i'm going to judge for myself.

tombraider is not as good

Hahahaha xD

oh well,they took my keely hawes away

Tomb Raider is an amazing piece of software. I loved playing it.

It's far from perfect, though. I really didn't care for the "boss" fights. The dudes with the shield. I found it completely unnecessary and it sort of took me from the fantasy of the game and reminded me I was playing a video game. Some of the run-n-gun sections could have been pared down a little bit. After a while, in games like this, one can't help but begin to wonder how many more henchmen these villains could possible have in their employ.

Other than that, no complaints. Phenomenal game. I don't criticize it for being a video game at it's core, I just wish it had risen above some of the unfortunate cliches that have reared their ugly head during this console generation.

I don't like the genre very much, but I can say safely say the new Tomb Raider is the one I like the most by a good margin.
I think it's better than UC in every gameplay aspect I can think of: controls are thighter (expecially covering is more precise), level design is less linear compared to UC and more varied, the AI is better, stealth elements are better implemented, puzzles are better and more numerous, there is also some exploration here and there.
In temrms of presentation they are both great, in terms of story I liked TR a bit more, even thougt "drama" moments are quite annoying and worthless in both cases.
btw. I have played UC, UC2 but not UC3.

Vanquish > Gears

To it's credit, what I've played of UC3, about 8 hours in, it's not quite as linear as the first two.

No, I won't come at you. If you think Uncharted 3 > Uncharted 2, I don't want to be anywhere near you for fear that whatever you have might be contagious.

Uncharted 2 > Tomb Raider > Uncharted 3 > Uncharted 1.

I have not played the game but based on all the good stuff I've heard, i would probably enjoy the game a lot. I plan to rent it on gamefly and who knows, I might have to update the statement above.

However, Uncharted 2 is just simply majestic. It moved the franchise so much, even Uncharted 3, which was a phenomenal game in every way could not pass it simply because it didn't have that "out of nowhere" factor that Uncharted 2 pulled off. Nobody expected Uncharted 2 to be as good as it is.

I will shamely admit that playing a game with a female lead character usually doesn't bide to well with me. I can't properly put myself in their shoes or relate as well as I did with Drake and other Sony male leads. Might me my subconcious sexist/gay mindset kicking in but that's just the way it is. Like in FFXIII, the first thing i did when I got to Pulse and was able to fully customize my party was...change my team to Snow, Sazh and Hope o_o
