This weekend I rented Uncharted 2. Dude, it's awesome. Right from the start the game grabs your attention, and so far it's been that way the whole time. I never got bored of the story. There are enough plot twists to keep you hooked. The dialog in the game is also very smart and charming. But I think the best part of the whole thing is that it never feels that you're taken out of the experience in a cut-scene. In fact, the whole game feels like an interactive cut-scene, and you do all the cool stuff in those cut-scenes. In some games, like *cough**cough* MGS4, it feels like it's taking you out of the experience just to get the story moving. That is not the case here. 
 
There are some problems, though. The platforming in the game is a little screwy. It is also unclear at times. I often wondered where exactly was I supposed to be going, and when I jumped to where I thought I should be going I usually died. It's crazy trial and error, and I feel like I spend way too long on the platforming bits then I should have. Also, those heavy armored dudes are really dumb. Their shot guns kill you in about two shots, and it takes a long time to get them down. 
 
But for me, the positives over-throw the negatives by a mile, and it makes the game really addicting. Shooting is fun is satisfying and fun, which make sense, because it's a shooter. Duh. The characters are lovable and the story is damn good. 
 
I haven't been playing anything else of note, and with that said, I gonna go play some more Uncharted. Peace.
