This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.
I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.
Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.
A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.
Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.
Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.
It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.
Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...
I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
this guy's been boring since 07....seen it heard it kinda like mike myers. you were kool but now you're crap
I've never found this guy funny but I think a lot of it is that I'm British and this guy has the exact voice of the upper class University pricks who sit around trying to look poor and interesting in all the bars around town.
i remember him whining about the 1st uncharted being racist cuz the baddies had a brit accent
yatsee was fun for the 1st couple times, it was ~60 reviews ago.
now he's a total douche
Funny as always. Espically Drake's addiction to walls.
Though since Uncharted 2 is the PS3's top game at the moment. I'm sure a lot of people will dislike this review.
Ok I used to think this guy was funny. But his recent reviews have just become stale.
His Uncharted: DF and Halo 3 reviews were all great but this one was just pretty bad.
First off he starts by bashing the first game when this is meant to be a review of the second game. He complains about the games having flaws yet he makes the mistake of thinking that Chloe is British when she is obviously Australian (How of all people could he not see that, I do not know). He actually complained about the platform sections being hard when they were actually f**k easy. He also goes and makes out that Uncharted 2 isn't even in the same league as Dragon Age despite the fact it has a 7% higher score.
He was funny back when he used to refer to the actual cliches of games. But now he just gives off the impression that the games really are in some way personally affecting him.
But oh well what can you do? Bashing the best game of the year must indeed be quite hard. I would hate it if it was my job.
