Columbia Pictures have announced that a movie adaption of Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is in the works. It's being written by Kyle Ward (the man behind the upcoming game adaptations, Hitman 2 and Kane & Lynch) and produced by Charles Roven (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight).

A year or two ago when the Metal Gear Solid movie was announced I made an extensive list of casting ideas (which was read out on GameSpot's HotSpot podcast by Jeff when he was still there). So, I figured I'd have a go at Uncharted casting ideas as well. Below you'll see the characters names with the actors I think would be a good fit listed underneath.
Nathan Drake
Matthew Fox
Elana Fisher
Scarlett Johannson
Victor "Sully" Sullivan
Pierce Brosnan (look at him in The Matador - a perfect fit!)
Gabriel Roman
Alan Rickman
Atoq Navarro
A relatively new/unknown actor
Eddie Raja
Amaury Nolasco
My latest review (which has also been published on www.hookedgamers.com) is for inFamous on PlayStation 3 and you can find it here.
Feedback is much appreciated as always.
Having moved into a swanky new apartment a couple of weeks ago I decided the gaming setup needed some tweaking. The result of which is shown in the image below.

That's a 32" 1080p Samsung LCD with all of the current consoles hooked up. Some PS3 games under the TV and the orange crate contains about 30 Xbox 360 games The rest of my 250-ish strong collection is in some drawers in another part of the apartment, with some older games (Mega Drive etc.) remaining at my parents' house for now.
What kind of setups are you guys rocking?
My second published videogame review is up on HookedGamers.com. It's for Killzone 2 and you can find it here.
Any feedback is much appreciated!

8-bit meets HD in a remade classic

Drift into a sunny arcade classic.
(XBLM)
OutRun has long been one of SEGA's classic arcade racers alongside an impressive collection which includes games like Super Hang On, Crazy Taxi, Daytona and SEGA Rally. What makes it stand out from the rest of this mammoth portfolio is its complete polish and precision. This is one series that ...

A nice piece of nostalgia for Sega fans

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is a compilation of 49 first-party games released for the Sega Genesis console in the 1980s and ‘90s. The major selling point, as the title suggests, is that the collection contains emulations of all of the Sonic The Hedgehog games released on the system, including Spinball ...

Great premise that is never completely fulfilled
(PS3)
The original Resistance: Fall of Man was a flagship PS3 launch title for Sony. The sequel comes at a time when the market's most expensive system is crying out for another killer-app in the wake of the astounding Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots. Does Resistance 2 fit ...
