The exactly what I say. God of War came first, plus there is no other way to shorten up that title, are you going to call it just God? No, it's GoW. Gears on the other hand, you can call it that and people will know what you're talking about.
I say Gears of War. TBH I would imagine it varies depending on who you are talking to. I call Gears of War 'Gears', and I don't talk about God of War. Either way, I class both games as 'GoW', but I didn't think about this before I read this topic.
I shorten Gears of War to GoWar, which is pronounced like "Gwar". And when I talk about Gears of War, people think I'm talking about the band "Gwar". It's awesome.
Its contextual. When speaking I would never say G O W. So its really only online when typing, and at that point there should be a point of reference if you are going to break out an acronym.
