Haven't played Tomb Raider yet but I dont see how it could be better than any Uncharted(1-3). They were masterpieces, I don't think I could find anything wrong with them. I can't wait to play Tomb Raider and im sure its going to be amazing but...just my opinion.

But Uncharted is not average. Even though I didn't exactly enjoy it, I can see its above average and appealed to me enough to play through the trilogy.

I'm not really trying to prove Tomb Raider is better than Uncharted, that's subjective. I can't prove TR's action packed and fast gameplay is more enjoyable than the boring, slow paced, stop everything dialogue heavy Uncharted series. I can't prove great controls and fun gunplay in TR is more enjoyable than the broken controls, horrible gunplay, and endless waves of bullet sponge enemies of Uncharted.

All I'm saying is... I enjoyed TR more than the Uncharted series. Simple as that. Don't read too much into it.

You're actually right. I enjoy the characters, the story, and just looking at the game. The gameplay on the otherhand... about average.

I sold my copies, I just can't imagine really playing them again. But I'll likely play future releases.

Haven't played the game yet so I can't judge but UC3 > UC2

Also pretty much sure a lot of the rave for the game is because of the boobs. 

I have'nt played Tomb Raider yet but for me it's Uncharter2>Uncharted>Uncharted3. Tomb Raider looks great, not sure if i'll prefer it over UC2, looks better than the first Uncharted, I would also say that it looks better from what I saw/heard than Uncharted2 but I won't make that statement untill I play it.

What is this oposite day? I didn't get the memo. ;)

I loved the old Tomb Raider games. Been playing them since the first one on Saturn. The originals are still good. Legends, Anniversary and Underworld are great. Underworld is still one of my favorite games of this generation. The new Tomb Raider is my new favorite Tomb Raider.

As for the whole Uncharted Vs Tomb Raider debate. I think Tomb Raider has a better story, but Uncharted has more well written characters. While Lara is very well written the rest of the characters aren't as fleshed out as Uncharted. But the game is all about Lara dealing with stuff mostly on her own and not about her interacting with other characters like Drake does all the time. She is also in constant peril while Nathan gets to take a breather and talk things out with his buddies a lot. I liked Lara's seclusion. She has always been mostly on her own with at most a character or two on the radio to give some clues and details to help her. Neither is fundamentally better, but one method can appeal more to one person than another. That's why you like Uncharted's more blockbuster movie approach.

As for graphics, Tomb Raider is amazing. The PC version is absolutely stunning and the console version looks just as good to me as Uncharted. Uncharted often rendered beautiful vistas which are more aesthetically appealing while Tomb Raider renders a lot of bleak destroyed oppressive scenes. Again they may appeal to different people.

The pacing in Uncharted is like a movie. The pacing in Tomb Raider is handed to the player. I prefer the exploration focus on Tomb Raider. The set pieces are exciting in both games. Uncharted is more over the top like a Michael Bay movie. Nothing wrong with that I love over the top. I also appreciated and enjoyed the less fantastical but still death defying action that Lara found herself in. She was on an island after all, there were no trains to run on top over or cargo planes to leap over boxes for.

As for the multiplayer, I don't have any interest in either. I haven't played Tomb Raider's MP yet and may never. I have played Uncharted's MP and I didn't like it, but I don't care for Uncharted combat in general. That brings me to "balance". I'm not sure what you mean but if you mean combat/weapons then Tomb Raider wins outright. The combat in Tomb Raider is excellent. You can be stealthy or you can be aggressive. No matter how I approached the combat I had fun and never felt like the game was getting in my way. Uncharted is very loose and the bad guys take too many bullets in my opinion. The result is combat that I just want to get past so I can see what Drake does next. With Tomb Raider I enjoyed everything and never wanted to finish one thing so I could do another.

With that said I don't think the games are enough alike to be compared in the way everyone is. Tomb Raider is a much more open ended game. You explore, upgrade weapons, level up Lara, and get into a lot of exciting trouble. Nathan Drake gets into a lot of trouble too, but that's about all the two have in common. Uncharted is good and Tomb Raider is good. Liking one more than the other doesn't mean one is good and the other is bad.

Lol this is funny, I'd rather rank those games in the exact opposite way :)

Better graphics? They're kinda at par. Also, TR doesn't rely on FMV nearly as much.

Better MP? Grenade spam.

Better set piece? TR's has large enviornments that allow for more tactical combat and simply offer more to explore.

Better pace? Uncharted is slow.

Better balance? Uncharted is waves of bullet sponge enemies that can bore you to tears.

Uncharted 2 > Tomb Raider > Uncharted > Uncharted 3

Tomb Raider is a brilliant game.

Haven't played the new Tomb Raider yet, but in my opinion Uncharted 2 is by far the best game in the series. The others were absolutely great as well, though.
