Of course not. It has new game stink all over it. I don't need 12 months to know Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best games ever either. However, based on history and how I and everyone else can hype new games to oblivion, there were plenty of times it was better for me to keep my mouth shut. While Uncharted 2 may be a game that ages gracefully, it may also be a game that gets replaced quickly with a far superior sequel or far superior copycats. Uncharted was not a bad game. Back in 2007, it may have been able to be on a list just like this. It has now been torn to shreds by it's sequel (or so I've heard). This is why it's best to wait. Not for you though. You do what you want. I'm talking about what the most circulated video game magazine should be doing when they create a list like this. |
For the record. I agree with you. But at the same time, your logic is slightly flawed because the first Zelda and Mario have been approved apon time and time again and yet the originals still ranked higher because of the impact they had when they first released. Even if Uncharted 3 is better then Uncharted 2, which it should be, it won't have the same impact. No one expected Uncharted 2 to be as good as it is. Uncharted was amazing, sure. Uncharted 2 is as close as a game can come to perfection within the constraints of the genre at this point in time (imo). Just looking at metacritic and how it's ranked against other incredible titles when they also had the "new game stink" just shows how amazing Uncharted 2 is. Even if Uncharted 3 is superior, it won't have the same impact and Uncharted 2 should top it on any list, just like Bioshock 2 "might" be better then Bioshock. But it won't matter if it is. Once a game blows everyone away, it's expected from the games that follow it so much so that it's almost impossible for them to surpass them. Almost. Obvious exceptions to the rule exist. And it of course only applys to games who blew people away to begin with.
