Now that God of War has fallen into the MultiPlayer darkside, What other good singleplayer games are left?

I still don't see why you're identifying multiplayer as a factor to Uncharted 3's decrease in quality. There are many other factors which could have affected Uncharted 3's quality like Naughty Dog losing quality, The Last Of Us development, franchise fatigue, your tastes changing, etc.

I think the main problem with your thought process is the fact that Uncharted 2 also had multiplayer, yet you thought it was great. This proves that multiplayer does not hinder the single player's quality. Using your logic, I could just as easily say that Uncharted 3 dropped in quality, in your opinion, because it incorporated stealth mechanics. Neither of these makes sense because Uncharted 2 had these things also.

My thinking is that with UC2, the first version of the MP wasn't outstanding, it wasn't half hearted, not outstanding either. That is because a lot of attention was given to the SP.

In U3, after the success of the MP in Uc2, a lot more effort went into the MP. IMO not much new was added to the SP with a lot taken out. therefore, I conclude the SP suffered as a result of the MP.
