Eurogamer's Game of the Year 2009

12 months have passed since we crowned LittleBigPlanet our writers' game of 2008, and as your mousewheel has no doubt just informed you, Sony has made it two in a row. Having compiled votes and considered pleas from over a dozen staff and contributors, we can reveal that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is Eurogamer's Game of the Year for 2009.

Thanks Naughty Dog.

Thanks Sony.

PS:
(Sorry Snake(MGS4), Drake(U2) is now my #1.) :P

Does anyone else find some of the editors' criticism ridiculous? Age-old mechanics? Are you serious?

sikbeta5266d ago

UC2 is Amazing, but I'm a MGS Fanboy so Nate and Solid will share the #1

PS3 FTW!!!

Saaking5266d ago

I'm surprised they gave it GOTY. After all, they're amongst the most bias websites out there. Still, they gave UC2 a 10/10 as well right? It was only obvious which game would win. UC2 really has no competition this year.

gaffyh5266d ago

Uncharted 2, buying a PS3 at launch was worth it for this game alone. Still though, I wish inFAMOUS won some awards, that game is amazing, my top 3 games this gen are probably Uncharted 2, MGS4 and inFAMOUS. Not sure how I'd order them though.

FamilyGuy5266d ago

InFamous, though repetitive, was an INCREDIBLE game and I wish it would get more recognition as such. It's really kid-in-a-candy-store type fun, you can do whatever you want, blowup as much sh!t as you want and there's no slowdown and it all looks beautiful.

Don't be pathetic. Eurogamer is one of the best sites around.

naughty dog truly need to wrangle out a huge pay rise with sony

Eric Cartman5266d ago

Dave, don't forget it's Sony's money they are spending on these big budget games in the first place.

It's not just ND that deserves praise (and a raise), but GG as well. Killzone 2 is a masterpiece too.

Kudos to Sony for giving these awesome devs lots of money and time to bring us these marvels.

umair_s515266d ago

Yes thumbs up to Sony and Naughty Dogs

Troll_Police5266d ago

Uncharted 2 is an unstoppable force that can't be denied. It's winning ALL of the GOTY awards from just about ALL sites and mags. No game has ever won this many GOTY awards. Great job Naughty Dog and Sony. You both deserve it.

'All the same, Simon and Kristan's criticisms elsewhere today are all valid. The mechanics are old-fashioned - flashing hidden treasure, for goodness' sake, and clumsy and shallow combat - and at times it's second only to Ubisoft's flawed but well-intentioned 2008 Prince of Persia in holding your hand through grand platform puzzles, which you just as frequently ride along with as solve.'

Old-fashioned and your example is that the tressure flashes... stuff flashes on MW2 infact I promise you it's be hard pressed to find a game that doesn't draw your attention. Clumsy and shallow combat. What is he smoking.

The gunplay is for lack of a better word PERFECT as is the hand to hand. Having completed Gears 2 and Uncharted 2 the winner in my mind is Uncharted 2 for combat because your enemies go down quickly.

I honestly don't think there's been one site that hasn't given GOTY to UC2. Well, Gamespot gave demons souls GOTY.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 16h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
