Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is 2009’s Game of the Year
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves won Game of the Year (in addition to Best PS3 Game and Best Graphics, might we add) at this year’s VGA, held on Friday night last week. Were we surprised? Not in the slightest. The game is, in all respects, absolutely superb.
It was no walk in the park, mind you. Naughty Dog’s third-person action epic was up against some of the most talked-about titles in PlayStation history: Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 2, Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Infinity Ward’s magnificent Modern Warfare 2 were all nominated for the prestigious award - and each stood a good chance of winning it, too.
So congratulations Naughty Dog! Now, if you haven’t yet laid your hands on a copy of Nathan Drake’s latest adventure, you need to do one of two things: either 1) read this, or 2) arrange a consultation with a reputable psychologist at the earliest convenience. Call us biased, but we recommend option 1).

By vote. Funny it’s Game of the Year, when no one is buying it.

After first month of release, it vanished from the top 20. Even Halo 3: ODST, a “glorified $60 expansion pack”, is still in the top 20 every week for the past 3 months.
Superb – totally agree.
Great game, I agree with the choice.
Awards should have nothing to do with sales anyway. Just look at any top 10 charts, would they represent the best music?
I don’t think so
I totally agree, it is a great game, amazing graphics, story and gameplay. It deserves to win the game of the year although there were many godd games like asassin’s creed 2 and mw2
