Why the graphics in Crystal Bearers is more impressive than many think.

Okay, not just any streaming, but streaming this fast. And Uncharted 2 doesn't have textures as detailed as some other PS3 games (especially with all that happens on screen).

Plus some developers admit they hold back graphics for some games to accommodate streaming. Insomniac said that was why the textures in Resistance (which I believe uses the same engine as Uncharted?) aren't as detailed as Gears of War (which also uses a bit of streaming but not as much).

Resistance 2 uses Insomniac Engine V.2.0 and Uncharted 2 uses the Naughty Dog 2.0 engine as well as the Havok physics engine. Just to let you know for future reference . 

Thank you. And from what I've seen they both go for huge scale over texture detail.

Resistance 2 does and after a recent play through you do notice bland textures and a couple of other graphical annoyances. Uncharted 2 only ever suffers from a few texture pop ins, but they are rare and you'd have to be nitpicking to find them.
