I will start out this review by saying that Naughty Dog has created what is easily among the worst games I have ever played. The gameplay and graphics in Uncharted are horrendous and the atmosphere is terrible. The controls are very loose and the story is lousy.
...That's what I WOULD say, if I were a guy who played the game in a mental asylum.
Because the truth is, Uncharted is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The gameplay and graphics in Uncharted are highly entertaining and beautiful, respectively. The atmosphere around you is so realistic, at times you think you could reach right into the TV and begin shooting pirates in the head alongside Nathan Drake. The controls are refined and are easy to use and the story- well now, the story is phenomenally genius.

OK. To sum up the story in a nutshell, Nathan Drake is an experienced treasure hunter searching for his famous pirate ancestor Sir Francis Drake's lost sunken ship on his return to Spain- and the treasure Francis Drake found on his journey. Also on the adventure is a huge army of ruthless pirates whom Drake owes money to, a smexy female reporter named Elena Fisher who...

On the right: "The Cow and Corset"

I know this review is a tad late but I've had a lot of stuff to do :S
Fable 2 is a third-person, action RPG based in the word of Albion, which is similar (even geographically) to Britain. This instalment is set in the 1700s(ish), which kind of put me off at first. I loved the first Fable and the semi-medieval feel of it. Though it may differ graphically to Fable 1, Fable 2 is still a very colourful, beautiful world (except the people, they could do with some major face-lifts)
Story-wise, you don't have to play the first game to get it, You'll find many books and quests which will tell you about what happened (also check out Tales Of Albion on the Lionhead website, 'tis an awesome read, yaaarr). Peter Molyneux, creator of Fable 1 & 2; made a big deal about wanting the players to feel loved/love via the video game. I won't say it went that far, but there were some moments when I really did care what happened in the game, and I think PM's vision of bringing emotion to video games has been a success. I was sad that - like it's predecessor - it was a rather short main story.

There is a game called "Fable 2" which comes out near the end of this year. The game is coming out on the Xbox 360 and the PC. Problem is, I don't have an Xbox 360, nor a powerful computer. I can't decide which I should do: buy a 360 or buy a PC.
And yes, there is a third option: just don't get it. But I have been waiting years for this game. I'm sure that this game will be worth buying because I have the prequel and I still play it even though I got it roughly 3 years ago
I have about £900 (maximum) to spend, I'm not sure how much that is in dollars, but I think a £ is worth double the amount of a $.
Seeing as Fable 2 is as new as a game can be, (not even out yet :P) I'd need quite a powerful computer to run it, so I'd probably be spending more money if I bought a new computer, but my current PC is about due for replacement anyway.
I'm also worried that the PC won't be able to do the online modes that are on the 360, but I'm not sure, seeing as the game is made by Microsoft it is probable the PC will have online stuff.
