"Nathan Drake's new adventure doesn't rewrite the book like his last one did, but damn if it's not a great action game anyway."

Greatness from all beginnings.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Nathan Drake Collection

Played this for the first time since the original PS3 version at launch. It doesn't quite hold up as the "must-play" it was at the time, but is still a fun title in one of my favorite franchises. The… Read more

Improving on the Improvements

The third game in the Uncharted series takes an extra step towards amazing action games that doesn't care to look like a completely over the top popcorn action movie, while being awesome. I thought th… Read more

The ultimate action movie fantasy

The ultimate action movie fantasy, I expected more games to go this way with the more powerful consoles but that hasn't seemed to happen. Great story and some great action and unsurpassed spectacle. I… Read more

Fails to capture greatness that was Among Thieves.

Fortune seeker and adventurer Nathan Drake along with his best friend Sully fall victim to a botched exchange, that was being fronted by Sully's former business associate Marlowe. The duo pursues Marl… Read more

U3

It is almost impossible to talk about Uncharted 3 in some kind of vacuum; it's amazing predecessor, Uncharted 2, is literally the blueprint for Uncharted 3 in almost every way. Unfortunately, the abil… Read more

The Greatest Movie That Happens to Have a Game Inside

Uncharted 1 was a pretty game undone by its combat and flabbergastingly awful final chapters. Uncharted 2 was not a game undone, but it was certainly a game held back by increasingly cheap armored and… Read more

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Review

“Here we go again.” Nathan Drake is back in an all new thrilling masterpiece that is a complete joy to play from start to finish. Uncharted 3 is the sole reason why I own a PlayStation 3. It such a fu… Read more

The best just keeps getting better

Pros: -Amazing jaw dropping graphics, the best ever made to date -The great Uncharted gameplay is even better this time around -Epic and cinematic Single Player -Fun and addicting Multiplayer with ton… Read more

Third time's almost the charm

When Uncharted 2 saw the light of day back in 2009 I don’t think anybody expected it to become as big as it actually did. But it did make quite an impression on the gaming world and suddenly the stake… Read more

Uncharted 3 Review

As Uncharted 3 hits shelves, the title is in an odd position. The only game that it’s looking to emulate is its predecessor. Uncharted 2, was and still is one of the best 3rd person action adventure g… Read more

Spiderman and his cheesy melodrama return.

I was once under the conception that the film and video game mediums were separate genres and were – to the delight and hope of us many gamer entities- to never be intertwined. Uncharted series has be… Read more

Stumbles in gunplay can't hold back this amazing title

That's right ladies and gentlemen, I have finally topped off the Uncharted trilogy. At least I finished it while it is still a trilogy, I could see a fourth installment being made, but that is neither… Read more

Near perfect but misses U2's spark

Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite games ever made, so right off the bat this game had a lot of expectations to live up to. And for the most part the game delivers perfectly but it just doesn't have th… Read more

Uncharted 3 Review

Uncharted 3: Drake’s fortune is a strong sequel with several great features. Campaign wise the gameplay matches up to that of Uncharted 2. There are plenty of excuses to go globetrotting and the amazi… Read more

Uncharted 3 is solidly entertaining despite not being any better

As arguably the best game of 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves set the bar ridiculously high for Naughty Dog’s next outing with series. The cinematic flair of the action, the peerless character interac… Read more

fun, yet sloppy

uncharted 3 is still a fun game but it hits too many of the same beats from the last game, worse yet the story feels a bit sloppy this time around and the action bits felt kinda thrown together, I am… Read more

Solid Game but Falls a Little Flat w/ the Story

Naughty Dog delivers another triumphant adventure for PS3 owners. If you played the previous two then you kind of have an idea of what to expect. If you haven't, you can still jump into this game and… Read more

Greatest Game in the Series

Because my video ended turning out kind of short - I also included my thoughts on the 2012 Hugo Award nominees for best Novel... and because of some hiccups with, I suspect, my webcam drivers, I ended… Read more

I'll Be Go To Hell!

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves went down as one of the greatest games of all time, and certainly PS3′s greatest game. It was a huge step up from 2007′s Drakes Fortune. So, expectations were through the roo… Read more

best game ever

this is the best ps3 game I played it worth every cent you pay.It the story that make this game awesome.this is the game that make you buy a ps3.the 2nd game also amaze me you should buy the game.the… Read more

A decent video game that could have been an amazing movie.

This is going to sound odd, but I think Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception would have been better as a movie than as a video game. I am not trying to say it is a bad game, it is actually good, but it is m… Read more

It's a good movie with inputs

When I bought this game, my PS3 was 8 months old. I had already been through Uncharted 1 and 2, and liked them. A lot. These games are the perfect examples of linear single player games: wonderful gra… Read more

Easily the Best This Series has offered yet, despite some things.

