The link above will no longer work - it's been updated to show "Devil Survivor 2". Previously, it incorrectly showed "Summoner". New link below.

Typo. The correct score is 8.0 and is now reflected in the article.
Excellent! I hope you enjoy both.
The score was incredible and I don't normally like that kind of music. And the game has all the foundation set for a big world, but they never give it to you. I can only hope for a prequel where you play as the Errorist you used to be in an open world.
GOTY generally goes to games that deliver the strongest campaign, not necessarily exceptional multiplayer. While I personally don't like Gears, I can honestly say that the campaign is definitely lacking, which greatly hurts its potential GOTY candidacy.
I highly doubt it will be exclusive, as well. Square-Enix hasn't officially stated it, but it seems unlikely, especially given all the money the extensive development time will be costing and Sony's history of not paying for exclusives from third parties.
I actually don't like or am not interested in about 7 of those 10 games. I personally think some different genres should have been mixed in, too. But to each his own.
It's a shame that just because someone thinks a game is awesome, anyone who doesn't like it (or the franchise it comes from) is a troll or not a gamer.
The whole point of the article was to illustrate my personal reasons for not wanting to buy Gears 3. I tried to make it clear that I have no intentions of getting it due to previous bad experiences with the franchise. You don't go back to a restaurant that made you throw up the last time you went, do you?
Thanks - the post and link have been updated.
