If we were to spell games out to their entirety we'd avoid such confusion. I assume most of us are at a keyboard when we post. I know that some of you use this site from your phones so typing the whole word is difficult.

GoW=God of War
GoW=Gears of War

Seriously guys just call it Gears. We can't call GoW "God" so the only option left is to use the easy shortening for Gears and the acronym for GoW. Please

The rule of thumb for writing, which I almost always follow, is that the full name should be spelled out somewhere BEFORE using an abbreviation. For example:

"I think the best example of this is God of War. GoW really changed the landscape when it came to angry protagonists."

Establish clearly what you're talking about at the beginning and there will be less possibility for confusion.

hread Creation. Thread titles and content must be descriptive and on topic. Contentless threads and those who break the following rules can and will be locked.

• Thread Titles:
  • Should not use deceptive hooks to lure people in.
  • Should not be used to pose simple questions.
  • Should use full names rather than abbreviations (StarCraft instead of SC. Star Control 2 instead of SC2. Soul Calibur 3 instead of SC3. SimCity 4 instead of SC4).

I know that is just regarding thread titles and creation but tis a rule from that point of view at least so if it is a case of you are being lured into threads where someone has abbreviated the name to possibly get interest from other parties then just report the thread OP for it, Mods will put a stop to that shenanigans!

Someone should bring out a game just called Cod tho.... have it as a fish simulator, would at least get plenty of torrent downloads! A sequal called Cod:Ghosts ... if you let your Cod die :(

you lied to me!, the "lonely last option" wasnt lonely at all!.
