Sounds like the people at Naughty Dog are starting to believe their own hype. In my opinion their stories have never been great, even the Uncharted games. Well written and well acted does not a great story make. I will agree with Naughty Dog that most games don't have great stories. I read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies and games generally don't have stories that can compare to the best of those mediums. The best story in a game I've played in a long time was Enslaved. The ending was a little weird but as stories go it was pretty damn good. In my opinion Portal 2 had the best story of last year and it was extremely well implemented and presented. If the Uncharted gamers where movies they'd be considered big budget B-Movie rip offs of Indiana Jones. As games they feel fresh, fun, funny, and exciting. It's Uncharted's characters, not their stories, that shine.
