Really good game and it's being supported pretty well. Friday(yesterday), Naughty Dog(the developer) added free DLC w/ a new map and some minor tweaks.

Very good single player game, awesome graphics and really fun multiplayer game.

On sale right now for $40:

Great game....just about the only one I play on PS3. Although, that will change once GOD OF WAR 3 comes out.

I haven't tried the multiplayer, but the single player is awesome.

Playing some Uncharted 2 online right now if anyone wants to join in.

Uncharted isn't that BIG name game and people don't understand how good the game is....Online is fun also.

What is the online like? I'm interested because I have 1 PS3 and would like to have another. Never played the first. May be something I ask for as a gift.

The online is pretty beefy and well done. The single player is very good as well. The knock on the first game was that it was too short and it didn't have multiplayer......that is not a problem with this one.

Hell no it's not... The single player on this game was very well done and the story moved along quite well...

I haven't played much of the online YET, because I have too many damn games to play right now.. But when I was playing the single player of this game, I couldn't put it down!

I have not played this game.

I'm playing Assassins Creed 2 right now and I have to say its one of the best games I've ever played.

This game alone makes me want to go buy a ps3. Also for fps fans check out battlefield bad company 2... Looks amazing and should blow mw2 outta the water. The first bad company was sick as hell

No offense to Uncharted 2 but it wasn't exactly a bang-up year for gaming.

Uncharted 2 didn't sell 2+ million copies in the 1st week like Halo, but I think Uncharted 2 will have great staying power. There are no other games in the same genre nor any game in any genre can compete with the game. The word of mouth has been ecstatic, and it's critically acclaimed. Also, Sony is actually putting out good commercials to push this game. The 2nd week drop-off of sales of Uncharted 2 will be very telling on how this game will do overall. I think this game can get to where MGS4 and Modern Warfare went for the PS3: about mid 4 million sales.

lol... How clueless... Just to name SOME..

Uncharted 2
Demon's Souls
MW2
Resident Evil 5
Killzone 2
Assassins Creed 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Street Fighter IV
Forza Motorsports 3
Rathcet & Clank Future: A crack in time
Guitar Hero 5
Band Hero
DJ Hero
New Super Mario Bros.
Madworld
Borderlands
Dragon Age: Origins

And save the "Well I don't like those games" comments, because these were ALL critically acclaimed games.

Just because you stick to MW2 doesn't mean there aren't other great games out there..

I'll give you Resident Evil, Assasins Creed 2, Left 4 Dead, Killzone, and the music games, but besides those most of them aren't HUGE blockbuster titles. I personally thought Forza was the best game of the year, but its for a very limited audience, sim racing games aren't that popular. All of those games are very good titles, but not on the level of a MW, Halo 3, Uncharted 2, etc.

That entire list are all blockbuster titles, IMO. Highly reviewed, a ton of units sold...

Assassin's Creed 2 has sold 6 million to Halo ODSTs 4.5 million (granted ACII is multiplatform).

I think selling 1-2 million + and being critically acclaimed would make a game a blockbuster title.

Another I thought of = Batman:Arkham Asylum.
