While the studio behind Duke Nukem has ceased development efforts due to a lack of funding, its founders are still eying the competition. 3D Realms president George Broussard was so impressed with the single player experience of Uncharted 2 that he’s gone and compared it – quite favorably to say the least – to that of the Half Life franchise.

Amazing single player experiences, nearly, if not, on par with Half-Life 1/2. I haven’t felt this giddy over a game series since Half-Life. This is epic badassery right here. Believe the hype.

The praise doesn’t end there. Broussard further proclaims that the title is Game of the Year material, making it a contender for the best action game ever in his book. Those sure are some choice words.

With such glowing reviews from critics, it sounds like Uncharted 2 is shaping up to be a must-buy for any PS3 owner, just like the original before it. Naughty Dog has crafted another hit that will no doubt stand the test of time.
