Gears of War VS. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

GoW. Played both and just liked Gears better. Uncharted was kind of slow and I didnt like the shooting style.
I was not impressed at all by the Uncharted demo. And GOW was a repetitious bore which I could never finish.
One is a repetitive, cover-based action title that sees you fight waves and waves of enemies-
-and the other is Uncharted
GOW 2 vs. Uncharted 2 will be more interesting, as I feel Naughty Dog will have ironed out the creases in the new franchise by then. 'Uncharted' definately has bags of potential.

Well Uncharted looks, plays, and at least has a plot, so I'd have to go Uncharted.
I don't have a 360, but my friend brought his over for a night and I played Gears. Although I like the multiplayer options, other than co-op they all suck.
The graphics of Gears are so overrated. I remember reading game developers hyping it, and then I saw pictures.. and couldn't quite see what was amazing about it.. I figured I'd need to see it live, saw it and still.
The first time I had a couple of hours in I realized it just had no color, generic locations, story, characters, etc.
I hate how big the character models are in Gears of War and other Epic games, it's so god damn annoying and it makes moving so awkward and clumsy. It feels so awkward because you are moving through fairly tight areas with characters that are far bigger than they should be.
I nearly bought a 360 for Gears. I nearly bought into the hype, but I just held back, thank god.

Buying a 360 for Gears is stupid. But if you like online shooters and have a 360 it's a no brainer. Besides the hype train it's a solid game. Not the best ever, but at the time released it offered something slightly different and well presented. I would honestly say I enjoyed playing it through with a friend better than Halo 3. Heck, I enjoyed the "story" better than the craptastic dialogue of Eternal Sonata.

I'd have to say that I enjoyed Uncharted better than Gears. Gears has a lot of great things going for it in terms of shooting, which feels great, but that's about it.
And to tell you the truth, the new video footage of Gears 2 looks a little bit worse that Gears 1. Gears 1 was a dark atmosphere, which got along well enough in the game. Nowadays people are asking games "Where is the color?" and Epic listened, which is good, but not for Gears. It went from Dark to Drab.
Uncharted was like a beautifully made piece of art, just with some worn out brushes. Ultimately, it looks amazing, just a little ruff around the edges. I bet if Naughty Dog spent the next year just going through and tying up the loose ends, and maybe throw in a few other ideas(like multiplayer!), they would be sitting on top of a REALLY super game.
