Universally praised and winner of SpikeTV's Game of the Year award, there's no doubt Uncharted 2 was a good game. So good, in fact, that the people at Kotaku had a lengthy debate about the game's merits and whether it deserved being called the best game of 2009...

Uncharted 2 took all of that and gave us more. And the more was better. Sure, again, the "game" part was fun (amazing, even), but what makes Uncharted 2 my game of the year, and not just a great game, is that it was a better "movie". There is not a single video game in history that has such professional voice acting, such chemistry between its stars and such confident, capable senses of both drama and humour running throughout.

Real, genuine, heart-warming humour. Intrigue. Betrayal. Fragility. The characters in Uncharted 2 weren't just avatars, they were characters.
