Uncharted 2 scores five at GDC Awards, full video inside

and only xbox 360's fan boy find's this game overated

How can a game that just won game of the year be overrated?

Uncharted 2 was by far the best game out this past year and anyone who disagrees is for sure retarded

uncharted 2 is pretty good but i think is highly overrated extremely overrated

Like Uncharted 2 needed to be more overrated, then this happens.

Yea Uncharted 2 FTW! Lol look at Gabe Newells' Picture- He seems so happy with himself- what a kn**b for and publically hating on the Ps3 when left4dead2 was released last year and saying PS3 was going to fail- Who cares for Left4dead now? We got Uncharted 2 & God of War 3 & Demons souls - so stick that up ur pipe chubby cheeks!

Uncharted 2 is one of the finest games I own. It is a solid masterpiece in everything.

this year, red dead redemtion will rock just like its step brother gta4

I hope someday Uncharted 2 comes to Xbox 360... Nearly impossible, for the moment I just applausse!!!

just finished the game.. damn! that's one awesome game.. to all haters out there, sorry but you can't change the fact that uncharted 2 is one of the best games of all time..

Good to see SOMEONE got the Game of the Year right *cough GameSpot cough*.

Uncharted 2 will be a memorable game remembered for years.

uncharted 2 is a heck of a game and it deserves to get credit

Nice to see Demons Souls there.Man,this game is killing and rocks. An yes,Unchartered 2 deserves what it got as it is the best amongst the rest

uncharted has got most the GOTY awards (over multiple evernts) and its batman that announced game of the year edition? am i missing something?

yeah, uncharted 2 is pretty awesome.

I bought this game (used) just to throw it at a train. I still only give it 2 stars FAILURES!

Uncharted 1, 2 is one of the best action adventure games I have ever played,

How did Dragon Age: Origins not win Best Writing??? Seriously?

Dungeon Fighter Online lost to Farmville? *sigh*

The "Best Visual Art" GDC award is a total insult to the developers that have an outstanding talent to create truly artistic visuals. Uncharted 2 has the best technical graphics, and also has some great visual art, but it's far from being the best visual art of the year. But the most absurd pick is Modern Warfare 2. It has outstanding technical graphics, but the visual art is not even great. There were at least 10 games that deserved much more to be nominated for that category (Ex.: Muramasa, Brutal Legend, Trine, The Beatles: RB, Street Fighter IV, Batman: AA, etc...).

in an award show like this i wouldnt expect demons souls to win goty, but on reputable sites like gamespot and few others they gave credit where credit is due and that is realizing that demons souls is a brilliant and innovative game. it was my personal goty as well followed closely by uncharted 2

Gabe Newell/Valve are making their own OS. Thats what I think.

@DamnedApples: Tell me about it. Many games I play, and love, are panned by most critics. If a game had terrible graphics, terrible sound, yet was fun as heck to play, I would jump on it in an instant. Games aren't all about visuals and sound, and if something sticks in the mind of the critic, that's THEIR OPINION, NOT YOURS. Yes, it does contribute to the experience, but... oh well. I'm done.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside story wasn't even a nominee for best handheld game?

Yay finally Uncharted gets the credit that it sorely deserves.

@ DamnedApples Finally someone understand this! Games are not just about great visual or story: it's just about having fun! A game with the best visual of all time, with the greatest story ever made isn't worth anything if you don't have any fun with it! Anyway, it's just a matter of taste!

The original Uncharted is just as good as Uncharted 2, but the media was too busy taking M$ checks to be honest about things... huh welll not much has changed.

How did Shadow Complex not win?

On another note uncharted 2 was the greatest game ive played in years

Gabe newell just sits on his fatass and eats. Releasing the unimportant games constantly and ignoring hl2ep3

uncharted 2 is a great game, should play it if you havent already.

@clqtte your avatar absolutely terrifies me.

Uncharted 2 is incredible........

I COULD go on a rant about how the simple enjoyment gaming has been raped and butchered by self-anointed "experts" and the self-declared "hardcore gamer" (whatever the hell that means), but I've largely moved most of my rants to TheEscapist, since they seem to fall on deaf ears here. However, after a brief glance at these message boards, it seems little ever changes. People take the judgments of the "experts" as infallible, so long as they reaffirm their favorite titles, 'hardcore gamers" tend to refer to everybody who plays games simply for fun in a condescending manner, and young boys and girls who only got one console for their birthday vent their rage on the console they didn't get and its users. I'm going to say this for the last time. Your gaming experience is subjective to you--no critic, "expert", "hardcore gamer" can change that FACT. Games are about having fun. I happen to be an artist myself (drawing, painting--oils, acrylics, pastels, etc...), so I respect artistic expression as much or maybe more than the next guy. When a game blends art and entertainment very well (eg. Okami) then that is fine, but the primary merit of a game is how much fun YOU had playing it. Is LoTR: Conquest a very well-designed game? No. Was it fun to play it w/ some 4-player split-screen on New Year's Eve? Yup. But yeah, I won't waste anymore of your time and belabor the point. Thanks and Good day.

I'm glad to see that Uncharted 2 cleaned house at the awards. It was clearly the best game released last year (um, unless you listen to GameSpot, who thought Demon's Souls was). I'm surprised it also didn't win Best Game Design, but I guess Uncharted 2 couldn't have won every major award. At least it didn't win the Innovation award. Also, I bow before the greatness of John Carmack and Gabe Newell, for whom gaming owes a great debt.

PS3 is really dominating all of gaming. About time... loving FF13, and soon GOW3. Gaming might still have some life in it thanks to Sony.

lol uncharted 2 "innovative" what the heck is it doing there????

Uncharted 2 was a great game, glad to see it win

the uncharted series so far is the one to beat for overall experence on a next gen console, but i'm mad at naughty dog. I really want a true jak sequel that doesn't feel tacked on but for me the series ended very well on ps2 with part 3. i don't want them to milk this just for the sake of the almighty dollar. *sigh* :>\ what to do...

@rp108 maybe because the PS3 has a large variety of exclusive games to choose from? Hmm, I guess sales don't mean much. Even more because MW2 and Halo 3 are Xbox 360's only good selling games in America only. It does poorly everywhere else O:

I got Uncharted 2 a few months ago, and it's awesome, anyone with a PS3 should get this game, really !!!

Wonder why it didn't sell so well.

I've been playing games for 27 years and Uncharted 2 was right up there with my all time greats. The first song at the menu screen, I have to listen to completely through before I start playing the game. I love it.

Gabe Newell won Game Pioneer awards... That is surprising, consider that his game always stick on PC or 360 (which also use the PC architecture)

Uncharted 2 best audio? come on!. also Innovation should have gone to "Demon's Soul". Its hard to pick a so burnt genre as medieval RPG and do something so fresh and diferent
