Well, the source is 'ahem' somewhat suspect, but I would agree that technically and in terms of really advancing far and fast, Naughty Dog probably would be my choice right now (console only).
With Uncharted 2 they have produced astonishing game technology that I think outshines anything else on consoles right now, including Killzone 2 (although it's close).
They've also produced a title that has leapt from promosing new IP to serious contender for one of the best released, adding fantastic MP and Coop play at the same time.
IW probably deserve the second slot for CoD4 and what (on the evidence) is an even better game in MW2.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
