Naughty Dog has one of the best track records in this industry. Sony really got lucky when they bought them.

Is Golden Abyss canon?

I haven't played it yet. And yes 2 is my favorite.

Them and (forget which exact team it is) the developers behind the 3D mario games!

They always have great love from the fans! And there games are solid 90+ (most of the time)

handheld brought down the amazing average, just like gears of war judgement brought down gears amazing average. both the handheld and judgement were made for diff people so i dont think either should be counted

Yes! Uncharted 2 is my favorite.

These franchise meta threads are a good idea. Could be nice of you collect all of the franchise metas in one thread in the end. I'm currently buried in my exam paper and I don't wanna miss any of them. ;)

Uncharted 1/2/3 where what I was expecting from the PS3.

Golden Abyss blew me away, seeing that it was on a handheld. Yeah, it has a terrible metascore, for what is arguably the best action adventure game ever released on a handheld :|

An 80 is not a terrible metascore lol. Some of the greatest game series haven't had a single game 90+. It's just how fickle the reviewers are feeling at the time. 

Really excellent series from what I've played, which is only 1 and 2.

The first game had some really good art direction and an excellent story, plus some terrific gun play. The second one has all time great production values and some staggering set pieces, along with improved fighting and stealth mechanics. If only the gameplay in 2 matched the presentation, it would be one of the best games ever made. As it stands, it's slightly overrated, but still something I'd be proud to include in a top 100 list.

Can't wait to play 3 and Golden Abyss :)

Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 3 are good games, but Uncharted 2 will always be the king!

Uncharted 2 was and still an amazing spectacle.
