Uncharted 2 Game of the year?

I recently read in a magazine that Uncharted 2 has been anounced as game of the year!How is that?dont get me wrong both of the Uncharted games have been verry "good" but not amazing or brilliant or anything like that!
I wonder if the people that rated this game played Assasins creed 2 or heavy rain or metal gear solid this year?
If so i think they would have had a different opinion!
