PS3 Video Game Awards Without Uncharted 2

January 4th, 2010 | By Desz

Uncharted 2 won many awards in 2009, including the much deserved award of all awards “Game of the Year” award. But what if Uncharted 2 didn’t come out in 2009? Would the 2009 Video Game of the Year Award be remembered as the toughest award to decide for? We all know that Uncharted 2 completely dominated 2009, and let’s face it, every great game released in 2009 was completely over shadowed by Uncharted 2; and of course MW2 sales. This had to be the year, of the most sleeper titles thanks to those two titles. But 2009 was indeed packed with amazing GOTY contenders. In fact, 2009 would have been a crazy year without Uncharted 2. The following 2009 PS3 games picked by TQ staff have all the elements to be considered for,”Game of the Year”. (more…)

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves 2009 Game of E3

June 6th, 2009 | By Desz

Three heavy weight games stood out from the rest this E3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, God of War 3 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. But what made Uncharted 2 the game of not only E3, but of possibly the year? At E3 Sony, had all three game types on display and 2 of those game types were available for hands on gaming; multiplayer and co-op. For starters, the graphics on the videos below do not do the game any justice; it is the best looking video game this generation. Second, the multiplayer is lots of fun, and will keep gamers coming back for more and more. Co-op was a great addition as well, which not only felt like a true complete game, but a well supported game with lots of game type options to make the game worth the money. Never the less, according to Naughty Dog, the game still has some finishing touches and fixes in the works. E3 definitely delivered great games this year, and 2009 and 2010 will only be bigger years for the industry. A close race to the finish, but Uncharted 2: Among Thieves beats the competition this year.

And to celebrate our E3 winner, we will be giving away two Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta codes. Simply leave a comment below with your best Nathan Drake line. Two people will randomly get selected.
