    October 31, 2009: The story of this game is top of the line action fun. It's by turns hilarious and sad, suspenseful and exciting. The gunplay is easy to use and the gameplay is smooth. The cover system isn't anything new, but it works well here. The graphics are astounding in their attention to detail. No texture looks half-assed or blurred. The character models are excellent, and the voice-acting convincing. The offline story is a good length (I beat it in around 12 hours I think, on Normal difficulty) and when you're done with that you can play Hard Mode to unlock Crushing Mode for a real challenge. Or, you can skip on over to the online game. Choose from either co-op or competitive, both are worth your times. Co-op is intense, as you must watch each other's back and help out. It's not about running and gunning, unless you want your teammate to revive you every 5 seconds. And the competitive multiplayer is fun with large, multi-leveled arenas in which you duke it out with other players. Take cover, lob grenades, level up, earn money, buy power-ups and bonuses for your guns. It's all entertaining. Great story and single player. Great online gaming. Great graphics and voice-acting. Games don't come much better than this. If you own a PS3, you should own Uncharted 2.

From the beautiful imagery to the excellent cast and plot, I found myself completely engrossed (and obsessed) with this wonderful title from Naughty Dog. The Uncharted Series is one of my all-time favorites and I can't wait for the next installment!
