this is pretty obvious...I mean at least to me. Uncharted 2 blew away everything else that came out this year, if not this gen. Well deserved...now the real question is...

How will ND possibly top it?

Really? I would say every one of those games is better than Scribblenauts (although I haven't really played PSP's LittleBigPlanet and am just assuming it is like the PS3s)

Other than that and Brutal Legend winning strategy everything else looks good.

Congrats Naughty Dog. Easily the best PS3 game i've played this gen. In the interest of being fair, Mass Effect 2 better rape these awards next year. :p

Glad that my two favorite games of the last year, Batman and Uncharted 2 got well deserved awards. Didn't expect Uncharted 2 to clean up that much, but it is well deserved and one of the best games I have played in years.

It was during the split-second that I was hanging in the air jumping from one truck to another that it suddenly struck me that Uncharted 2 is perfect, it's so much better than all competing 3rd person shooters. The only thing I can think of that they can do to improve it would be to add more opportunities for optional stealth.

Well deserved for Uncharted 2. Props to Naughty Dog for making a game that my wife actually enjoyed watching me play.

That was a first.

Brutal Legend is a lot of things, but the RTS portions are more or less terrible by every objective standard.

You never played Pikmin or Little King's Story did you? It's an excellent addition to that subgenre.

Has anyone seen the new boxes for Uncharted 2 in the US? It's nothing but text with quotes on how great the game is and how it scored 25 perfect review scores, etc, etc. :lol

Love the game but wow the box is horrible now.

No but it's the original Uncharted 2 box art, but now covered in text with how great it is, awards it's won and review scores.

Game must be selling well though, Best Buy had TONS of copies with this new box art and none of the old style left.

This is why I reverse most covers that have inside art. The inside art is usually better than the cover art anyway.

I agree with the list overall but Music should've gone to Assassins Creed II and these people have no clue about portable/handheld games. I'm also surprised that Mario didn't win the award for best Family Game.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Congrats Naughty Dog!!

Batman was pretty good. I think part of it could have been shock that it came from that license in particular though.

Batman wasn't overrated in my opinion. MW2 was.
