The "Uncharted" Series - One of the Best PS3 Franchises


One of my favourite video game franchise is the Uncharted series. Made exclusive for the Playstation platform, the 3 PS3 games have movie qualify graphics and sound. I have played the 3 PS3 games and they are some of the best in the action-adventure genre. If you have played them, or the PSVita game of this franchise, please post your comments.

The Uncharted video game series is developed by Naughty Dog and and published by Sony for Playstation. It is a third-person shooter action-adventure series about treasure hunters Nathan “Nate” Drake and Victor Sullivan, and journalist Elena Fisher, who travel the world looking to uncover various historical mysteries.
The series includes the following three PS3 games::

Uncharted – Drake’s Fortune
            The journey of Nathan Drake, supposed descendant of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, as he seeks the lost treasure of El Dorado in South America. He is accompanied by Elena Fisher (a journalist) and Victor "Sully" Sullivan (his mentor and fellow treasure hunter). They are pursued by pirates led by Eddy Raja and later on by a group of mercenaries led by Gabriel Roman and Atoq Navarro.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
            Drake travels across Nepal and the Himalayas in a search for the lost city of Shambhala. In addition to Elena Fisher and Victor Sullivan, we meet new characters Chloe Frazer (a new love interest who has history with Drake), Harry Flynn (a shifty former partner of Drake's), and Zoran Lazarević, a Serbian war criminal and the game's main antagonist. This game also introduced the multiplayer mode to the series.





Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
            The story focuses on Nate's relationship with his mentor and father figure, Victor "Sully" Sullivan. Here he is searching for a legendary lost city that leads him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub' al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter (also known as “Iram of the Pillars” and the “Atlantis of the Sands”). Elena Fisher and Chloe Frazer feature again but with smaller roles, and the game introduces new characters such as Charlie Cutter and Salim, Nate's newest allies, and Katherine Marlowe, Talbot and Ramesses who serve as the game's main antagonists.




The series also includes Uncharted: Golden Abyss (for PS Vita); Uncharted: Fight for Fortune (an "action-adventure turn-based card game" for PS Vita); Uncharted: Drake’s Trail (now defunct online web game from 2007); Uncharted: Eye of Indra (a 4 part adventure series); Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (motion comic); Uncharted: Drake’s Journal – Inside the making of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (a behind-the-scenes book featuring motion capture); Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth (a novel). A comic book series and a movie are also in the works.

The All New DLC Pack (Revolution) for Black Ops 2

 
Hello All, Hope you had a very happy New Year. The last week of the holidays and the first week back to school was very busy, so I had to neglect my blog. Sorry.

Now back to the blog. There is an all new Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC map pack coming out on January 29th, first on Xbox 360. It has 4 new multiplayer maps, "Hydro", "Grind", "Downhill" and "Mirage" a new map called "Die Rise" and game mode called "Turned" for zombies and a brand new weapon called "The Peacekeeper" for multiplayer as well. Seasons Pass holders who buy this map pack will receive a free calling card in multiplayer mode. I have attached a video below for those who are interested. It provides a good review of this pack. I would probably wait for a while before getting this. How about you guys?  Will anyone buy this as soon as it comes out? Please post your comments.
