I think that once he was attached to a video game project - especially one of the same genre (and even sub-genre) - it was poor form professionally to make such a comment. And even if we accept that he had to have his opinion heard, he did so in a very rude manner.

@xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Everyone has the right to call a game overrated - that's subjective, but Uncharted 2 "worse" than Uncharted 1?
