Gamers vote as Future's Official PlayStation Magazine celebrates 50th issue

UK PlayStation gamers have named Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves as the greatest Sony PlayStation game ever ? narrowly beating the classic Metal Gear Solid to the top-spot.

The poll was carried out to jointly celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first Sony PlayStation console in the UK and the 50th issue of Future's Official PlayStation Magazine.

The US developed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves went on sale in late 2009 for the PlayStation 3 console and was awarded 10/10 in Official PlayStation Magazine. In the poll of gamers, it beat Metal Gear Solid, Konami's 1998 PlayStation title and Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII top the honour, in a poll which saw thousands of votes cast.

Official PlayStation Magazine's Greatest PlayStation Games Ever

1 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

2 Metal Gear Solid

3 Final Fantasy VII

4 Grand Theft Auto Vice City

5 Metal Gear Solid 4

6 Metal Gear Solid 3

7 Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

8 Shadow Of The Colossus

9 Red Dead Redemption

10 Resident Evil IV

The poll recognises the very best games of the last decade and a half of PlayStation gaming, across the three generations of console, with two Rockstar Games titles, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Red Dead Redemption making the list. While Konami's Metal Gear Solid missed out in the top spot, the gaming series was singled out for praise by fans, with three of the games appearing in the top 10.

Ben Wilson, Editor of Official PlayStation Magazine, said:

"Since it came out in late 2009 we've maintained that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the best game not just on PS3 but every console around, so it was little surprise to see our readers vote it the number one PlayStation game of all time. It has everything you could want from an action-adventure, and then some: An engaging story full of cinematic twists, a charismatic and funny lead character, brilliant voice acting, masses of clever gameplay ideas, and a host of strong multiplayer modes. It's the complete videogame, and much deserving of the top spot."

The full top 50 rundown of the Greatest PlayStation Games Ever is in issue 50 of OfficialPlayStation Magazine, on sale now across the UK, with a coverprice of ?5.99.

I'll agree with this... I don't play many PS3 games (Uncharted 2) is the only one I beat so I can say I am def not an expert. I think Uncharted 2 had a great story, great gameplay and looked great. My only complaint was the controls but I adapted to them quickly...

Even though huge fan of final fantasy series, surprised it's #3 (expect it to be lower).

Opps thought they were talking about XII for some reason, not VII.

Pretty much a list that makes me proud to be a gamer :) So much awesome talent put into games. Shame my wee beauty Silent Hill 2 was so low down the list, but at least it made it in!

Agreed, Uncharted 2 sucks so ****ing badly, how can that pile of rotating ###### win anything.

Uncharted 2 looks better when playing it OnLive.

Shouldn't this list feature games that aren't multi-platform?

I mean CoD4 is that high up the list! :blink:

It was on a Playstation console, no?

Haze was robbed.
