Wow, it's really been this long since the site launched? And it's really been this long for the new design to go up?
I blame commercialism, since it's keeping me too busy.
Now, since this little mistake I made launched the redesign too early I guess I'll have to finish the programming as well. Oy vey.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

I went in expecting adventure and got a shooter. Gears of Indiana Jone... - I mean, Uncharted was not what I hoped it would be.
A descendant from a more or less famous treasure hunter, Francis Drake, you climb into the pants of Nathan Drake. With your travel-companions, a female journalist that's documenting your treasure-hunt and a older male long-time partner-in-grave-robbing, you follow uncover clues that will supposedly lead you to the lost city of gold, El Dorado. The story plays out in the same manner that the movie-series The Mummy rips off the Indiana Jones franchise. There's old languages, graves, tombs, clues, trails, multiple characters after the same treasure, a hint of super-natural, and yes - even Nazis. It's basically a summer-blockbuster-adventure-movie in interactive form, except the main emphasis is on the gun-fights and not the adventure part.
This leaves you with the same interest that you would have in it'snon-interactive counterpart. Some will be swallowed by it, some will finish their popcorn and then leave the theater to wait for the DVD instead.
Gameplay-wise it's a third-person-shooter. Basically, if Marcus Fenix, of locust-bustin' Gears of War-fame, had a baby with Lara Croft, plain busty Tomb Raider-fame, that baby would be Nathan Drake.
