Our Review

uncharted2.

Should I have given Uncharted 2 a perfect score? Probably. It is something I wrestled with while writing the review and since. I felt that some of the minor problems present in the game were exaggerated due to the core experience being so solid. When a game is as great as Uncharted 2, it’s that much more painful to be pulled out of the experience. Still, there’s no denying that Uncharted 2 is by far the most standout game of the year, and one of the titles that many will cite as a highlight of the decade. For anyone who loves their games driven by an entertaining, integrated story that could only be told in the video game medium, it doesn’t get better than Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Naughty Dog has officially set the bar for the blockbusters of the video game realm, and there is, hands down, no better title deserving of the top spot. –Bill (more…)
