Confused by the title? Let me clear this up a bit then. In one corner we have Gears Of War. An acclaimed third-person shooter that revolutionized the cover system in games and brought on many new ways to mutilate your opponents in online matches. In the other corner we have God Of War. A superbe action/hack'n'slash/puzzle-ish game that revitalized Quick Time Events (QTE) and brought a refreshing take on hacking away at opponents.

Unfortunately both these great series are abbreviated to GoW, which makes it difficult to discern what game somebody might be talking about. It also upsets me whenever I see people reffering to Gears as GoW but I'll try to keep my opinion out of this as much as possible until the end.

This is where you come in, the hoardes of the gamespot forums. Which game do you think the acronym should refer to? Please give reasoning behind your answer, and don't just spam "GEARS!!!!11" or "Kratos PWNS!!" Let's keep this nice and clean and let the battle begin. I'll even start it off.

Like I mentioned earlier, it upsets me when people refer to Gears as GoW. God of War was the original GoW, and in my eyes, much more deserving of the acronym. The beautiful graphics for it's time, the amazing gameplay that brought me to play the game again and again, and the fact that you can't really refer to God of War in any short manner other than GoW. Gears of War on the other hand can easily be reffered to as Gears. While Gears does have better graphics than God of War, and some might argue better gameplay (despite being of a completely different genre, i.e. only fanboys and morons make that remark) God of War was here first, and first come, first serve.

Well it just started up recently with me, like a few days ago at most. And I've played plenty of times online before.

Alright so my disc is in perfect condition and my PS3 is just fine, but for some reason whenever I try to search for game types online, I get a message saying "Downloading Game Settings" that stays there and doesn't go away unless I hit a button. Also, when I try to start a splitscreen game, the game freezes while trying to load the map, and it keeps freezing at the same spot too (when the loading bar is about a 5th full). So does anyone have an idea what might becausing this, or has this ever been encountered before? Thanks for any help you can give me.

First and foremost, please learn to speak/type proper english. You know, by using proper grammar. You're just adding to the stereotype that 360 users are morons.

To answer your question, Kojima doesn't want MGS4 to go to the 360 for various reasons, and like mentioned earlier, contracts come into play that make those wants legally binding. In addition to that, MGS4 is having language options limited because of lack of space on a 50GB bluray disc. If MGS4 would ever go to the 360, that would mean the 360 version would need about 5 dual-layered discs to fit the entire game.

In other words, stop dreaming, it won't happen.

I'm in quite the dillema here and to be honest, it really sucks. I want to connect my PSP to my ****** N Wireless Router, but unfortunately it fails to crate any connection with the router at all. The reason for this is because the router is set to "802.11g" and, as far as I know,my PSP works only on"802.11b".However, my brother's MAC laptop only works on "802.11g" and nothing else. I've tried changing it to "802.11b&802.11g&802.11n" but despite it containing all of them my brother's MAC can't connect to it while my PSP can. Since he payed for the router, it gets set to whatever conveniences him.

So here comes the question. Is there any way, any trick or modification that I can do to get my PSP to run on "802.11g"? Oris there is a way to get the laptop to run on "802.11b&802.11g&802.11n"? I would really appreciate any help on the matter. Thanks.
