Not many games have reason to implement it in the same way. In any case implementation = artistry, the actual technical development was all Havok in this case.

What games have "reason" to do is irrelevant though. Fact is, Uncharted 2 has done it in a way that has yet to be replicated. The credit given is well deserved.

Credit for artistry yes. Uncharted 2 wouldn't stand out on pure technical merit alone because people like you would never appreciate it.
