FACT: Joss Whedon is currently reimagining Indiana Jones, starring Nathan Fillion in the starring role!
No, not really. But if there was a movie with the above concept, then Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune would be the videogame adaptation of that movie.
Circuitious introduction aside, when I first saw previews of Uncharted, I blew it off as a Tomb Raider clone with a male protagonist. Granted, the previews were all based on a very early build of the title that even Naughty Dog (the developers) admit was shown too early. I lost interest and it fell off my radar, as many games do.
I didn’t think about it again until the demo showed up on the PSN Store on the PS3.
I watched the first cutscene and I was hooked. After playing it, I was sold. In fact, I went out and bought it on release day. Continue reading
Good buddy Len sends me this EBGameStop commercial.

After slogging through the disappointing single player game, (mostly via inertia from the cliffhanger ending of Halo 2) I have to say that the multiplayer aspect of Halo 3 is the “real” game that I paid money for.
While the single player game brings nothing new to the table, the fact that I can save my multiplayer replays is amazing. My proposed subtitle for the multiplayer aspect of Halo 3 is the title for this post, and rightly so.
That said, here’s my service record. It’s the same granular statkeeping as Halo 2, which is say, obsessive. But now it has screenshots from the match.
Which make great if sometimes embarrassing wallpaper.
