Worthy winner, best game on any console this generation.
I have both 1 & 2 sitting on my shelf unopened.
I played Uncharted 1 when it first came out. Unfortunately I lost my gamesave (and never got trophies) when I sold my PS3.
I want to play through Uncharted 1 again before playing Uncharted 2 ... but decided to play Mass Effect 2 instead. :D
Unchartered 2 is the shizzle, never played 1. For some reason I'm not even inclined to go get it, and usually I go get the originals to sequels that I like.

I just popped it in to show everyone it was a real game. Haven't actually unlocked any achievement on it yet.
I'll find some time to play it this weekend, and hopefully keep it at the top of my displayed games for a while to make everyone jealous. ;)

So it seems have the majority of 360 owners
Maybe so, the game looks bloody awful, so i'll pass.
it does look aweful and the animation is aweful and the sound, but it somehow is awesome at the same time .... like a bad movie that's so bad, it's good.
I agree its so craply made but so addictive. Whats not to like about killing giant ants
and robots, and spiders, and giant spaceships and smaller spaceships, and red ants, and flying ants and a big thing with 4 legs and a giant orb with FAR TOO MANY LASERS >_<
You've made it sound a hell of a lot better than it looks, rental maybe? :)
It is a lot of fun :D
nick it off TJ

I remember, because having finished it on easy and normal, the hard level was a bitch, and the lack of online multiplayer (big mistake) meant I couldn't get any help.
I still prefer L4D 1 & 2. Zombie shoot zombie shoot. Thats how I like my games ;D

They both pale in comparison to the sheer awesomeness and inventiveness of Capcom's masterpiece & Capcom don't shaft us all by releasing whats basically a full price add-on only a year after the first game, they like to wait 4 years before unleashing their new masterpiece :)

It used to be an old 2D SNES shmup. Although the 360 version is the 3rd game in the newer series starting with Monster Attack(PS2), Global Defense Force(PS2) and then Earth Defense Force 2017(360). Although all games are known as Chikyû Boueigun Surî (googled as i can never remember) in Japan.
Theres also a new Global Defense Force Tactics, that i only heard about 2 weeks ago that seems newer, but is obviously a tactics game. It might become the first PS2 game i've played in a good years time.
