Noteworthy....in the last few years? Oh jeez....DCOU, Infamous 2, KZ3, LBP2, Uncharted 3, Starhawk, Twisted Metal, GT6, TLOU, Ascension, Into the Nexus...and that's just off the top of my head. I went 2011, I think, up til now, since you said "in the last few years" and only said TLOU was noteworthy

Here's the thing, several of those games you mentioned wouldn't be considered noteworthy if they were 3rd party games. They get an underserved level of praise simply for being 1st party.

If you're going to keep the bar low, then there are tons of noteworthy games.

I'm gonna need your definition of "noteworthy". These games are all hovering around 80 or higher metascores and DCOU (despite not scoring as well) is a really popular MMO on PS3. Even if these games were 3rd party, they'd be worth playing. Meaning, they are worth noting.....noteworthy. I don't know how you consider the bar "low" when mentioning those games, when Uncharted 3 and LBP2 are some of the best games in the gen, KZ is a great shooter that's is spoken in the same sentence as a Halo, CoD, or BF. GT6 is the definitive racer of the gen. So on and so forth.....that's a low bar?

And I saw in some other comments that you tried to belittle Infamous by saying "well then, Crackdown is noteworthy as well". Well....Crackdown came out in 2007, so it shouldn't even be in this discussion of "noteworthy games in the last few years". Secondly, Crackdown is a great game, and if this conversation was happening in 2007, I'd put it on a list of "noteworthy games made by MS". To try and compare a newer great game to an older great game.....and use that as a means to bring them both down, by saying the bar is "low"....pitiful

Don't try and bring down Sony's games because Microsoft hasn't made many themselves. That's why you had to reach for Crackdown. Because nobody is talking about it right now (since it's 7 years old), you use that to bring down the likes of Infamous 2 by saying they're comparable. What noteworthy titles has MS made in the last few years? Oh, Gear: Judgment? Well then Resistance 2 is automatically noteworthy.

See what I did? Took a legitimate game relevant to the discussion, and brought it down with a "comparable" game that nobody is talking about only because the game is old, not because it's not good or worth playing. Try and keep things apples to apples, please
