharted 3", so the only thing I could imagine MS to announce that would be bigger (considering hype) is either Gears 3 (which won't be shown and is already announced anyway) or a new Halo. And Nintendo normally doesn't show anything at VGAs as far as I know. A multiplatfrom game seems most likely to me.


Half-Life 2 Episode 3.

Or this.

We'll see in a few hours anyway.

I'm sorry if I offended people with my original post.  I just stated my opinion on the situation and I probably should have made that clear.

I can tell you're a gamer.  You're fapping at a game instead of your sig.  ;)

Gears is bigger than uncharted and ME, so no it won't be overshadowed LOL. and .. I'm willing to bet it goes in Gears favour even more in terms of who is watching the VGA's.

Could be about content. If they are releasing a lot of information about Uncharted 3, it'll overshadow a teaser trailer for Gears of War 3.

ME2 and U2 were more highly regarded critically than Gears of War 2. But then again, the original Gears was the highest scored out of the 3 original games.

It's also possible that Microsoft and Epic wanted Gears of War 3 to stand out more. You have to think, if they do an event for Gears of War 3 to show off whats new, it gets all the attention. Anything tonight will be shared with Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Portal 2, Batman: Arkham City, and whatever else is shown tonight.

By what? A whopping three points on Metacritic? That kind of a statement is a stretch to say the least.

Yeah. the 100 Game of the Year awards for Uncharted 2 should be completely thrown out for last year. e.e

I can't say anything about Mass Effect 2 because most places GOTY awards haven't happened yet, but I'm sure it will rack up more than Gears of War 2.


Yeah, they should. Or maybe I missed when it beat out Gears of War 2 to win those awards.

Hopefully MS still held the timeslot to unveil something we didnt know about.  As much as I love Gears it is un-announced titles I am more interested in hearing about.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

How many overall GotY did Gears 2 actually get?

I seem to remember 2008's lists dominated by Fallout 3 and LittleBigPlanet... With a small mix of MGS4 and GTA4 inbetween. Not sure.
