I agree that U2 was a very good game but it doesn't deserve GOTY. NSMBWii does.
NSMBWii brought a lot more new things than U2 did.

OT:

Agreed with twesterm that Uncharted series should and probably will stop after the third iteration. Gears shouldn't go any further than 2 iterations.

1. Name all the things NSMB Wii has done, that haven't been done before.

2. You will soon stop saying U2 doesn't deserve GotY when you see 90% of sites give it the GotY award.

3. Actually play Gears 2.

1. 4 Player - Do i need to say more? Really...Come on for the first time.

2. Agreed with you on that point because even though I want NSMBWii to come as GOTy on many sites U2 will because most of the sites are bised against wii..and thats not to say U2 was a great game (i personally loved it and hope for more (my friends ps3)) but for me NSMBWii deserves it more..

3. IAgreed on that because I have only played Gears for about 3 hours and its a great game and it doesn't really have much room for improvement so if it keeps on going then in my opinion it might start to feel a little old so instead why not stop making gears after 2nd iteratioin and then next gen bring it out and hype it up all over again and people will be like omg its gears again lol

1. That's a first for MARIO. Not a first for the genre (LBP did it last year) or the first for a game. So please, name some things that haven't been done until NSMB Wii.

2. Thats your opinion, fair enough... That doesn't mean you can go about any thread with Uncharted 2 in it and say it doesn't deserve GotY... Just because you think NSMB does deserve it.

3. They need to finish the story. I suggest playing the game until the end.

Look at R&C. EIGHT games. EIGHT! With that sort of universe, you can really move onto anything, and if you're running out of ideas, you can always say "HE WASN'T DEAD JUST ON A METEOR" and everything's fine.

Gears, yes. Alien invasions have to end, and COG was formed to protect the Earth. That can't go on very long. But Uncharted has an endless supply of mythological artifacts to choose from. Thousands of years of history from dozens of different cultures. And then there's how he actually met Eddy Raja, which Eye of Indra annoyingly didn't explain.

I'm pretty sure they are not aliens. They have lived underground forever, and they just started attacking. So they have to all be wiped out. That can go on forever

How long can you have a game series that revolves around killing one other race? It would get stale.

*looks at Call of Duty*

takes awhile

All around the world, you play as different people of different nationalities, fighting against different terrorist organisations which are all coincidentally situated in the middle-East and have, of course, no resemblance to Al-Qaeda.

Also, set in the real world, and related to a real world problem.

When monsters start popping out of the ground and creating chest high walls, I'll agree that Gears can be a lasting series. Until then, I think it's best off with 3 entries, maybe 4.

It's statements like this that make me wonder if you've ever played Gears or if you just truly like down-trodding anything that's not from Sony's first party (can't help but call it like I see it ).

I love Gears.

BUT, that doesn't stop the fact that it's about an alien invasion. The story of the first is connected to the story of the second, and it's one large arc, which will either finish, or fizzle out with no conclusion.

Uncharted doesn't have that problem because at any point, Drake can hang up his pistol and quit, living off his buns and the money from the stolen treasure which he somehow manages to finish in six months. Uncharted 2 had a perfectly satisfactory conclusion, but also allowed more adventures. Hell, Drake could quit, THEN find another treasure and go look for it.

When Marcus Fenix is dead, he can't very well continue his fight. If the Locust are wiped out, they can't terrorise humanity.

I definitely want to see much more Uncharted, even after 3 games! UC2 propelled the series to my favourite this generation (second to MGS, since I'm a die hard fan). Someone here also made a good point that the humour and characters that made the first two games so believable would start to get old but I don't think that's gonna happen. The characters in this series are so deep and well thought out that I don't think they can ever become stale in our eyes. You see, Nathan Drake is a lot like James Bond; even after so many flicks, no one gets tired of Bond's charm...Nathan Drake is very similar. I'm all for seeing more Uncharted, but I don't want them to bring one out every two years...I would rather prefer one releasing every 3-4 years instead...Plus, I would love to see Naughty Dog cook up another wonderful series along with Uncharted!

All humans are the same. They just have different clothes, adn maybe different skin if the developer is feeling really different. At least in Gears you have more than one kind of locust(?)

There again who's to say another enemy can't be presented in the Gears storyline? Or who's to say the conclusion of defeated the Locust (for being a fan of Gears, you sure can't remember the enemy's name well) will end in the 3rd entry into the series?

 Drake certainly seems to have a good connection with "last year's model", perhaps the 3rd will conclude that Drake should settle down with the only riches he needs (if you catch my drift).  You see, I can draw up ideas for whether or not a series should be extened as well . 

Could, yes, but it doesn't have to.

Alien invasions don't go on forever. Either the Locust die, or the Humans die. Inevitable. And if the Locust die and MORE aliens/whatever appear, I'm pretty sure Fenix would just kill himself.

Treasure hunting adventures can be numerous. Drake can always discover new treasures to find, for as long as Naughty Dog wants to make the series. Thousands of years of mythology from dozens of different cultures, as I said. He's only done El Dorado and Shambhala/Cintamani so far.

Owned!!!! ja ja ja.

Uncharted have the most important tools for succeed like one of most important series in the sector. Great characters, a  very rich world, exelent gameplay extructure, a incredible developer studio behind it, and the perfect coctel of elements.
I bet for Uncharted like one of the most importants series in the game industry for so many years to come.

I doubt it, it has one, *maybe* two good games left in it before they really should move onto something else.

...

er, nevermind, I r stooped. I thought you meant long running franchise for some reason. Yeah, I'm sure the third one will be big being at least as good as the previous ones and I'm pretty sure it will stop there except for maybe a PSP spin off.

Naughty dog always does just 3 games (not counting racing spinoffs). Naughty Dog stopped Crash Bandicoot after 3 and they stopped Jak and Daxter after 3.

They know when to quit, trust me, they won't milk this series.

They have already stated to want to do more Nathan Drake's as long as fans want them though

That can be interpreted differently depending on how you look at it.

My guess is there will be an Uncharted 3 (like 99% chance), and I'd put an Uncharted 4 at about a 50% chance, dependent on how well UC3 would do.I doubt they would do a spinoff, that would just be lame.
