Then for some reason, I didn't get the second game until nearly a year after it came out, I think I got it around springtime last year. Around that time, is when I became a huge fan of the series.

I remember seeing a trailer for the second one in the 2009 spring, and thinking it looked sick...but I forgot about it. Then when I played like, like I said I became an even bigger fan. I mean, it's one of my favorite game series out there. You can do everything, you can shoot...you can climb, it's in third person...it's like all of my favorite games combined. The creative ways they find to climb certain buildings and objects. Plus, the character development just flows.

I was so eager, I watched some of it on Youtube. Just the first 3 chapters, but I'm trying to convince myself not to watch more. I wanted to buy it myself, but I found out from a third party that someone else is giving it to me as a Christmas present, so I have to wait. Patience is a virtue I guess, but on Christmas day, I think I'll be playing it non stop.

I didn't get the hype for Uncharted 2 until I actually got to play it for myself. Then, suddenly, it all made perfect sense. I quite liked the first game, too, but Among Thieves improved upon it in leaps and bounds. Everything just felt and worked better, and Uncharted 3 is basically an extension of that. It's not the jump in quality from the first to second game, but rather an epic experience built around what Naughty Dog almost perfected with the last one. It's more of what we all love about Uncharted; so, yeah, awesome stuff.

And do yourself a favor and don't spoil any more of the game with videos on Youtube. Resist the temptation, if at all possible. I can't stress enough how strong the second half of the game is, and there are lots of surprises in there that you're going to want to experience while playing. I know the wait will be tough, but trust me when I say that it will all be worth it.

Man, all of this Uncharted talk has got me wanting to run through all 3 again. If I didn't have such a monstrous backlog of games to play, I'd totally do just that.

I'm thinking about going through and replaying one and two, just to get more at home with the story before I finally do get the chance to play.

DC universe online has taken over more and more of my gaming time, and I don't mind it a bit.
I think I may actually pay to get the full membership

I've known about this for awhile, but while replaying the first Uncharted, I remembered they were making a movie. So I decided to see how much more has been released about the film.

Apparently it's coming out in 2013, and it's based on the first game.

Also, Bruce Campbell is rumored to play Sully. That's awesome in two ways, one...I love the show Burn Notice, and Sam Axe on that show is a badass. Two, every time I play Uncharted, Sully ALWAYS reminds me of Bruce...which makes it even funnier that he could be playing the guy in the movie.

Here's the IMDB link to it, if you want any more info, but there's not much.

Also, there's this semi related PS3 trailer, with all these live action video game characters, Drake's in it. I found it pretty funny...

Has anyone played the Ace Attorney games on the DS?

In my opinion they are some of the most underrated games out there. Sure the "laws" in the game are a bit questionable, but they are incredibly fun and addictive with gripping stories and interesting characters.

That looks really nice. Like I was saying earlier, I'm not usually a fan of games with unrealistic things in them, but when they have a plot and graphics like that, I'm going to play it.

The story looks really deep, and very similar to the Uncharted series. By that, it looks like I'm watching a movie. A matter a fact, that could have passed for a movie. It almost reminds me of that Will Smith movie, "I Am Legend".

The characters have some interesting qualities too. Based on what the girl was saying, it seems like the guy in the trailer was her father...and she was either born after the outbreak, or it happened when she was very young.

For the protagonist, it seems like it's going to be the young girl. I'm not sure how old she is, I'm guessing anywhere from twelve to sixteen. I like that it's a female though, going back to that tomb raider stage. Although it's possible that you could be given the option to play as either of the two characters shown, sort of like the Resident Evil games.

I'm interested to see what the plot would be like, or even how the gameplay style is. Will it be like the Grand Theft Auto series, or will you have to follow more of a path? Maybe it will be similar to the Dead Island game, although I haven't played that game yet, so I'm not sure how it goes.

On the plot topic though, I have a feeling whatever Naughty Dog does, it's going to be good. With the way that trailer was set up, and the way the graphics look, it just seems like disappointment isn't even an option. I'm just trying to figure out how they can go about creating a story, I mean usually there has to be a good antagonist to keep the plot going, but who will it be?

I'm guessing it's going to be the thing that's always in zombie movies, with the special area somewhere in the game, that is a safe haven from the infected, and you have to get there. Or maybe, there is someone behind the infection, someone who started the whole thing, like in Resident Evil, and you have to stop him.

Either way, it's going to be good, and I'm really excited for this game. Shame there's no release date yet, but I'm guessing, Spring of 2013? Or maybe even sometime late next year.

What are your early thoughts Ape?
