Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Incredible production values and plenty of thrilling moments help make Uncharted an action-packed adventure, in spite of some slightly uneven gameplay.

Here's the thing about Uncharted, the final sum is far greater than the individual parts. Maybe you don't dig the combat or maybe the pop-in gets you down, but the overall package of an endearing story, outstanding score, great performances and fun gameplay should put this title on the top of your holiday wishlist. Say what you will about the PS3, but Uncharted isn't just a standout for Sony -- it's a standout for gaming as a whole.

"Uncharted isn’t a long game; it's certainly becoming an unwelcome trend as of late for games to be around 8 hours in length and sadly Uncharted follows suit. This would have been a problem was it not for how enjoyable your time will be, the game also luckily sports a fair amount of replay value. Chances are you will want to go back and collect treasures that you missed first time round as well as beat some of the harder achievement points the game has on offer. Uncharted is a superb but linear action adventure that doesn’t last too long, but anyone with a PS3 or even a soft spot for a grand adventure should definitely check out it."
