God of War, it's been using those initials for longer. Gears of War here is either GeoW or Gears.

Gears comes to mind, but then I read more and reply depending on what the poster has written. Though when people say GOW3 I think of God of War 3.

GoW stands for God of War, because God of War was first. Thats how the rule generally works

I don't think I ever referred to Gears of War other than gears, its always "hey _____ lets go play gears). S

This has been asked and debated on so many times! God of War, since it came first. GeoW is Gears of War. Or simply Gears.

I wouldn't use the word much more successful, they are both critically acclaimed franchises with millions shipped.

To call one great game franchise "way" better than another great franchise doesn't make much sense to me at all. What is your definition of successful if you are claiming that its"MUCH MORE" successful than another?

I'll be honest with You. I know it stands for God of War, but the first game popping up in my mind is Gears.
While i have no interest in Gears of War, slightly more interest in God of War.

Weird mind is weird.

With how often GeoW is used for Gears, GoW always stands out as God of War.

Its obvious that lemmings will say gears and cows will say god of war and multi-system owners will say god of war as its was the original game to use it..... And I'd say the poll matches my conclusions. But what was the point of this thread?

Gamespot seems to think that is Gears of War,since when you type GoW on the search bar what you get is all Gears games.

God of War. It came before Gears of War. Acronyms are handed out on a first come, first serve basis. :evil:

I use to think of GoW as Gears of War, but then I was corrected by Sony fanboys and have just said "Gears" from then on.
