At the launch of the PS3 many of the games that came out for the system were either also on the Xbox 360 or not that good. That was until Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was released that the PS3 finally had a must have title. Uncharted stars Nathan Drake, supposed direct reletive to Sir Francis Drake, who is in search of Sir Francis Drake's lost tresure and prove that he faked his death to keep it a secrect. The story in Uncharted is very engaging and very well written in that if it were to be made into a real life movie that critics would call it a modern day Indiana Jones with well rounded characters, lush settings and a twist that the end, while some what predictable, is very fulfilling and leaves players wanting more from Nathan and his crew.

If I ever needed a reason to buy a PlayStation 3 it was certainly the prospect of playing system exclusive Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Uncharted: Drake's Engine is what would come out of a love affair between Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and that muscled dude (who cares what his name is) from Gears of War. It's perhaps a bit easy to call Uncharted a combination of these two games, and it's certainly more than that, but the game doesn't make a secret of its inspirations. Thankfully, it only steals from the best, and therefor, Uncharted is one hell of a ride, although a short one. The game receives its own face through the main character, Nate, whom at first seems a little bland, but in the following hours, through impressive voice acting, becomes your everyday guy who you really want to help out with. And he needs all the help he can get: he's on an island looking for a long lost treasure by his great grandfather, only t...Read more
