The biggest factor there is my lack of PS3, but it isn't the only one. Like many have said: GoW3 is just more of the same. Not that that's a bad thing, but I just felt there were a few new things--or at least not-as-repetitive games--that stood out more. Uncharted looked really good, but I felt like that was somewhat over-hyped. For me, Alan Wake looked outstanding. A truly creepy new IP in the vein of Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, and--from the film category--In the Mouth of Madness. Splinter Cell (a series of which I've never been a fan) Conviction looked like it's stepped beyond the traditional stealth game. Assassin's Creed 2, even though it's a direct sequel, well, at least it has a few new implements and it's only the first sequel (although I'm sure there'll be more. One thing that did excite me about GoW3, as a horror movie fan, was the outrageous gore. Fantastic. I understand that God of War 3 is highly anticipated, but, for me, it barely registered.
