    Uncharted 2 deserves it. Best game this entire gen after MGS4 and Bioshock, IMO.

    @2

    Don't rag on Bioshock

    if you understood any of the philosophy or the topics explored, and knew how it came together to make what is easily one of the most in depth pieces of media of all time, a comment like 'best game this gen' wouldn't come as much as a shock

    (see what i did there...pun...)

    @2- Yeah, Bioshock is one of the best games this gen. It was GOTY among many reputable journalists. Just because it was a timed 360 exclusive, doesn't mean it's not a good game. Don't be a fanboy.

    I think uncharted 2 is better than mgs 4 and bioshock imo.

    UC 2 is the best game i've played so far.........

    Bioshock is a good game but can't compare to the king ( UC2 ).....................

    I think the 1 million figure reported is world wide.

    Modern warfare 2 is a good war game and really fun  to play online but no way it is better than uncharted 2 single player.I will say I like modern warfare 2 online better.

    borderlands done well

    @3 multiplayer wise yes, but if MW2 was solely singleplayer then uncharted just wipes the floor  clean with it

     MW2 sucks balls compared to Uncharted2, both online and offline play.

    • 10:56am GMT - November 13th, 2009

    That's all Forza did?  Man, GT5 is gonna kill that game.

    • 1:02pm GMT - November 13th, 2009

    I was thinking Forza Motorsport 3 would be in the top 3 if not 2nd.

    Same here... I can't believe Forza 3 is down that low.... I sure hope GT5 kills that game.... we'll see..... but I will be getting both eventually

    uc 2 and mw2 are both great games. Enjoy them and dont complain.

  21. Silentkiller223

    • 8:50pm GMT - November 13th, 2009

    i'm am soo sick of people talkin about mw2...it's not that good of a game when u compare it to games that have already came out on the ps3 exlusively, like....killzone 2, uncharted 2, MGS4,..and resistance 2...imo i believe all those games are better than mw2..so stop talkin about it and start playin other great  games...and most of these people that are sayin mw2 is the best game ever are 360 gamers, so they don't even know how good other games are, like the ones i mentioned...

  22. O_G_H

    • 11:20pm GMT - November 13th, 2009

    To a 360-only gamer, it IS the best game ever.  Add that to how biased sites (like Joystiq) are, and you have the super hype machine rolling along.

    @21, no matter how many people say they hate public transport, the mw2 hype train was the biggest and most most vague i'v ever seen. telling pc gamers that they dropped dedicated servers a few days before it came out so they wouldn't pull there pre-orders, hundreds of negative reviews deleted from amazon.com. cod4 was good but for people to believe that activision would let IW bring out  a FULL game in two years are just impulse buyers plain and simple. don't believe everything you read. if they did bring out a demo, it would be half the length of the actual game, i just don't think it deserves any praise. great games take alot of time to make, simple as that

    Bioshock was awesome! And everyone has their own opinions.

    I was expecting more sales but good to see its on top.

    @1 Bioshock was terrible...well, okay--mediocre

    im really surprised Demon's Souls didn't make this list because it was realeased early, got great reviews and is an amazing game.  I actually know 14 people who own it and I just can't believe it didn't even push 156000 units :(

    but Borderlands is #3? i didn't see that coming

    and Forza is only #8? I don't like it but it got great reviews

    and dear god, not wii fit again

    @23...why do you think all those games i mentioned took so long to make...cause "great games take alot of time to make, simple as that"...but yea i didn't really catch all of wht u said srry bout that, but if u get back on to check this can u plz restate wht u mean, just so i understand all of wht ur sayin,lol.

    not surprised, Naughty dogs should be happy with these results.

    uc2 is a marvel ... I still find myself stopping to take in the incredible atmosphere they have created.  Naughty dog have set the standard for action-adventure gaming.  Not only does it pay hommage to a wide variety of films and games, it stands up in it's own right as a spectacular production.

    UC2 is fast-paced, highly polished and a real treasure to play. Pardon the pun.

    It's funny to see UC2 beat halo 3 when you consider that 360 has a better instal base than ps3, guess that just proves that ps3 exclusive games are of better qaulity than thoes of 360!