Uncharted 3 was probably every PS3 owner's most anticipated game of 2011. After Uncharted 2 re-wrote some things (I'm still not the biggest fan of Uncharted 2), many were looking at 3 to be even bigge… Read more

Fortune Hunters To Eleven

Those familiar with the Uncharted series will be at home with the blockbuster action, ancient treasures, and witty dialogue of Uncharted 3 . This is not to suggest that all is the same, as this third… Read more

A spectacular disappointment

I'm more conflicted about Uncharted 3 than maybe any game I've played in the last year. Uncharted 2 was so outstanding that its flaws didn't even register when playing the game. In Uncharted 3, the sl… Read more

My Thoughts - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

If you played either of the first two games in the series then you have a pretty good idea of what's in store for you in the third installment. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception throws you right into the… Read more

Brilliantly Conceived, but Issues in Story and Gameplay

From the first time Nathan Drake appeared on screen to the final moments of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, one must acknowledge the improvement that studio Naughty Dog has shown perfecting their craf… Read more

Great Experience, Sub-par Shooter and Story

Earlier this year I had my first opportunity to play through Uncharted 2, and I thought it was amazing. The incredible setpieces (the train level, falling off a cliff, being chased by a truck down an… Read more

An Uncharted 3 and Aquatic Weaponry Review

Two years ago, the Naughty Dog team gave us Uncharted 2, an action-packed, bombastic, over-the-top, cinematic adventure that vastly improved upon the aspects that made its predecessor stand out, and t… Read more

It's more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I haven't got a lot to say about Uncharted 3 that I didn't say about Uncharted 2, if anything. Uncharted 2 was a fantastic game with fantastic set pieces, adequate shooting mechanics and enjoyable pla… Read more

Fantastic finale

I firmly believe that a lot of developers need to pay attention to Naughty Dog, if they haven't already. Apart from Valve, I have difficulty trying pinpoint a studio that has been more ambitious in it… Read more

Not The Treasure It Could Have Been

How do you follow up one of the most perfect video games ever made? If you’re part of Naughty Dog , the answer is apparently to obfuscate most of the elements that made that game so great and break th… Read more

Uncharted 3 Review

There are certain games that I'm sure to buy every time a new installment comes out. I'll always pick up the new Gears of War or Call of Duty, Witcher or Assassin's Creed. Uncharted is on that list. I… Read more

The Sands of Time

At the end of Uncharted 2, peace is restored, love is found, and jokes are made. Uncharted 3 did not need to exist to finish any story arch. No henchman of Lazaravic got away. No shocking twist reveal… Read more

Uncharted 3 Review

Uncharted 3 is a fantastic cinematic experience that plays well and is entertaining from start to finish. That being said, there are some significant potholes along the way that, while they don’t dera… Read more

Uncharted 3 is more Uncharted... and that's just fine!

The third entry in a series is always the hardest to construct. In most cases by the threequel the audience already knows what to expect. Many want new changes whilst most want the formula to stay rel… Read more

Not quite as phenomenal as its predecessor, but still a fun romp.

It almost kills me to lay down such a cliched statement that video game critics around the globe hate to spout out of their mouths (or their fingers?), but Uncharted 3 almost feel like Uncharted 2 - 2… Read more

Drake's Misfortune

A Brilliant Game That's Hard Not To Nitpick

A Marvel to Behold

Going into Uncharted 3 one could say I was more than a little bit excited. After Uncharted 2 I was more than ready for more globe trotting, train hopping, ass kicking action than ever. Among Thieves s… Read more

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune managed to successfully blend together third person shooting and traversal-based platforming into something that was coherent and mostly fun to play, but it was the kind of… Read more

The one ring to rule them all.

For what it was, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was near perfect in my honest opinion. It bridged a chasm of platforming, shooting, puzzle and some occasional stealth obstacles, all smoothly fitted and ha… Read more

More Uncharted is never a bad thing

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception isn’t a surprising game for those familiar this the series. It still provides those thrill a minute moments that were so ground breaking the 2 game, but this time it fee… Read more

Like fine wine.

Naughty Dog must be making other developers feel shamed. The crew at Naughty Dog is pushing video game limits as far as we’ve seen to this day and further than many had ever thought possible on this c… Read more

Then you might like this one or you might now. Liking Uncharted 3 really isn't a problem, because there is a lot of content in a single package that you're bound to like at least a part of it. Interac… Read more

Improving perfection

When Uncharted 2 came out in 2009 it set a new standard for cinematic action games. Where the first game had some solid ideas that didn’t do a whole lot for the industry, the second game was a huge le… Read more

A hunger for profit gives this adventure a bad taste.

Uncharted has long been the flagship title of the Playstation3 since it's release in 2007, much like Gears of War in the case of the Xbox 360. The first Uncharted was the game that validated everyone'… Read more
