I don`t know about Brotherhood or New Vegas but aren`t there better written games than GoW3 ? (I know it´s all about games from the U.S. and 2010. Where is Red Dead Redemption for example?).
I am happy to see Singularity there because it kind of went underground for being a bit too gimmikicky and repetitive in its gameplay but in my opinion it really had some good potential.
