This is the saddest, sack of shit thread this site has had in a long time. Congrats Soriku. The Ubisoft boycott has competition.
Anyhoos, just to attempt to put an end to this:
Uncharted received an 89 from Gametrailers and the sequel got a 93. Gears of War got a 91 from Gametrailers and the sequel got a 95. In both cases, the sequels got a 4% increase even without innovating. Is that fair enough?
Regarding GTA IV and Halo 3, both were the first in the series this gen, so everything had a nice coat of polish on it, and that counts for something. Both Gears and Uncharted are on their second games this gen, and the standards to differentiate are higher for both. It seems regardless of the speech used, Gametrailers has treated both fairly equally, even though it was surely accidental.
I think the real problem isn't that they worded their explanation poorly, it's that they had to provide an explanation in the first place just because complete morons felt the need to complain about a 9.3. You, including those bitching in this thread, are the problem with the review system.

People are forgetting, that Halo 3 was in 2007, and Gears 2 in 2008, standards change quickly. I still can't believe, people are crying over 9.3, they are less than half a point apart. Ps3 fanboys(evil kind) on gametrailers, are awful, they gave me chills just thinking about them.

People aren't forgetting a damn thing. They're conveniently pegging it to Gears of War to suit their needs, but in the next argument will mention just how different it is. Let's look at this in reality. Uncharted is not original because it's Tomb Raider with a high polish. I loved the game to death, but frankly it got beat long ago as far as innovation goes. People were pegging it as Dude Raider before it even came out, and there's a reason why.
