Yet another stunning achievement for Naughty Dog and Sony.
If Uncharted 3 has proved one thing to me, it's that Naughty Dog is unbelievably adept at delineating an openly interactive experience. Whether you're chasing down an opponent through back alleys and across rooftops or searching for a hidden switch in some decrepit structure, Naughty Dog knows exactly how to direct your eye and smooth out all of the typical bumps associated with navigating a 3D space. And all of this is amidst stunning and grandiose locales, which are part of an amazing and intriguing story. Naughty Dog shows unbelievable mastery in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception that's unparalleled in this day and age.
It's a bit tough to play after Among Thieves, but it still proves enjoyable overall.
When I first started playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Jesse Miller asked me if the game still held up after playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. At the time, I confidently told him "yes," but if you don't mind Jesse, I'd like to retract my response.
Julie Burness and Rob Cuenca discuss the creation of the new Resplendent Temple in the upcoming Everquest expansion, Veil of Alaris.
All 4 One, and one for dull.
It's been a long nine days since we started running our Ratchet & Clank recap feature, but it has served as a great refresher on all of the games in the series. Having played them all individually over a number of years, it was easy to miss many of the trends the series has exhibited over time. For one, roughly half of the games in the series are actually side quests that only exhibit some of the traits of the core titles. Two, Insomniac is and has always been willing to utilize the series as a testing ground for all sorts of different ideas. All 4 One, being a co-operative four player title, is their latest test. The title sacrifices much of what makes the core series great in an effort to appeal to those looking for a co-op experience with friends. Like Ratchet: Deadlocked (Insomniac's other testing ground), All 4 One both succeeds and fails in different ways, but doesn't even begin to approach the bar set by A Crack in Time.
The twin thumbstick shooter returns! Available October 25 for the PSN, and October 26 for the XBLA.
Alongside the news, Nintendo revealed over half a million copies of Ocarina of Time 3D have been sold.
September was a big month for Nintendo in the US. How big? Nintendo moved nearly 650,000 pieces of hardware. The DS reached the major sales milestone of 50 million units in the US. The 3DS is selling better than ever, having sold 260,000 units last month, a number Nintendo suggests is a 10% increase over August. Perhaps the most shocking number is for the Wii. Without any major title releases or any major marketing push, the Wii sold 240,000 units in September. Click through to see more Nintendo sales figures for last month.
Chessa leads the charge in an effort to recap the entire Ratchet & Clank series with a set of Review Rewinds.
With the release of Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One quickly approaching, we thought it would be interesting to go back and replay all of the entries in the Ratchet & Clank series starting with the original. As those who are familiar with our Review Rewinds may already know, these articles tend to stray from the standard PixlBit review formula, allowing the writer to analyze and critique a game in any way they desire. As such, when going back through the Ratchet & Clank series, we'll be focusing mainly on the staples of the series in order to fully capture how each has evolved as the series has grown.
