He craves adventure, lives for the hunt and basks in the fortune. The fabled, ancient secrets of the "Atlantis of the Sands" are calling to Nathan Drake — and this time, the mysteries of the past will drag the fortune hunter into the darkest corners of his own psyche as the Uncharted phenomenon continues. Whisked around the world from a derelict chateau in France to the vast, untamed terrain of the Arabian desert in search of glory and riches, Drake has returned to the grueling life of an explorer, only to discover that the buried secrets he's about to uncover could end his quest forever. The rogue, unlikely hero, Nathan Drake, has encountered his share of intrigue and danger in the epic Uncharted series, thrusting you into the most explosive corners of the world on the quest for fortune. Now, the expedition resumes in deeper cinematic detail and more intense multiplayer action than ever in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Traverse the merciless Arabian desert as Drake in the hunt for a city lost in time. As you delve deeper into the secrets of the past, your darkest fears become more and more real — and drag you into a desperate bid for survival. Combining stunningly immersive cinematics with grand-scale multiplayer battles and rich single-player campaigns, Drake's Deception blurs the boundaries between Hollywood splendor, gaming control and real-life, edge-of-your seat thrills.

PS3's blockbuster title
on April 13, 2013
Posted by: phoenixlau
The Uncharted series is among the best PS3 has to offer, and Uncharted 3 is arguably the best one yet. The graphics in this game are astounding, and will make you stop and stare at all the pretty lighting effects. As the series is known for, there are tons of insane action set pieces. If you own a PS3, Uncharted 3 is a must have.
The multiplayer is also a lot of fun and is still very active. Two things to note: 1) There is an online pass required for multiplayer, so if you are buying a used copy, you will most likely need to acquire the online pass separately if you want to play multiplayer; 2) there is a different version of this game called Uncharted 3 Game of the Year Edition that includes all of the multiplayer DLC on disc (map packs and character customization). There is no single player DLC, so if you don't care about multiplayer, just stick with the regular edition (this one).
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, epic action, likable characters
What's not so great: Multiplayer requires online pass
I would recommend this to a friend!

The smell of trash assails you as you vault over a low dividing wall and right into a pile of refuse. You stand up in disgust but immediately trot down the dank alley before you; there isn't a second to lose in this desperate flight for your life. Your partner silently shadows you as you stalk to the next street. He may be an impulsive psychopath, but right now you have bigger problems. Your pursuers won't be long before they, too, are knee-deep in trash, but every escape holds a possible enemy. You scan the street, assess the possibilities and start to step out of the alley, prepared to casually blend in with the scurrying pedestrians. Just before your foot hits the pavement, your eyes lock onto the crisp uniform of the Shanghai police force bobbing through the crowd straight in your direction. You turn to vault back over the alley wall but hear the shouting voices of your pursuers on the other side. It seems that escape is impossible; how will you get out of this impossible situation?Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days takes you on a heart-pumping journey through the streets of Shanghai. Play as the psychopathic Lynch or the ex-mercenary Kane as you evade your pursuers and jump, run and fight your way through seedy streets and gritty rooftops. Take on the underworld in this brutal crime shooter but keep an eye on your partner, you never know if he'll snap. Fragile alliance multiplayer mode, arcade modes, single player, online and offline co-op modes offer plenty of opportunities to test your shooting skills as you side with these two unhinged criminals.

Solid but short 3rd person shooter
on April 13, 2013
Posted by: phoenixlau
The best thing Kane and Lynch 2 has going for it is its unique visual style. The whole game looks like it is being filmed on a handheld video camera, complete with digital video artifacting, lens flare blowout, and shakycam. It really gives the game a memorable gritty feel.
The gameplay is competent 3rd person cover shooting, and plenty of fun with a co-op buddy.
The one major complaint is the short length of the single player campaign. At 4 hours, I finished it in one sitting. For only $10 or less, though, I would definitely recommend it.
What's great about it: Unique visual style
What's not so great: 4 hour campaign
I would recommend this to a friend!
