I know that title will throw a few sparks but thats the key to getting the readers attention. Truth is, im actually about to praise the game. Uncharted 2 has for me been one of the most breathtaking and exciting games i have played in a long long time, actually more to the point...ever. That said, i feel a huge void that games released since cannot fill. Anyone else feeling this way after uncharted 2? or any other game for that matter?

Feel free to post your favorite games and why your drawn back to them.

Many games before it´s time have succeded in doing something unreal, so i dont think its done nothing more than push more developers and thatll bring us more better games

Serious? There are many... neh, mounds of games up to the par set by UC2.. Have a look at MGS or KZ2 ect. Mate, just go rent em if u dont own them already! Do your self a favour! I agree that UC2 is the preemo game of the past 12 months, but there are alot of EPIC games out there

I agree with that pretty much.

I also see what you are saying Foley, RE4 did that with me for a while.

Being on the Playstation thread, maybe there's still a few that have not played RE4. Get on it if not.

lol.

Yeah the game was good; but the OP is clearly over-reacting. The best? Maybe in your opinion. But remember that Crash Bandicoot 3 was also an awesome game, d'ya still play that?

I think the only game that got me excited and addicted was New Super Mario Bros. wii.

I played it for about 2 days non stop, got stuck on a hard bit then the awesomeness soon wore off.

I can say im addicted to the GH/RB franchise but thats cos it has replay value...

Yeah I dunno where im going with this. Its 130am and the day prior I worked 12 straight hours so im buggered...and tired...hmm, maybe I should go and post on the 'cant get to sleep thread...'

NSMBW ticks me off because the movement is too slow IMO. But good game none the less.

Yes. I feel the same way everything else looks mediocre after playing UC2! Whenever i play a game where the character needs to jump or climb things, I cant help but wish I was using Drake instead- he made jumping look good.

But as time passes you'll find other games, I am slowly getting into gear with MGS4, I just wish someone had told me to play old games way before I touched uncharted

Either way I guess UC3 will have a lot to live up to.

Yeah I'm the say way, I've never really finished games and can count the games I've finished on one probably not including U1 and 2.

I'm playing gta4, ac2 and batman and while there meant to be great games there just seem to be average to me not pulling me in like Uncharted 1 and 2 did.

I completed this 5 times and to be honest im sick of it now, i havnt played it again since about 1 week after its release. Pretty average game for me. You could say ive moved on lol.

I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy other games after U2 as U2 raised the bar far above anything I've ever seen before. However, I did enjoy MW2 and NSMB wii, so I guess it didn't 'ruin' games for me.

My suggestion would be to wait for God of War 3. That looks like it may be even better than uncharted 2. And then you've got a heap of other games that look promising.

@ dumbnutz, you realize that calling a game that you completed FIVE times 'average' is nonsensical. For you to have finished it 5 times means that it must of been a pretty awesome game.

Oblivion is the game for me, I will still go back to play it when I find other games aren't doing it for me, even after some 600+ hours poured into the game already.

Not really, im a trophy and achievement hunter. Im currently playing Cloudy with a chance of meatballs on 360 for the 1000pts hardly an awesome game though is it? U2 is a good game its just apart from the graphics it does nothing new and is very linear. Ive enjoyed Infamous, Army of Two 2, Assassins Creed 2, Bayonetta and Darksiders far more.

Ive never played it, Ive heared all the hype, but never played the first one, What should I do first, Do I need to play the first one to really enjoy 2, OR can I just jump straight into 2?

Get no.1 just so you know the character of Nathan Drake, its only like $40 and well worth the money spent, you'll also appreciate no.2 more if u play no.1 first just to see how far they have come with the graphics.

you only needed to play the game twice for trophies. so the extra 3 times were just to torture yourself? makes sense. NOT.
