Seriously, look at the visuals in both games. Uncharted has amazing animation and beautifully detailed environments. Alan Wake on the other hand looks like a Half-Life 2 mod but without the expressive characters. Just look at these two screens.
I mean, Uncharted looks so much livelier and vibrant it's not even funny. Alan wake looks dull and uninspired, and it doesn't look like it really has any particular tricks up it's sleeve that are going to turn anyone's head. And if you need an example of how Uncharted's animation trumps Alan Wake's without seeing them in motion, just look at the facial expressions on the characters! The hero in Uncharted shows a look of fear and determination that you'd expect to see, where as Alan Wake has a completely blank expression while the world around him goes to $@&*.
The animation in Alan Wake is downright bad, and the graphics themselves are nothing special. And yet this game for some reason appears on virtually every hype list you'll see posted here. Clearly though, from a visual standpoint at the very least, Uncharted owns it in almost every way imaginable.
