Dave Oh Naughty Dog. You had all the pieces to make Uncharted the greatest gaming trilogy ever, and just fumbled it ever-so-slightly at the final hurdle. How can a game be so damn good, yet still feel lacking a little something? When it's part of a s...
One of the best examples of storytelling to date; good platforming and puzzling; epic level design with truly breathtaking vistas; truly brilliant voice acting and character interaction; answers many questions while throwing up a few new ones; Multiplayer and co-op are great fun...

Exciting and cinematic sequences; improved melee combat; great story and voice work; good puzzles; some of the best graphics seen on a PS3 thus far.
Freedom of movement in some areas also means you can lose sight of your objective in the heat of battle; some character models reused too often.
