The Naughty Dogs take U2 advertising to Europe, first stop UK

Gamesthirst writes: Sony Computer Entertainment know when they have a winner on their hands, and will stop at nothing to let the world know about it. In recent days, the Naughty Dog team took to the road and rallied across the states promoting their upcoming game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The tour, a collaboration with Best Buy was dubbed "The Best Buy Holiday Entertainment Kick-off." But the advertising didn't stop there, apparently the United States was just the beginning.

lol i wonder how the fanboys going to spin facts

[droid and bot]

all those awards
and its not even out

@eagle- Thats a tough call. If I recall IGN gave Fallout 3 GOTY even when GTA4 AND MGS4 got HIGHER SCORES. Id wait ta see what happens later on in the year cause I hear that Mass Effect 2 will be making an appearance in 2009.

Also, Id play the game first before jumping to GOTY. Many critics will deem it GOTY but it may not be YOUR or MY GOTY. Example: GTA4 got TENS across the board and recieved GOTY from most critics, yet many hardcore gamers thought it was crap after buying it.

LittleBigPlanet won AIAS GOTY. :)

I'm glad. Sony really needs to boost their marketing and it seems like they're starting to get the ball rolling in that department.

"@deadreckoning...The AIAS is the official industry GOTY award. :)
LittleBigPlanet won AIAS GOTY. :)"

Ummm...says who?? Ur saying that AIAS's opinion, is "better" than IGN, Gamespot, 1up, Gametrailers, Destructoid, Gamespy, Gamesradar? Or are u mentioning it because it gave it a PS3 exclusive GOTY? How do u have the ignorance to say that ONE opinion is better than all the rest?

If AIAS is ultimately "all that matters" why did you mention all those other critics in your first post? Ur contradicting yourself...

[cemelc]

Cos is added bonus to the real game of the year award???

[eagle21]

And if you think you can dispute the AIAS, you are sad. DEVELOPERS and the top industry professionals comprise the AIAS. Educate yourself:

Ignored by 41. 'nuff said.

[Tripl3seis]

this game is game of the year :)

[deadreckoning666]

"Cos is added bonus to the real game of the year award???"
So ONE opinion determines all..what is this friggin feudal system LOL.
Everyone has different opinions, I suggest concentrating on YOUR opinion after actually PLAYING the full game. How can you allow ONE criticism to determine your own likes and dislikes? Do you normally allow others to make decisions for you?

U guys can sit here and count awards all year if u like, ill be playing Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2 without caring what awards they get, cause Im a GAMER and I play for FUN. A game being GOTY won't affect my experience in the least.

[niceboy]

Yeah, I'd rather these authors use the game's full name, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, see how easy that was?

[firezone]

The game is great and deserves all the advertising Sony can pump into it...

[firezone]

the third installment will sell even better....

[PHIL1017]

uncharted 2 rocks!!!

[suhelparvez]
