Squilliam said: Gears 2 or Uncharted 2? hmm... I'm talking from a perspective that if I had to own just one of the two, which would I own? Well since the story in Uncharted 2 is mediocre with a good delivery somewhat but some poor continuity and difficulty to suspend disbelief and Gears 2 is also a mediocre story with average delivery but with good continuity and somewhat a better ability to suspend disbelief, well I have to say its about even. Graphics? Well they both look pretty good, however with Uncharted 2 theres that Uncanny valley effect going on. Multiplayer? Instant win for Gears of War for local play vs none. Gameplay? The polish and variety of Gears of War 2 shooting is better, its a better shooter at heart and I didn't really enjoy the platforming parts of Uncharted 2, technically I would say that Gears of War is objectively better at this and subjectively better at this metric. Overall Uncharted 2 is a rental or a cheap $20 purchase nearer the end of the generation and Gears of War 2 is a game which deserves to be bought new @ $60 U.S.D. played through about 5-10 times before selling used because of local play, its so much better value!

Why do I always get the impression that you're more of a playstation pessimist than anyone on this site?
And also, people would respectively disagree with you about uncharted 2 being unworthy of a full purchase and gears of war 2 being the better game.
