This came as no surprise really, 777 of you voted in our weekly poll (winning numbers by the way) and approximately 598 voted Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Game Of The Year 2009. Call of Duty: Modern warfare 2 came in a distant second securing 9 percent, the equivalent of 74 votes. The hype surrounding Uncharted 2 is not unwarranted, since the demo was shown at E3, demand for Naughty Dogs latest effort have reached fever pitch levels. For some, October 13th or 16, depending on what part of the world you live in can't come soon enough. We understand.

Many great games are coming out for the holidays, and most people won't have the money to purchase all. We're just out of a worldwide recession, and consumers are wisely making decisions on what packs the most value for their buck, a sentiment I totally agree with. For gamers it's no different, there's only so much cash to spend on games, after all, there's life apart from gaming; some got wives, girlfriends, children, co-workers, you get my point. I know I'd be in the doghouse if instead of getting my wife a gift, I went out and purchase games; There are people in our lives that we must spend time and money on in order to keep relationships relevant. Here's the question: If you were to purchase one game this Holiday season, what would it be? This should be interesting. If you asked me, there's no doubt it would be Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, but that's me. Let your "vote" be heard.
