PAX 07: Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Hands On

More On: PAX 07
Uncharted:Drakes Fortune  was another game that I didn’t get to play at E3 although it wasn’t from a lack of trying.  Every time I tried to play the game some other journalist was cock blocking from getting my chance to playing Naughty Dog’s new game.  At PAX I was able to use the 30 minute head start afforded to the media to finally play the game.

Graphically the game is gorgeous but that much is understood from the screenshots and movies that are already available.  What I really found nice was the subtle sense of humor in the game.  In one part of the demo you have to hop out a window and walk around the outside of the building, as soon as you exit the windows and look down the side of the building the character mutters to himself “You’ve got to be kidding me” which I thought was funny.  There were some other cool moments as well but that just killed me.

I only play part of the demo but from what I saw I think there’s a lot of potential for the game.
