I just finished Gears of War 2.

Uncharted was a great game for PS3 owners who are desperate for good games. Uncharted however is not a generation defining game that sets any standard outside of the PS3's userbase. It was a game that despite its glory passed relatively unoticed under the radar.  And BTW, d21lewis you are soooo sexy and certainly have had sex with many many women!

 

So why does everyone still use it as the benchmark?

It's a game that, against what PS3 fans wanted or expected, is defining the generation. Here it is years later, and only one game has rivaled it graphically (MGS4).

@Seinor, the post above the one I quoted is the one with the real issue. You state your opinion like fact. Gears 2 was better for you, but I would make a strong guess that if you put uncharted and gears 2 in front of someone who knows nothing about either, and does not know what system they are on, the vast majority would come away saying Uncharted had the better story.

Sorry, but your opinion is wrong.  Uncharted's story was cliche and forgetable.   The graphics were Uncharted's big draw.  Even the gameplay was the inferior bastard child of Tomb Raider Legend and Gears of War.  I enjoyed it, but c'mon.
