Ahh, Uncharted. I love this series of games, and certainly one of my favorite console games out there. I played the first one awhile after it’s initial release, picking up a used copy from a store as I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it (I’d been tempted by the excellent demo and review, but the Tomb Raider franchise had killed most of my enthusiasm for the genre).
It wasn’t until I’d played it for a couple of hours did I realize I’d been foolish to wait for so long, and that I should have bought it immediately upon release. The second and third game (although sadly, the third still awaits for completion, as I’m about half way through and just haven’t had time to continue it!) were just as good, with excellent voice acting and the kind of thrills and excitement you’d expect from a Hollywood blockbuster.
I never was that keen on the multiplayer though, but for those folks who’re still playing this online, the Playstation blog has details on the new update for Uncharted 3.
