I know, crazy right?

I finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and decided I should write a review for it. It's been a long time since I wrote my last one, and the small choice of games that I have decided to review has been very selective, and a little strange. I don't know the reasons behind that. Anyway, I decided to review it because I've been meaning to write reviews for a while, and I better start doing it now before I go back to uni in a few weeks, when my time is sucked away again

I liked Uncharted, I really did, but there are problems with it I couldn't shake off while playing it. It's a shame it isn't more original, but there you go. If you're interested, the review can be found here.

As for other games, I still haven't started Fable 2. I've had it out for over a month now. I'll start it soon now I am done with Uncharted. I am about 18 hours into Persona 4 and enjoying it. A long way to go on that one yet though.

I finally got round to pre-ordering some of my most anticipated games coming out this year, and there are a few of them. I ordered Rock Band Beatles, Guitar Hero 5, Forza Motorsport 3, Fallout 3 GOTY, Modern Warfare 2, and Left 4 Dead 2. Then, just today, I decided to order Halo 3: ODST. I haven't really been bothered about this game before, but I have played Halo 3 a few times recently and it's still a really fun game. ODST should give me and a few friends some multiplayer fun before Modern Warfare 2 and L4D2 come out.

There are other games coming out that I want, such as Uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed 2, but they can wait until I have finished all of the other games. Hopefully by then the prices will have fallen a little bit too, since those other pre-ordered games are costing quite a few pennies. Autumn is great for sucking away money.

BStill not too sure on Rock Band beatles myself...I just wish you could transfer the songs somehow
Posted Aug 5, 2009 9:38 am PT
@PJ24 I wasn't either, but then I kept seeing more footage and the songs, and I totally want it now.

This might be some kind of sacrlige but I don't know most of the Beatles songs listed . I also like the look the game. If I do get it it's probably going to be one of those 'oh what the hell purcheses'

That is a solid review.

Great review, and pretty much dead on. I recentlhy finished this game too, just have not gotten around to a review yet.

Awesome review.

Good review, recommended it. And have fun with all those games that you pre-ordered.

I stopped pre-ordering games since GameStop has a nasty habbit of lying to people and telling them that they won't be able to get their hands on a copy if they dont pre-order it. I normally buy my games online and I've even gotten a few games 3 days before the release date. However, great list of games you got there.

That's a good review, and I recommended it. I've been playing it today, and it was great.

@teabagchampion I buy games online too. When I say pre-order, I just mean I ordered it online now, which is a pre-order, but it's not a retailer pre-order where you have to go in and pick it up, or anything like that.

I need to play Uncharted before the second one comes out. I'll be sure to read your review.
Posted Aug 5, 2009 1:37 pm PT
Fair points made in the review, a reccomendation from me although I gave it a bit higher score but mainly as I felt it did what it takes from others quite well and I cant fathem Tomb Raider out.
Posted Aug 5, 2009 1:37 pm PT
nifty review
Posted Aug 5, 2009 1:41 pm PT
Wow... that's a long list of games you already have ordered. I wish I could appreciate your review as much as it it interesting, but I don't own a PS3

I can't believe you havent played Fable II. It is a great game... you will love it!
Posted Aug 5, 2009 2:14 pm PT
@TeabagChampion Same exact reason I stopped going to them long ago and have only made purchases online since then.

@Caddy Great review! Since I haven't play Tomb Raider since its first inception this was really fresh for me and I absolutely fell in love with it and can't wait for Drake 2.
Posted Aug 5, 2009 2:25 pm PT
I recently played the start of this game, and it sounds like you have it spot on
Posted Aug 5, 2009 2:32 pm PT
Enjoyed the review, Caddy!
Posted Aug 5, 2009 3:18 pm PT
So many games you're buying . I wish I had money like that. I still need to buy a new tv *grumbles*
Posted Aug 5, 2009 7:03 pm PT
A few pennies indeed! Nice review, thumbs up
Posted Aug 6, 2009 1:58 am PT
Wow, it looks like you've already spent next years student loan already. Don't spend all the beer and Pot Noodle money!
Posted Aug 6, 2009 2:12 am PT
Another nicely written review! Frankly almost ridiculous number of games you've ordered.
Posted Aug 7, 2009 8:56 am PT
I need to get and play that before Uncharted 2 comes out.
Posted Aug 8, 2009 7:20 pm PT
great rewiev
