Uncharted 2 Impressions
There are few games that you'll want to keep playing till you have beaten the game, even fewer are ones that grip you for hours with its unforgettable tale and memorable cast of characters. For each swashbucklingly intense Twilight Princess, there is an abysmal, Legendary game that you'll want too avoid at all cost. And with the bar being constantly pushed when it boils down to what makes a game great, the future of gaming has never looked more promising. Does Uncharted 2 fall into the latter category, read on to find out.
If you have been scrounging the net for the latest news and updates like an eager beaver, chances are that you have already read about the rave reviews that the game has been getting. And yes, having played the game for two days straight, I can safely say that Uncharted 2 delivers in on the massive hype that lead up to its much anticipated release. If you need another reason to get a PS3, its this game alone that puts many other games to shame when it boils down to balls to the wall action, a believable cast that you will feel a sense of connection with and most of all great gameplay that has been long been a trademark of Naughty Dog.
Set a few years after Drake's Fortune, players are introduced to a familiar face - a notably bruised and injured Nathan Drake who has been shot in the hip. Upon waking up from his sleep, he notices that he is bleeding profusely with each passing second and before Drake figures out just what the hell went wrong, the train he is in plummets to the ground. As each seat and baggage begins to fall, our hero clambers on to whatever he can get his hands on. In this two minutes of finding your way out of this wreck and on to the mountain cliff, train parts will fall, debris will plummet to the abyss but one thing is clear, with such a great beginning to a game, it sets the stage for PS3's best action game to date.

I have been tagged
Hey guys, I have been tagged by pakhair and shadowchronicle. To those that are unfamiliar with the tagging system, here's how it works; when you have been tagged by a user, you'll have to list down ten things about yourself. Upon doing so, you have to choose about three people and tag them. Well, here are ten things about me.
PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY!!!
Ahem
1. First of all my username is DAVID_LCK. Do call me David Ick too if you wish, but in case you are wondering, my surname is Lee.
2. Italian food is what I live for, and I have yet to go a week without eating "insert Italian food here".
3. I live in Asia, Malaysia to be exact and it sure is hot here. Well, at least the girls are too. 
4. I have never beaten a Final Fantasy game before. 
There I said it!
5. My biggest fear is cockroaches, thinking about them just makes me puke.
6. I used to be extremely shy around girls, all that has changed now though.
7. My profile might tell you that I have been a member for four years, but the truth is, I have only been actively using GS since May 09.
8. My favorite sports include soccer, basketball and hiking. However, I have since stopped playing basketball though. Too many mishaps and injuries when I play the game.
9. My consoles would include every iteration of Sony consoles as well as the PSP. As for other gaming platforms other than the PlayStation brand, I intend on getting a Nintendo Wii as there are a lot of great GameCube games that I missed out on.
10. I also procrastinate a lot, and its BAD. How bad you ask, well I once did an assignment three hours before it was due. Suffice to say I did pretty bad and I have since started early on finishing them.
So there you have it, ten random facts about me that I hoped have shed a little insight into what goes in the mind of David Ick. And now, the following users have to write ten (or more) facts about them.
Here they are:

Move away Mario, Gordon Freeman has got the better of you!
Yep, not even the great and selfless plumber could pick up the plaudits as a certain individual has proven to be a thorn and obstacle for many. Long thought to be a forgone conclusion, many voters casted in their votes with the hopes that the usual suspects would bag the All Time Greatest Hero award, but it wasn't to be.
Saving the world from impending doom, Gordon Freeman deserves this illustrious award for he is an everyday man that stood up to adversity and overcame all odds that were stacked against him. The following are heroes that have fallen to his endeavors;
Bomberman
Yoshi
Solid Snake
Ryu
Samus Aran
Link
Mario
Better luck next time. To those of you that have voted, what did you make of the results and what surprised you most?
