    Uncharted 2 is a absolute MasterPiece of a Game!!!   If you've got a PS3 and haven't got a copy of Uncharted 2 then there's something seriously wrong with you quite frankly! ;)

    Wow that is impressive - and well deserved. This game raised the bar.

    @SickKicks Personally I think Avatar deserves the awards it's getting, and does Uncharted 2. Favorite game, and movie of 2009, and possibly the decade.

    • 3:58pm GMT - February 19th, 2010

    Totally and utterly deserved. Respect where respect is due.

  17. psycho_mantis

    • 5:08pm GMT - February 19th, 2010

    one of the best games of the decade.

    • 5:36pm GMT - February 19th, 2010

    I'm looking forward to Naughty Dog's revival of past IP's Dream Zone, Keef the Thief, Rings of Power and Way of the Warrior.

    Naughty Dog deserve this. Can't wait for a 3rd game. They'd be stupid not to make one now after this :)

  26. taurus82

    • 1:16pm GMT - February 20th, 2010

    I hope Uncharted 3 is the last in the series, so they can move on to something different, not necessarily a new IP but perhaps something without guns.

    • 5:23pm GMT - February 20th, 2010

    I only rented U2. It's fun, but not my game of the year. Batman: AA takes that award for me.

    Uncharted 2 is just like Little Big Planet, winning rewards left and right, but the sales are not as high as they SHOULD be... Uncharted 2 should have surpassed 15mil during the holidays, not MW2!
