Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

So I have just finished Uncharted 2, one of the biggest games of the year. I have not been this excited for a game release in awhile (yes, even more than Tales of Monkey Island) and when I was able to get a copy, my heart just raced, knowing I was in for a real treat as I have previously professed my love for the original and played it around 5 times through. I was in love with the game play, the characters, the writing, and yes even the acting, all having influences from pulp adventure serials such as my favorite movie of all time, Raiders of the lost ark. For Nathan Drake's second adventure on the PS3 however, words cannot describe how amazing this game is. EVERYTHING is improved from the original game. The single player campaign is longer, the script writing and acting is top notch and is probably one of the best I've ever seen in a video game, and the set pieces are so unbelievable iconic that the action can really make you bite your nails as you actually care about the characters surviving. There were moments in this game that I have never experienced before, truly bridging the gap between cinematic and interactive entertainment. Oh and there's a very competent multiplayer mode as well on top of that with many features that will have you hooked for months. If you have a PS3, get this game now! And if you don't have a PS3 yet, pick this up along with its prequel, don't miss out on one of the best games of the year, possibly the century. It's that damn good!
