The Game “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” for PlayStation 3 Came Out Yesterday
You mean you haven’t yet gotten the game rated 96 on Metacritic (“Universal Acclaim”), 96.3% on GameRankings, and 9.5 out of 10 on GameStats?
Unless you’ve been working with the Peace Corps in Eritrea or something — and if you have, this post is for you – you were probably already aware that Sony released Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the highly-anticpated follow-up to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune on October 13, 2009.

C’mon, are you ever going to pull the trigger? Following are excerpts from a few reviews…
PlayStation: The Official Magazine (US): “A veritable master class of all-round game development.”
Games Radar: “Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream, and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off.”
PlayStation: The Official Magazine (UK): “Unless you’re born without thumbs, eyes, or a sense of humor, it’s obvious that Uncharted 2 is a 10/10 game after two minutes of the first level… It’s the most complete, polished and fun adventure game — and maybe just game — on PS3, and it’s absolutely essential.”
Eurogamer Portugal: “Could use many words to describe Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, but I will just use one. Too beautiful.”
Well, that’s 2 words, but who’s counting?
Gametrailers.com: “This is the best-looking game on the planet right now.”
