Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

'Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' was the PS 3 title I was most looking forward to this year. The original Uncharted game is still one of the best titles on the PS3, despite being 2 years old. Developer, Naughty Dog, said the original only used 30% of the PS3's capabilities and that the sequel will use closer to 100% and more impressively, all of the capacity of a Blu-Ray disc. It has to be said this was no false claim. This game is visually stunning and the graphics are so much more realistic. This is in every way, from the characters to the explosions, but especially the backgrounds, particularly the snow covered landscapes. If you haven't ...  Read the complete review

The first game was a fantastic introduction to PS3 for many people, and this is more of the same, even surpassing the original in many ways. The storyline is great, the graphics are some of the best and it will last a long time with the combination of both online and offline. The storyline is fantastic, action packed keeping you on the edge on your seat. It's gripping with some great cut-scenes that will bring out lots of emotions, including laughter and tears. It's compelling and well-written, with lots of well developed characters that everyone can enjoy. The gameplay is also brilliant, with a great combination of things that everyone will ...  Read the complete review

Having joined a barely conscious and badly wounded Nate Drake on a shattered train surrounded by frozen mountaintops, you are at once involved in and confused by Uncharted's story. That is, you are for the split second it takes for the carriage to slide off the edge of a previously unseen sheer drop, leaving you dangling perilously above an icy abyss, the fragile coupling your only separation from certain death. The fall sends Nate ricocheting down the now vertical vessel, with only a desperate one-armed lunge saving his skin at the last (note: get used to this). Cinematics then segue into gameplay, in an instant flipping your role from intrigued onlooker to ...  Read the complete review

To be honest I didnt even know that there was going to be an uncharted 2 until one day my friend called me up and told me that beta codes were being released for this game. Unfortunatley we didnt get our hands on the beta codes, but we waited a couple of days for the game to come out on the PSN store and what a wait that was. Before I fully review the product I have to say that it took time to get used to the game, its very unusual to play 3rd person shooters without the whole conecpt of auto-aim. After playing this game many times after the PSN release I got the hang of the game and it became really addictive. The original game was of course amazing and was ...  Read the complete review

Naughty Dog have been developing for the Playstation brand exclusively for many years now. They gave us the original Crash Bandicoot titles on the Playstation One, the Jak and Daxter trilogy on the Playstation 2 and now on the Playstation 3 they give us Uncharted. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune hit the shelves with little fanfair in 2007 but soon swept up gamers and offered one of the first truly stellar titles on Sony's latest console. A balance of excellent action and puzzle based gameplay, gorgeous visuals and excellent, cinematic storylines drew gamers in and the sequel was announced for release this year. Expectations have been higher for Uncharted 2 than any ...  Read the complete review
