True to that TF2 is amazing for never being a standalone multiplayer shooter, on the contrary, GoW 3 makes TF2 look like Dora Saves the Magic Mermaid.

Is this the best thing the manufactures can do in there "design" time? Very productive use of time and resources.

True to that. KOTOR III would me the greatest thing ever since KOTOR I.

If you are complaining that there aren't video games where you can go on mad shooting rampages, you have issues. If so, play Mercenaries, a fun, open world shooter with many civilians

GoW 3 does have the best character acting and development of any game on the market. I mean, when Dom's wife died in GoW 2 to the emotional scene with Cole in the beginning of GoW 3 at the supermarket. I'd like to see call of duty or halo do that. And that doesn't even take into account the action and suspense the game add during combat. All around these games are some of the decade (Behind Fallout 3 and Half-Life 2, of course). A definite must buy.
