Uncharted Part 2

One could say the console wars almost destroyed the storytelling aspect of videogames. When Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 were released, each of the companies had begun to make games like normal. However, after Uncharted the game changed. Which was why its second game was nearly buried down at the bottom of the newly created category, Exclusives. Xbox realized that if they shoved out enough exclusives into the market they would overshadow Playstation itself. What seemed most popular at the time was first person shooters. As first person cluttered the market, Xbox realized that the more violent the games got and the better the graphics, the more money they made. It was around the time that Uncharted 2 came out that games like Grand Theft Auto were popular and big guns, explosions, sex, and outright violence of any kind could sell literally anything if the graphics were good. But despite this Uncharted 2 was still one of the big games of 2009 that got the most attention, simply for its amazing announcement months previous that highlighted an amazing cinematic that was action packed. It was although the story which was talked about and theorized the most. Although it was talked about, after some time it did fall under the radar after Xbox released more Halo games.
