The Uncharted 2 beta was closed to a few select individuals during June. But yesterday, it went live for the entire world to play. I started downloading it at around midnight so I woke up and found it. It's a little under 1.3 GB.

The beta/demo provides a few maps for team deathmatch, objective mode (which I still didn't try), and one map from the singe-player to be used as co-op for you and a friend. Packs quite some content. And since then, I practically didn't leave it.

This game is the most impressive game I've EVER played, and that's not an exaggeration of any kind. I mean it. Best ever. Most stable shadows and lighting to date (even more stable than ALL PC games). Gunplay is solid and packs quite a punch. And you always get your chance in the sunlight.

This game is a revolution. One that will change gaming as we know it. And am proud to be a PS3 owner and to be able to witness this withmy own eyes.

And to top it all off, I owned every multiplayer deathmatch game I've played. And I mean it. I did.I even played aco-op level with a friend, my score was triple his.I can even upload videos of my gameplay to show you all? Anyone wanna see?

I can't wait for the actual game to come out! As Gamer_4_Fun said, thank you Naughty Dog.

Seriously, Sony and Microsoft have both disgraced me. Starting with "Project Natal" and the nameless wand Sony cooked up. That is the noobs' stuff. Casual gamers go after that stuff. Leave it to Nintendo, they're good at casual gaming.

And before you tell me, "Hey, but that stuff is optional. No one told you use it." I know that. But keep in mind what will pop up as the offspring of that move. Nintendo's Wii made way for developers to make some of the most casual games ever and some of the crappiest things I've ever seen.

I mean, they have a friggin' fishing game. They even have an excercise machine (Wii Fit).I mean, you want some excerise? Get out there, take a jog, go to yoga sessionsor attend a gym. But video game consoles aren't meant for that. It's stupid.

Now imagine what Microsoft and Sony will give way to. What's next? 360 Yoga? Swimming Mania? PS Jog? Or maybe, a modified version of that cheap fishing game on the Wii.

So join me hardcore gamers! Say NO to motion control!

First of all, I was not impressed by the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 demo at all. The graphics make the characters look like hard plastic and all buildings look ugly. And there aren't any physicsthat were well rendered. On top of that, the animations felt loosely tied and the gameplay was not well polished. I give this demo 4 / 10.

Moving onto the Lost Planet 2 demo. The single-player was not that much fun, but certainly the multi-player(Co-op only)was good stuff. I enjoyed it very much. The gunplay is good and moving around is easy. But in general, Lost Planet is not my type of game. And the first one is better than this. I give this demo 7 / 10.

Now for the really good stuff. The Arkham Asylum DLC. The last DLC was OK, but nothing impressive or out of the ordinary. But this week adds two bad*** challenge maps for the hardcore types. The first one isdeadly killing of rows and rows of henchmen. Very nice and a lot of fun. The second one is an invisibile predator stealth map featuring three new challenges. Not as good as the freeflow combo map, but certainly good. Am suprised they're giving us these great maps for absloutely no charge whatsoever. I am very happy. I give this content 9 / 10. I wonder if they'll give us anything else.

So for the few people who have actually been following my blog ( Colmillios in particular because she'salwayscommenting on my blog), how was your PSN/XBL update? Got anything interesting?
