Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) Reviews

In 2007, a games studios called Naughty Dog created a masterpiece that both the critics and gamers a like agreed, it was simply a game you had to buy. As a console exclusive, the PS3, near the start of its journey, showed what wonderful things could be achieved. This game set a huge standard and still today, reigns tall in the history of ...  Read the complete review

OK. I first started playing this game after my friends had been begging me to do so for weeks. My initial thought were that it sound like Indiana Jones and would be a rubbish remake sort of thing. Wrong. I don't normally like shooter games, but this is one that I can really get on board with. The complex yet ...  Read the complete review

I could keep this review short, summing it up with one sentence; If you own a PS3 and have never played this, buy it. Ok, thats more of an order than a review. But this game is that good. I have never heard a bad word about it - its a truly brilliant game. I acquired a PS3 just before Christmas 2011 and ...  Read the complete review

The team at Naughty Dog had a lot to live up to with the release of Uncharted with similar games like the Tomb Raider franchise already dominating the market. Uncharted brings tomb robbery bang up to date with witty dialouge, motion captured gameplay and a quality line up of actors including the likes of Andy Serkis. The story follows ...  Read the complete review

Uncharted is a PS3 exclusive game made by Naughty Dog. Drake's Fortune is the first in the Uncharted series. Usually I find that graphics and gameplay are greatly improved as a game series goes on, but having played Uncharted 2 first I have to say that I'm rather impressed with how good Drake's Fortune is as it didn't really feel like I ...  Read the complete review

I have never really many offline PS3 games, however, I am glad I bought this. It really pulls you in from the beginning, getting right into the story. I had bought the second game of this but upon doing some research I noticed that most people suggsted playing the first one before the second. The reason being that the ...  Read the complete review

This game is what Tomb Raider should have been on the PS3, but with a guy. It is very old-school tomb raider but nowhere near as confusing which is a bonus if you're anything like me! The story line hooks you in straight away and it turns into one of those games you just can't turn off until you've completed the whole thing. ...  Read the complete review

I barely know where to start with this game, the fact that there is so much to do and the story-line is so detailed and in depth, is amazing. The length of the game, was really a shock to me, because i didn't think they could have such good graphics on a game and still make it so it lasts for about 12+ hours. And that 12 ...  Read the complete review

Just to warn you, this review contains spoilers, not ones that'll ruin it but it's a warning nonetheless. Okay, this game has been hailed as a 'must play' and I'd agree, for the most part. The game is beautiful, it really is, the scenery is lovely and it's one of those games that's a joy to play and makes wonder in awe at the designers ...  Read the complete review

A really addictive game! To be honest my expectations werent all that great, however, within minutes of playing I found myself absolutely hooked. I have always been a fan of the Tomb Raider style action games but rarely have I come across one where I am literally physically unable to remove the controller from my hand as I am glued to ...  Read the complete review

Being one of the first games solely for the new ps3 console no one really expected much of this little known game, I just assumed it would be one of those games you here about for a bit because it came out at the right time but would soon die into the subconcious quickly leaving the fore front of peoples minds. Boy was I ...  Read the complete review

Every now and then I find a game that surprises me. Sometimes for being overhyped and err rather poor and just occasionally a little bit of gold dust comes floating onto my telly. I got this game through my rewards from MBNA and wasn't expecting a great deal. It looked like Tomb Raider and will also remind you of Indiana ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game recently as I had been told that the sequel was very good indeed, so I thought that I should play this first so that I knew the story. ********************************************************** The game starts when you, Nathan, find the coffin of your ancestor Francis Drake, in the sea. Soon you end up ...  Read the complete review

Given that the sequel has arrived and is garnering rave reviews I thought I'd take the opportuinty to catch up with the first title in the series before I splashed out on the latest iteration in this new franchise. I'm happy to say I can recommend it, but not whole-heartedly. Uncharted has you playing as Nathan Drake, a man ...  Read the complete review

As I have said in other reviews of games, for me what makes a great game is choice. Take an 'open world' game such as Elder Scrolls, and therein lies the <current> extreme of freedom and choice. Grand Theft Auto series style follow - Go almost anywhere, enter a set number of buildings etc. So to take Uncharted, and you essentially ...  Read the complete review

First of all, the only ...  Read the complete review
