4) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – PlayStation 3

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves did more than just improve on the original game. The sequel was a revelation when it debuted in 2009, stunning the industry with its astounding cinematic value, console defining visuals and movie quality script. Delivering a production value that had never been seen before, it’s largely credited for redefining what was thought was possible from the medium, bridging the cinematic gap between film and video games.
Uncharted 2 pioneered the video game set piece; interactive action sequences with a production value so slick it could have been ripped out a Hollywood movie. Gunplay was also much improved from its predecessor and the game’s platforming mechanics felt refined and intuitive. Uncharted 2 also introduced the series signature back and forth dialogue between characters during gameplay sequences; the witty script articulated perfectly by its all-star cast.
The Uncharted series is treasured by PlayStation gamers for its superlative quality, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves still remains many people’s favourite in the series, ultimately going down in history as one of PlayStation’s greatest games of all-time.
