Lets go over everything wrong with your post. First of all having 1,200,000 pre-orders 2 weeks before release with probably greater than 2 million sales first week does not equal small. Secondly having a 6 hour campaign (running straight through on normal) with multiplayer and co-op does not equal dlc in the slightest. Uncharted 2 has a 10 hour campaign according to IGN and it had a development time 2 times as long.

Also for the other people trolling the sub 90 metacritic score, was Uncharted a bad game, or Resistance 1&2, or Infamous, or GT4? I could keep going but maybe you should think before you try trolling. Although on the other hand if your trolling you can't be too smart in the first place...

6 hours on the hardest difficulty. On normal/easy you might get 4 hours out of it.

Second of all, uncharted 2 is 12 hours, and is at leat a generational leap ahead in terms of technical quality than what is presented in odst.

I never said it was a bad game, I'm just saying that games like GTAIV and Fable II have offered more content for about a 8th of the price as DLC.

Since you haven't played either game yet all the figures your saying you pulled straight out of your ass. The play times I used came straight from IGN, if you don't believe me go look at the video review for Uncharted 2 and you can see he very clearly states the play through at 10 hours. For ODST I challenge you to go into the game on Legendary, find all the audio logs and beat it in under 6 hours. Again the 6 hour play through as cited by many websites is on normal or heroic, of course it will be less than that on easy and more on legendary.

The only thing thats a leap ahead in Uncharted 2 over ODST is graphics. Please tell me what other features Uncharted 2 has that make it far more advanced than ODST?

Again lets go through all the content on ODST; completely original campaign at around 6 hours that can be replayed with up to 4 player co-op, firefight on 8 different maps with different day settings, Halo 3 multiplayer with every map ever released as well as 3 completely new maps, Halo Reach beta and the ability to unlock the most coveted armor in the game by attaining a number of high difficulty achievements. That may not be worth 60 dollars to you but for me and many others its a first day purchase.
