And I place FFXII above Zelda because it actually makes an attempt to shake up the formula in a meaningful way, and succeeds.

Gears would absolutely not work as a first person game.

Zelda wins my vote. I haven't played anything else tho...besides guitar hero 2 which was great.

I don't recall saying otherwise, or saying that it being third person was a bad thing. I just said Gears of War happens to be a damn near perfect representation of a subgenre I don't care for.

You said that "First person is much, much more my speed for games like this." I pointed out that games like this would be unplayable in first person.

Well, to clarify I mean "meatheads blowing the shit out of each other with big guns." Nothing intricate, just the general theme. For modern action games the Unreal Tournament style of FPS is far and away my favorite.
