...are already entirely irrelevant.

Gears of War 2 isn't there.

Whether you like it or not, you have to admit it deserves consideration as one of the top games of the year. I prefer SSB:B, Fallout 3, and Dead Space AT LEAST over it, maybe others, but even I can see that it needs to be on the list. It excels both in ratings and sales. In fact, on gamerankings it beats out every game on that list except LBP, Bioshock, and GTAIV. Yes, it beats out MGS4, Fallout 3, and SSB:B, and therefore ESPECIALLY beats Dead Space, Resistance 2, and other random games (seriously? Braid was interesting but not GOTY, and NHL 09?!?!).

Sorry, but I don't buy it. GOW2's absence from this list is frankly a travesty and makes my opinion of GS go down just a little bit more.

Does it deserve to be in the list? Sure, of course it does. But does that make the rest of the list irrelevant? Hell no.

Im not into sports games at all, but most people I know who are just wont shut up about how amazing it is. Apparently one of the best sports games ever made. Again, Im not into sports games, but that doesnt mean that it cant be a great game that appeals to many others. About GeoW2? Maybe they just didnt find it a big enough improvement over the first as even many Gears fans call it GeoW1.5. Im sure it will still be in the running for best 360 game though.

Yes if I were a 360 fanboy I would see like an insult that the best game ever for my console isn't game of the year nominee.

but it wasn't very innovative from the first. yes the story better (apparently from what i heard) but the ending was left too open. Epic is blatently showing that GeoW3 will be made. Also, improving from 4 on 4 online to 5 on 5 when R2 went from 16 on 16 to 30 on 30 and having people complain about lag will hurt their chances (fanboys decided that the Gears franchise will always be compared to the Resistance franchise, so we have to take that into consideration)
