I said it's maybe the best game this gen, among other gems like Modern Warfare 1, Mirrors Edge.
EDIT: Also, Lager. I prefer Alan Wake, but to each his own as i don't care enough to compare two games that aren't similar in anyway other than being third person and involving the shooty shoot.
Come on, this and Alan Wake are very close to each other in what they try to be. The difference is that TLOU is more cohesive and has better gameplay then Alan Wake. Alan Wake's shooting is crappy and the combat repetitve, in TLOU there are always options in each encounter.
Alan Wake pulls of amazing settings and spooky atmosphere for sure, and this is an area where it's almost as tight as TLOU and I loved the game for it.
<Lager> finished a Sony brand game today, best game ever

It's a solid game, probably an 8.5 or whatever. I hate on it because people want to make it something it's not.
I don't get all the "game of the generation" comments. I really don't. I haven't finished it myself because frankly I got kind of bored of it. The game has that Doom 3 "Monster Closet" design thing going on. Walk walk walk cut scene walk walk walk enemies in small area walk walk walk more enemies walk enemies walk walk walk cut scene repeat. I realize that this is so many games but for some reason it just stood out to me TLoU. Maybe it was all the hype that did it. I guess I really should go back and finish it already now that the hype is gone and I know what to expect. If we're comparing similar types of games this year, I liked Tomb Raider a hell of a lot more.
I also enjoyed the multiplayer in Uncharted 2/3, but TLoU's multi didn't grab me either.
Tomb Raider was pretty damn good too, def agree on that. One of the better shooter/adventures games of the gen for sure.
How far did you get in TLOU? There is a scene in the later part of the game that made me compare it to TR, but it was much more impactful in TLOU.
