Ah tax return time; Butt-loads of free money to spend at will. To ensure I’ve got the best game reviews for you, I just built a top of the line gaming pc, got a new HD camcorder, a studio microphone, and picked up a Nintendo DS and a Playstation 3, and with that, of course I had to pick up the game everyone and their mom’s been talking about, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Uncharted 2. If you haven’t heard of this game then likely, you’ve been living under a rock, and I’ve got to say I was blessed to have this be the first title that I got to play on my new system. I don’t know if I’d call it the best game I’ve ever played, but it is pretty damn good. Combining Indian Jones with Michael Bay, you’ve got one hell of an adventure ahead of you, so let’s check it out!
Obviously Uncharted was one of the great launch titles for PlayStation 3, showing what the console could do with the right amount of R&D, and a top notch development cycle. That’s not to say Uncharted didn’t have issues, like the melee combat and the aiming controls behind cover needing some tweaking.
Uncharted 2 corrected those issues, and added a couple of new ones, but at the same time added a multiple amount of new things that still make this game shine.
At 11 AM, I ventured to the Shrine Auditorium to attend Sony’s E3 Press Conference.
While a lot of the games shown were already known, or secrets leaked (PSP Go), it was an informative and interesting presentation. It’s safe to say that alternative controllers are the new fad among the big three.
