You also have no reason to go back through the single-player campaign in GeoW, and you do in HS (to unlock more bonus content via Glyphs). If you wanted to do that in HS, it would take much longer. And not everyone considers online play an automatic bonus that should inflate a review score. Gears of War is undoubtedly one of the best games of the generation, and yes, better than HS. I don't think that's debatable. But HS is also a must-play for other reasons.
As for IGN, I don't necessarily believe they have an anti-PS3 agenda (I find that's more prevalent at GameSpot), but I DO know their Heavenly Sword review was trash. Plain and simple.
