I read some of the comments. It seems like some folks are very angry that it won GOTY there.

I would rather people say they didn't like it as much as everyone else rather than toss out the word overrated. That word is used far too much around here, just my two cents.

Anything, anyone likes on the internet is overrated. The internet is a place where everyone wants to go against the grain, yet ironically, since everyone is going against the grain, just the act of doing so makes you go with the grain.

You must admit that the game is a tad overrated. Great game, sure, but definitely is loved for its graphics and cinematic qualities instead of the gameplay and multiplayer.

So if he genuinely disagrees with the public opinion about Uncharted 2 that makes his opinion an "attempt to be cool/different"? How does him disagreeing with you and others make his opinion is casted aside but when someone praises the game they are not bashed because it fits the public opinion?

Your just making ignorant generalizations.

When people start spouting "Best gaem EvaR!!!!!!11" It's overrated, not to say it isn't an amazing game; the 9.5 is quite deserved and it deserves GOTY for 2009, but holding it up to some of the greatest that gaming has to offer is plain dumb and don't say it doesnt happen either, cause it does...Often.

The thing about the internet is the fact that anyone can pass biasness off as an opinion... A Game is Over-rated, sure tat can be an opinion but it can also be someone just trying to act like they are better than everyone else. With the internet you never know if it is someone's real opinion or not.

If a game wins GOTY doesn't that qualify it as one of the best games ever? Just wondering

Try because it lacked artistic personality. The thing plays like a National Treasure movie or a less original Indiana Jones. The narrative and gameplay are tight, but they are also straightforward and unfascinating; the fact that so many gamers worship this game illustrates perhaps everything that is wrong with gaming today - namely, lack of subtlety and originality. Uncharted 2 is perhaps the perfect action game; unfortunately that also means it is the least mysterious.

No, not at all, say in 1998, games like Starcraft, HL, MGS, OOT Baldur's Gate, RE2 all released, while all of them amazing games, only one can win GOTY, the others can't. Demon's Souls won GOTY on GS, while HL didn't, does that make Demon's Souls better than HL? Not a chance.

It is over-rated, and I am gonna get flamed by cows for this, does not really deserve 9.5 here. 9.0 is more feasible for the game or if GS had it's old system, 9.2-9.3 The GOTY should have been Assassin's Creed II. But of course this is all opinion (both my post and Kotaku's vote) and they will announce the GOTY next week I think

Yes, hilarious to see many other games getting hardly any deserved GOTY attention in '09 except for Uncharted 2. I'd go more with sad when any gamer could see the worthy contenders that came out last year as well (although not too many).

So Demon's Souls can't be classified as one of the best games ever because you think Half Life is a better game? The way i look at it is we have have opinions then we have professional reviewers opinions... Since we don't have factual evidence as to which games are considered better than others, critics reviews are the closest thing to facts we have to back up claims. Besides who said HL isn't one of the best games ever? Im just saying if a game wins GOTY it has its own spot in the Best Game Ever Category.

BTW I think Demon's Souls is a way better game than the Half Life series

I can't always agree with critics, while their opinions are nice, it's just hard to take them seriously sometimes, not to mention GOTY doesn't qualify a game as anything but the best game released that year, which was my point, I don't see any logic in saying that if a game wins GOTY it qualifies it as one of the best ever, that's me putting it nicely.

Mind explaining why or how it's overrated?

Ever heard of an opinion?? Yea, his is different from your opinion

All he did was make a claim with no explanation. Usually when I legitimately think a game is overrated, I point out it's flaws and make good points to why I think it is. I don't just blurt out claims like this guy did. If he thinks UC2 is overrated, it wont be hard for him to point out the game's many flaws since it's just oh so overrated. Since he didn't give any reasons to why the game is overrated, I have a hard time believing that he ever even beat the game, let alone played it.
