Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)

Many moons ago I wrote an article about the great 360 game 'Gears of War' and suggested that it was a turning point in the consoles lifespan opening up true next generation gaming. For the past few weeks I have been looking forward to doing something similar with a game on my new Playstation 3 (PS3). However, try as I might I was unable to find a truly classic game on the console. Third party game like 'Call of Duty 4' have been purchased on my 360 as I have more friends so it is up to the first party games by Sony to shine. Unfortunately the likes of 'Lair', 'Heavenly Sword' and 'Resistance' all felt very average to me. Praise be then for Naughty Dog, they of Crash ...  Read the complete review

an absolutely fantastic game, perfect for a christmas release. somewhat similar to the acclaimed tomb raider series but also in many ways different. you see yourself exploring ancient ruins as you follow sir francis drakes footsteps in a desperate attempt to discover the city of gold hidden somewhere in mexico. along the way however you encounter the usual suspects working for rival mercenary firms who have decided theyd rather get their mits on the nifty treasure first. as you progress it soon becomes clear theres something more sinister than first appeared giving the game a slightly supernatural twist, but not too much to make it ...  Read the complete review

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is in my list of the best ever Playstation 3 games. It is everything that Tomb Raider is with loads of better features, times 10! You play as a character called Nathan, a treasure hunter in search of Sir Francis Drake's hidden treasure. Uncharted is the adventure of a lifetime, full of challenging fire-fights, tricky puzzles and humorous cut scenes. Uncharted is a Third Person Shooter (TPS). It uses the standard 'L1 Aim', 'R1 Shoot' control layout, making for smooth run-and-gun game-play. The controls are brilliant, with very few, if any at all, glitches or faults. There are a variety of weapons available throughout the ...  Read the complete review

Naughty dog are at it again, making amazing games that is! From their day's of the amazing Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog don't seem to have lost the ability to make an amazing game. This game was released when the PS3's library of games was somewhat lacking, so when I picked up the game, I wasn't expecting much, but I was in for a big surprise! Uncharted revolves around a rather predictable storyline (although it doesn't take away from the game). Nathan Drake,a sort of self employed adventurer type, and a descendant of Sir Francis Drake himself goes in search of Drake's lost treasure with his pal Sully and a pushy reporter slash documentary maker ...  Read the complete review
