Reminder

Id just like to remind everyone that Uncharted 3 comes out on November 1st.
Uncharted 2 has exceeded my expectations. The graphics and details are absolutely amazing. With snow crunching underfoot I moved to a fire to warm up when i get close to the fire I put my hands up to shield my face. Nate Drake will also do this in a blizzard to shield his face from wind and storm. Nate is once again chasing his supposed ancestor Sir Francis Drake. This time Drake supposedly lead an expedition to shangralah, the home of a priceless treasure of immortality. But as always things are never easy with Nate Drake and just as you've solved a puzzle, goons show up to make things even more difficult than they were in the first place. But there is always the satisfaction of blowing a goons head off. If publisher Naughty Dog was trying to top the last game they've succeeded in my book. With all the buzz about Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception I find myself playing uncharted more and more as I probably will until November 1st. There is returning members of the team like Victor Sullivan (Sully) and Elana Fisher, and there are new such as Chloe Frazier. It was a great game and I cant wait for Uncharted 3.

LittleBigPlanet 2


Wow! My head is still spinning after playing LittleBigPlanet 2 for just a few days. The story mode had enough adventure to please while still not throwing the plot to the wind. Its ability to get the imagination churning stuns me. While the tutorials are hard to endure the jokes make it easier as you wait impatiently to learn how to make your own 2D shooter. A great variety of background music let's you enjoy the story mode even more. In the future I'd like the dialouge improved with real words instead grunts, sounds, and monosyllables. But overall I'm very impressed with the story mode with infrequent frustration points and a convenient retry button. I simply couldn't put it down even after I stopped playing I kept playing with it in my mind creating new levels and storing them in my mind until I got back to my game. With this kind of success I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a LittleBigPlanet 3 in the future with greater reception than the first.
