Must Own Game!
5If you have a PS3 you owe it to yourself to play through the Uncharted series. This game has amazing visual elements and has a very "movie-style" feel to it. The voice work is top notch and the animations are just perfect.

Probably the best game i've played on ps3
5Although this game came in my ps3 bundle games towards which i'm highly sceptical in terms of quality , I was pretty much surprised . I didn't play the original but this game is the perfect mix of action and storytelling. The characters are well developed and go well with the setting and the action is top notch. Every shooter should follow it's model. Where do I start for the multiplayer. It's still my guilty pleasure (i have it for a year now). Truly a masterpiece.

Awesome game!
5Once again we follow nathan drake on his journey this time to find Marco Polo and other treasures. You will also be able to find treasures that you can pick up and sell. For the money you earned you can buy bonus character skins, art, making off videos and more. The story is not the only thing that is great but the sound effects, voice actings, and the grafic which is very good. So if you own a ps3 then buy this awesome game.

Could it get any Better?
5If you thought Uncharted 1 was good wait until you have played Uncharted 2. This game allows for even more exploration with impeccable and engaging story lines that will keep you gripped until the end. Puzzles, adventures, mystery and surprise round every corner. It didn't go Platinum for no reason! A Must have!

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
5Uncharted 2 sees you; once again, take control of Nathan Drake, this time searching for the mysterious artefact called the Cintamani Stone in the lost kingdom of Shambhala. There are two very welcome returns to the cast: Sully and Elena, plus a new member to the team called Chloe. There isn’t a dull moment with these three following you over the globe trying to seek out the Cintamani Stone, which just happens to be a huge sapphire worth billions. Gameplay is essentially the same as the first game, with Nathan quite happy to execute jumps over high up obstacles that some gymnasts would need a stiff drink before attempting. You won’t have to sink your teeth in far to realise Naughty Dog have been hard at work trying to change the mechanics for the better. They have cured the headaches of the cover system and made the guns much easier to use. They have remapped the grenade button, which always bugged me on the first game, to a more suitable place that fits better with online gaming and general ease. Unfortunately, the melee combat, I feel, doesn’t work quite as well. The punches are too sluggish but this is redeemed by a bar brawl style of fighting that is used when your close to an object, like a wall, using it to incapacitate your opponent. Another thing is the simplicity of the system, which works really well, as depending on where you are you may punch them normally, break their neck from behind or even pull them off a ledge. There is also a counter system, it’s quite easy to spot when to counter, for even for the most novice novices. The game never actually forces you to be stealthy and bash people around a bit, it’s up to you weather to go loud. Fighting is not the only thing that this game offers; there is a good half of the game that is exploration and puzzle based, the puzzles however aren’t the most tricky the gaming world has ever seen, they usually only take a little common sense combined with Nathans journal. Platforming isn’t the worlds hardest compared to the likes of Tomb Raider, but it’s not that easy that it feels like a chore. It’s actually quite good fun as Nathan traverses and climbs the ledges almost seamlessly; in fact, I would go as far to say that the Platforming can be more fun than Tomb Raider. In the unlikely case you can’t find where you are meant to be heading in these sections, then there is the always handy hint button, press that and it rotates the camera to point you in the right direction. What makes a game truly stunning are the moments where you just have to step back and say wow. There are plenty of games that only get the basics right, this isn’t one of them. There are masses of standout moments in this game, for example, the train sequence, used in the advert, is truly amazing. This game doesn’t need a cut scene to amaze you either, just stood in the Monastery area towards the end of the game was enough to do it for me. To put the graphics in perspective; the first game raised the bar for graphics on the PS3 and then Killzone 2 rose it further. Uncharted two blew the bar away with an RPG and a witty remark. This is, possibly, the best-looking game that’s on the PS3 to date. The whole campaign lasts a decent 8-10 hours, that’s if you’re a person that just wants to rush through. For those that take their time with the game there are plenty more hours to get from the game. There certainly isn’t a lack of things to do, even if you play through on the hardest difficulty first time, there is another difficulty level that unlocks on completion. Even if you don’t want to conquer the game on the hardest difficulty then there are treasures to find and there is a whole shop in the single player. Aside from the single player there is a great little gem of a multiplayer, its complete with Co-Op and several verses mode including: ‘Deathmatch’ a team deathmatch mode; ‘plunder’ a capture the flag mode; ‘Elimination’ a no re-spawning deathmatch and more. To help you in these game modes, a CoD like perk system that give you certain advantages. They have to be bought using the currency you get from the campaign and the money you get from each round you play. The Co-Op is brilliant fun with friends just fighting wave upon wave of enemies. The AI is the reason this works, they will try to circle round behind you and throw grenades to flush you out, it’s almost like you’re playing the game against wave after wave of real people, it’s a pleasure to play and even better if you and two mates have headsets. Uncharted two is so much better than its predecessor, however it still has a few niggles of its own but this game has so many positives, voice acting and gmeplay to name a few, that they completely overcome the bad points and make it such an enjoyable game to play. This game will have long appeal and deserves to be played over and over, it should truly be one of the classics of this.

GOTY 2009
5By far my favourite game of 2009, and this gen, maybe of all time. The whole game is just constant cinematic epicness, every chapter is exciting and it's got everything you would want. Not only that but it has the best console graphics I have ever seen (even better than KZ2) There's also a really good online mode which is still very much alive 1 year since release.
