Uncharted 3 In Development? (PS3 Rumour)
January 18, 2010
It’s officially…unofficial. Uncharted 3 is going to be hitting the PS3 perhaps sooner than we thought.
Nolan North who is the voice and the mo-cap actor for Nathan Drake, the star of Uncharted in case you were wondering, has said that he’s back this year working on Uncharted 3. Following on from the impressive Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and the amazing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, why wouldn’t Naughty Dog bring us another Uncharted? It’s immensely entertaining, immensely popular, so it’d be stupid not to make another.

Since I completed Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, I’ve been dying to get my hands on the sequel which was finally released at the end of 2009. It took me a while to get my hands on a copy, but thanks to Santa, I’ve now had my Uncharted 2: Among Thieves fix and am eagerly awaiting the 3rd instalment of Drakes’ adventures.
Uncharted 2 has been something else that everyone has been raving about and calling it the best game of the year and giving it high marks and I can see why. It really is like being involved in a blockbuster film at times and it’s great to watch. But you have to remember that you’re still playing a game otherwise you’ll end up getting Drake killed for the umpteenth time.
The story is set not too long after the events of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Sully’s gone into retirement and Elena has become a professional broadcaster. But of course Drake is still on his adventures and it’s not long before he gets enticed into another one. This time around, Drake is after something called the Cintamani Stone and was allegedly found by Marco Polo the world renowned explorer in Shambhala (or Shangri-La).

November 8, 2009
So as you know, we here on Zath have recently attended the Eurogamer Expo’s in Leeds and London and we’ve played a few games that were there on show and I thought I’d share with you a few of the games that we managed to get our hands on this year.
Uncharted 2 (PS3)
First up is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. After playing the first Uncharted I was expecting this to be just as good if not better and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I had played on the Uncharted 2 multiplayer BETA version before the expo, but the demos on show were the single player versions and it was brilliant.
Eurogamer Expo 2009 Review (London Gaming Show)
November 2, 2009
Here at Zath we like to do things properly, so when we thought we’d check out the Eurogamer Expo 2009 not only did a couple of us visit the Leeds gaming show but I headed off down to London to get a fuller picture of what was at the Eurogamer’s gaming show and see some of the things that the others didn’t have time to investigate.
So after a relatively quick train ride next to a man talking to his watch (the downside of putting phones on your wrist), I like my Zath counterparts, entered the Eurogamer Expo 2009 this time housed in the Old Billingsgate just a few hundred meters down the river from Tower Bridge and I have to say I too was impressed!

October 30, 2009
Eurogamer Expo 2009 (Leeds) was our first venture out into the world of gaming shows and we were both quite impressed with what was on offer, so here’s a quick review about what we saw.
There were a few games that I was dying to play and some that I was mightily surprised with once I had some hands on time with them. Upon our arrival we were shocked to see the size of the queue that surrounded the building. Luckily we managed to take advantage of our press passes and jump straight through without having to wait for hours to get in.

October 23, 2009
The time is almost upon us. The Eurogamer Expo 2009 kicks off next Tuesday 27th October at The Royal Armouries in Leeds for 2 days before heading down to London on the 30th and 31st October.
Here at Zath, we’ll have our avid gamers at both conventions to hopefully get our hands on some of the best upcoming games, and even some titles that have just been released such as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which is the one I’ll be lining for first as I still don’t have my copy.

September 22, 2009
Ever since playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, I’ve been dying to get my hands on a sequel, which is why I added it in my Top 10 Most Wanted Games of 2009, and that time is nearly upon us. But in the meantime I’ve been lucky enough to bag myself a code for the Uncharted 2 online multiplayer closed BETA.
There were only 14,000 codes given out to UK users to test their treasure hunter skills against each other until 12th October 2009 which is when the BETA shuts down.
When starting the game there was a small menu for me to either start playing online, watch the trailer or change the options. Upon looking further into the options, I found that I was able to link Uncharted 2 to my twitter account so that it updates your status. You can turn these on or off in the menu, but if you switch them all on, your status will update when you do the following:

August 12, 2009
The summer, traditionally a quiet time for games, so here at Zath, we’ve been looking forward to lots of upcoming games that are in store for us in the coming months, here’s a the list of the 10 games that I’m personally looking forward to playing the most of all in the next few months.
There aren’t any Wii exclusives on my list as there really isn’t anything for me to get really excited over at the minute. There are good games coming out like Red Steel 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wii, but they just don’t excite me as much as the list I’ve produced below.
So, here are the top 10 games I’m most excited about, in no particular order…

June 27, 2009
Normally, films made from games are some of the worst ever made, which is why this news is a little bittersweet.
Uncharted is the hugely popular game on the Playstation 3 and was developed by Naughty Dog. The first game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is one of the best games I’ve ever played, and with Uncharted: Among Thieves due for release towards the end of the year, things are looking up for Naughty Dog’s Nathan Drake.
Now with the announcement of the film, one can only wonder whether or not they’re going to screw this one up as well.

January 5, 2009
Whilst browsing the web at work today (because I’m just that busy), I came across the recent list of when and what PS3 games are being released in 2009.
As you may have gathered, after scrolling about three quarters down the page, I saw the title ‘Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier’ and I made the whole office jump when I screamed “YEAH BABY!!” at the top of my voice. It was however, on the US list, but NOT the UK list. No surprise there then. But I can’t seeing it being that far behind the US release.
