From what I've seen of Gears 1, it looked better than Gears 2, plus I want to get to grips with the story and the characters because Gears 2 didn't have much of a story or any substance whatsoever. Gears 3 looks even better with more varied environments and a heavier focus on the story (from the trailers anyway).
As for Uncharted 3, the way I put it is that the game has its highs and its lows. The lows in Uncharted 3 are lower than Uncharted 2 but the highs in Uncharted 3 are higher than Uncharted 2, overall I think Uncharted 2 is just as good as Uncharted 3.

I played Gears 2 first, as it came out the same time I got an xbox 360, and the first time I played Gears 1 after playing 2 for a long time, I thought the same thing. But here's the difference for me: Gears 1 hurt my eyes after a while... maybe after 3 hours of play my eyes couldn't take looking at Gears 1 any more. I don't know why, but my friends felt the same way. Gears 2 looks a tiny bit better with the action visuals (chainsawing, explosions, and executions) but other than that it was also less colorful, I guess to represent how dead the world was. But it never hurt my eyes. I could play with my friends for an entire day and our eyes would be fine, so whatever they did to change 1 and 2, I'll take it. 3's graphics are far better though, and is easily noticable right away. Gears 3 has a better story, and the environments are amazing and more colorful and alive than the previous games by far.
I found Gears 1 story to be barely there, and 2 to be much better, but that's just me. 1 just threw you into something that you had no clue what was going on or anything. 2 was more of Dom's story, 3 is Marcus' story with a side of Cole, but 1 seemed like just .... bland. But that's just me.
Gears 3 is better in every way though... Horde in 2 got boring after the initial intro to it with the only thing changing being the maps. Gears 3 Horde is awesome, with the things you can build and set up, as well as the boss battles, and the mutators add in another fun aspect. I hope they add on to Beast mode a bit more, as it's not nearly as challenging as the rest of the game, but is super fun.
