Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Post by ubercow »

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platfor ... ongthieves

picked this up @ costco yesterday for ~$55. I'm soo typically not into 3rd person shooters, but picked this up after playing the free online multiplayer demo that came out a week ago. Played the story part for about an hour yesterday and so far it's been surprisingly good. It's quite movie-like immersive per the commercial. The last ridiculously high acclaimed game I bought (super smash bros brawl) I was pretty disappointed an hour in, so I'd give a positive recommendation for this game so far. I'll probably post again about this should I finish, or give up on the game altogether. :D

Daikatana? anyone?

hype isnt always true. there have been many cases where it falls VERY flat, so some people are a little skeptical
When in doubt, burn it down.

the last majorly hyped game I got was super smash brothers brawl and I thought that one sucked. gta IV would probably be the next and that one was a good game, but idunno if I'd give it a 10 out of 10.

haha as for daikatana, I don't think any reviewer gave it any accolades :P

Finished it a couple days ago and I'd also highly recommend it. Only gripes are that the single player storyline isn't the longest, and towards the end you might get the feeling that you've been jumping and climbing a lot. Multiplayer co-op and deathmatch is good as well so the game length isn't so bad. I'd give it a 8.5/10 or a 9/10, best game I've played this year so far.

I can't wait for Bad Company 2 for PC. That game looks and promises all that Modern Warfare 2 was meant to be.
