Uncharted 2 was an incredible game, I got it release day based just on the reviews and reccomendation from my roommate who loved the original.

I played it all night, and then repeated that the next day, and the day after that. 3 days after release it was beaten and what an adventure.

The game is perfectly paced, changing up the style of gameplay very often, the shooting is fun and the climbing is rewarding with only rarely being frusterating. With a game that involves as much climbing as a prince of persia game that's not an easy task. I highly encourage anyone who's contemplating it to go out and grab a copy. Also, since I pre-ordered the game from EB and had a gaming gauruntee on it, I just returned the game for 100% refund after I beat it. The gaming gauruntee is basically a promise EB will give you that if you preorder a game which is going to be incredibly awesome and it's confident you won't dislike, you can return it opened within a week for a full refund. Yay for intensive free gaming.

Emblems are very unreliable. I watched all 3 days of E3 2009 live, got none of those emlems. I watched all 3 of the press converences live... only got the Nintendo Emblem. Voted in the Best of 2008 awards, didn't get that emblem (inquired to the mods about that later and they generously gave it to be about a half-year after the voting) and then I also voted in the webby awards for gamespot... no emblem there.

Gawd. I am proud of my emblem collection; but now I'm down 6 emblems just from this year =P

I'm aware that they do nothing of importance and are used for literally nothing but I like collecting them.

Quick update; I'm still alive, time's been getting eaten up by inFamous, registering for school and new girlfriend. Expect a full review for inFamous in a couple weeks once I platinum it. This is a game totally worth Plat-ing.

Also, I'm in need of a new alarm clock; but I want something interesting and funky. if you have any suggestions post em'. I'm going to be checking out eBay in the meantime.
