God of War Gears of War This is not a "console war" discussion nor is it a "which should I buy" question. This is just my wondering what you think of as soon as you see the shorthand version of both great games. What do you think of when you see GoW?
I used to think of Gears or War immediately, but after joining this site and posting for a while I now think of GoW as God of War, as Gears is often abbreviated GeOW.
I have made a topic about this as well. I always think of gears. GeoW is just stupid and I have never seen it used out side of one of these threads. If people shorten it, they just say gears. I think it should be used interchangeably. You should look at the context. Actually I think people should get rid of acronyms entirely. They are over used. I only use them once the full name has been stated a couple of times. There have been many times I didn`t know what game they were talking about because they used an acronym before stating the full name.
I can't equate Gears with Gears of War exclusively because it could also be associated with Xenogears. I'm half and half on God (or Gears)of War. Also, I've never seen GeoW. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Look at Gamespot's reviews... Whenever it is abriviated for both games, it's simply GoW.
- GoW - God of War - Wait, since he's asking... Gears of War - But the first thing I thought was still God of War... - Hm it's a trick. Did I really think of God of War first, when I think about it now, it's almost as if I thought of both and how they compete with each other.
