#5. UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES

When it comes to cinematic third person action-adventure games, Uncharted remains the blueprint for the industry at large, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was responsible for putting that blueprint together. A rollercoaster ride from its first second to its last, Naughty Dog’s 2009 masterpiece delivered a glut of masterfully crafted set-pieces and action sequences, and delivered them with the most perfect pacing imaginable. Not often do we call games that released in the PS3/Xbox 360 era “timeless”, but Uncharted 2 certainly fits that description.
