FANBOYS/GIRLS please do not flame or start a mini-war here, OK?
Ah, yes the sidebar, I'm a 19 year old muslim gamer from the eternal place of sunshine(yeah,right) Manchester, England. I've been gaming since I was six and probably spent more hours gaming than doing anything else my enitre life, being the proud owner of a launch day playstation. Though owning only a PS3, I love my mate's 360 and if XBL ever becomes free, I'll pick a 360 up, until then, I'm doing fine with my PS3. Despite the hardcore gaming, I work out, eat healthily and have a thing for fashion and believe a man should always look good, stay clean, and stay in shape. So I'm most definitely not your stereotypical gamer. I try to be as chilled, nice and laid back as possible, I'm up for serious discussion, but not of 'TEH C0NS0LE WARZ, YO!!' type. There are much more important things in life than humping a piece of technology, or hating someone, hating anything, anyone without just reasoning, just fucking sucks in my opinion, seeing as I'm an optimist.
I'm also a film-lover of all genres, all languages. I love to read and listen to most types of music, whatever makes me feel happy. Be it Alternative, Hip-Hop, Rap, R 'N' B, Dance, House, Techno, Acid Jazz, Jazz, Electronica, J-Pop, J-Rock, Punk, Funk, or the phenomenal, ageless soundtrack of Tekken 3, I'll listen to the songs over and over again. Finally, I'm currently studying Television and Radio Production at Salford university and making firm steps to, hopefully, become one of the best film directors in the world, srsly. Thanks for reading this, and have a kick-ass day.

I haven't played either game yet... if I did pick up a copy would you recommend UC1 first?... or just pick up the second?
If your DA:O addiction stops any time soon ;) (great frontpage article, BTW) Then I fully recommend getting UC1 first. Simply because not only is it a great game, not only is it now dirt cheap to get, but it introduces you fantastically to nathan drake.
He is one of the very, very few characters I adore playing as, as he is an 'normal' human being, and more importantly, not a dick-hole of a man, which seems to be the vast majority of male leads in videogames. As a male, I can sympathize with his seriously unfortunate luck in both games, something that I don't do with other video game male leads. The story is excellent to boot as well.
Do yourself a favour (and a late Christmas present) and get UC1, and enjoy the hell out of it. After that is done, get UC2 straight after if you like, or wait till you get time to enjoy it fully, it is definitely NOT a game to be rushed.
Hope this helps. :)
I log on Uncharted 2, and sometimes it takes up to ten minutes to get into a game, and only a few thousand people are on. I boot up MW2, it takes 10 seconds, and there's always 100,000 on at all times.
Glad you're back dude. You've got a lot catching up to do! Uncharted 2 is indeed amazing. It's a never ending roller coaster ride from start to finish. I don't know how far you're into the game but I can safely say you ain't seen nothing yet! Enjoy the hell out of it!

I would also recommend playing Uncharted 1 first. Not really because of the stories following each other up but mostly because the first Uncharted was an amazing game as well. And still is. It's nice to see what Naughty Dog has done with Uncharted 2. The first was amazing, the second is even more amazing.
@Magnalon
No shit. Of course it is. What does that mean? Nothing. Uncharted 2 is all about the single player. The multi-player is an extra. MW2 is the other way around. You're comparing and action adventure game with a First Person Shooter. It wouldn't make sense it there were more people playing Uncharted 2 online than MW2.
Definitely my GOTD. And no, that's not a typo, I meant game of the decade.
i tried it out and ended getting really into it.

Also why have you not signed up to Dtoid UK dude? You need to come hang out with us!
It's no wonder you're pissing on me based on a fact: that's your MO!
Did I say Uncharted 2 sucked? Nope! I'm simply pointing out that I'm sad that I have to wait (sometimes a long ass time) to play a game.
Lovin' that unfettered undying Magnalon out of context hate!
I actually got a PS3 fairly recently, and I'm definitely happy I made sure to play Drake's Fortune first. It's a pretty solid game, with great visuals and writing. It's not perfect, and in fact the flaws can be rather noticeable, but that's the beauty of it: Every complaint one could have about the first game is fixed in the second, and everything it did right is made better.
You could skip the first, as the story isn't that relevant to the sequel, but there are certainly some shout-outs, and you'll ultimately get more out of it by playing both.
The only thing out of context is comparing MW2's online with Uncharted 2 in this blog. I just thought your comment was kind of weird and unfair.
I'm certainly not pissing on you. Why didn't you just say "I'm sad that I have to wait (sometimes a long ass time) to play a game." like you said in your second comment? That's a lot clearer than comparing it with MW2.
I never said you said it sucked. Where does that come from? Seriously dude, you need to lighten up. If you criticize something you can expect somebody to react. In this case it was me that said something (and Pappadukes but you must not have seen that or you just love me so much that you only read my comments).
I need to work on wording my comments better sometimes, regardless.
