Uncharted 2 reviews roll in- IGN: 9.5/10 [Editor's Choice Award], Games Radar: 10/10

markomark · 10-09-2009, 06:26 PM

Something tells me the hype for this will be slow building. I think they did a lot for the online fans in building up the game with the early reviews and cinema events. Something tells me come next week, we'll be seeing more ads to get the attention of the general public.

I'd expect this to be getting some serious prime time airring world wide, it's their big Q4 game is it not? The PS3 is meant to be getting a massive marketing campaign this xmas.

Thank God, an Uncharted commercial that actually has GAMEPLAY in it. All the commercials for the first one were 100% cinematics. Kinda dumb when it's the best looking video game on consoles.

Hey is this IN STORES Tuesday, or shipping Tuesday? Just curious when I need to go grab my pre-order from best buy.

I'm always confused by release dates on games. Sometimes they're in the store, sometimes not.

MikeRox · 10-13-2009, 02:55 AM

In store I believe. Think the UK version is out on Friday, shame I has no monies to buy it with... oh well, still gotta finish Uncharted 1, got stuck in a flooded room with shitloads of bad guys

Im sure MW2 will win GOTY only cause....well.... its "call of duty modern warfare 2" ...and thats all, the game could turn out to be not so great and only "ok" but no one will rate it "ok" only cause its "modern warfare 2" ... they'll write up about all the positive things and say that it has some negative things but the positive stuff out weighs it.. even if it is not true. plus MW2 will be multiplatform, theres no way they willl give GOTY to a exclusive title, especially on a sony platform c'mon now LoL

Little Big Planet is an exclusive and it won game of the year almost everywhere last year aside form IGN i think who gave it to fallout.

I think it's the opposite, Fallout 3 pretty much sweeped all GOTY awards.

EDIT I Could be wrong though

Doing a Google search for it is impossible.

Little Big Planet

I can post some more but in all fallout took 1 home. Then LBP dominated aside being beat by MSG4 in some places. This kind of explains why they just released the Little Big Planet GOTY edition.

EDIT: add this list

Awards
LittleBigPlanet has been given numerous awards. It was dubbed Game of the Year by several gaming websites and publications including GamePro[112], Edge[110] and Eurogamer whose editors felt that while the single-player experience was nothing special, the mulitplayer gameplay brought the game into its own and were impressed by some of the user-created levels which inspired "gasps of wonder".[111] It also received various other awards from gaming websites in 2008 including Best New IP and Best Platform Game from IGN[124] and Most Innovative Game from GameTrailers.[113] LittleBigPlanet was judged Best PlayStaton 3 Game at the Spike Video Game Awards[115] and won in eight categories out of 10 nominations at the AIAS Interactive Achievement Awards including Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction, Visual Engineering, Game Design, Game Direction and Outstanding Innovation in Gaming and was judged Family Game of the Year, Console Game of the Year and as Overall Game of the Year.[13] LittleBigPlanet was also given the Award for Artistic Achievement at the 5th British Academy Video Games Awards[116] and was given the awards for Best New Debut, Best Game Design, Best Technology and the Innovation Award at the Game Developers Choice Awards.[117]

So in all for 2008 sony exclusives dominated GOTY winners between LBP and MSG4. I made some fanboy asshole threads about it too if you search for them. So UC2 can be GOTY but most likely MW2 already has won the award just by name. But we havent seen it MW2 yet and looking at the companys track record it will probably be deserved.

**kamspy** · 10-13-2009, 03:43 PM

Lives up to all hype and the game really does blend the lines between gaming and cinema at times.

11/10.

would write more but must PLAY MOAR.

EddieDZ · 10-13-2009, 05:19 PM

so who has picked up UC2 yet.... i think its in stores already(in US, i dont think any of my local stores have it until tomorrow, but i havent checked, i have like absolutely no money at all, gotta wait until next friday for payday before i could get it.

Mase · 10-13-2009, 05:29 PM

I have it but I havent had time to play it, I have this and Brutal Legends I need to playthrough and I am trying to DL the beta to MAG.. Sooo much gaming and such little time

**kamspy** · 10-13-2009, 05:30 PM

It's better than anyone can imagine.

Perfect.

Mase · 10-13-2009, 05:37 PM

Well so long as it doesnt have stupid cave monsters and a shitty jet ski - river part it will be perfect.. UC1 was damn near flawless, save for those two dissapointing parts of the game.

**kamspy** · 10-13-2009, 05:38 PM

U1 is a cheap tech demo next to U2
