Uncharted 2 named Game of the Year by website

Naughty Dog's critically-acclaimed action title Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has added another Game of the Year title to its growing collection.

The PlayStation 3 adventure sequel was voted the best game of 2009 by readers of GameSpot UK, a poll which saw more than 150,000 British voters register their opinion.

Uncharted 2, which follows the further globetrotting exploits of maverick treasure hunter Nathan Drake, was previously named the year's best at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards.

Guy Cocker, editor of GameSpot UK, said the critical and popular acclaim for the title was a testament to its quality.

He said: "We scored the game 9.5 on the back of its cinematic presentation, thrilling story and incredible action - qualities our users obviously appreciated as well."

Uncharted 2's victory meant that BioWare's acclaimed fantasy epic Dragon Age: Origins, which was released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, had to settle for second place.
