Oh I meant Uncharted 2, not "uncharted3" as I wrote previously. It really sets the standard for cinemativ single player gaming. First time I've seen where the acting was NOT tacked on at the last minute; usually in gaming it's some actor that reads his lines in a sound booth after the game's complete (some highly recognizable ones that phone it in). It's refreshing to see acting taken on at the same level as a mvie is--it's PART of the gamemaking process. It's like how pixar does its films, as opposed to jap animation where some dude reads his lines after animators with no acting experience do their work. It's really, really revolutionary. Uncharted2's written well too! And the gameplay, though the aiming's not as tight as some 3d person shooters, is really fun and polished. The whole game echoes attention to detail. astounding. Nitpicks stoundout for me simply because its soo close to movie level quality (ie. relatiely low res textures justaposed with high number of objects. it wouldnt even be noticble in other games to me, but its soo close to a movie i can't help but think of lesser games with more higher res textures. and jerky animation thats obviously mocapped is only a nitppick in this game for me because its soo close...)
Like hollywood, it seems theres an oscar season. SOme really, realy good games are out now. Batman Arkham Asylum I highly, highly reccomend too. The gameplay (fight mechanics, esp) is perfect. AND FORZA3!!!! again, I've slept less in the nights since its release on tuesday than i have played. It is beyond other racing sims for me (hyerbole, i know, but its true). GT5 has its work cut out for it. If you like cars at all, you owe yourself an xbox360 for the game alone.
