It did seem that way at first.
However, it quickly lost that charm after the game became too ridiculously over the top that it was hard to take it seriously in the same vein as Indy and the original Uncharted. Complete recovery from a bullet wound in three days, without any modern medicine? Sure.
With the exception of the silly bullet healing, I fail to see how anything in the game qualifies as "too ridiculously over the top" considering what it is (especially if you don't think the original was).
Now Modern Warfare 2? THAT is over the top.

Kind hard to put a finger on it, exactly. It just seemed that something was constantly falling dramatically and nearly knocking him off an abyss. It just seemed like they were trying to get the player to say "Holy Crap!!" every thirty seconds at the expense of everything. The main effect was that Drake lost the everyman charm that made him much more likeable in the first game.

They you must have a really bad PC because on full setting DA looks quite impressive.

I'm running DA on max settings and I wouldn't call it impressive. Characters and related items are very well done, yes, most of the effects look good (except water), but there is a great degree of inconsistency in terms of environmental objects, with some textures being horribly low-res, and world/architecture tileset models are relatively low poly and thus angular for what you'd expect these days. And then there's the occasional slip-up, such as ground tile textures not matching up.
That said, I wouldn't call it ugly either, I appreciate its visual presentation for the most part and I will say it sometimes achieves some very lovely compositions.

I don't understand the hype around Uncharted 2. It doesn't look that special, terribly overrated. I can think of better games that acutally deserve those awards.
Koki? That you? When'dja get the Austraylian accent, mate?
Uncharted 2 only knocks just about everything else made this year down in terms of, oh, everything. Except for maybe innovation; but when a game sets about refining the action-adventure template and, in the process, singlehandedly sets a benchmark for the entire genre, I think people can afford to give it a little slack.
So let me put this across in very succinct terms: this game is so fucking awesome it's like having multiple orgasms.
And my tongue actually isn't in my cheek when I say that.
so play it and then feel free to opine you spaz

The forest levels in Dragon Age are laughably bad graphically. I mean, worse than NWN2 bad.
