Ha! I remember that tease.

LEGO Hobbit was so cool. I want to finish it. Argh!!!

Cool. I'll friend you on PSN (I'm aiwithwarpdrive) and we can compare trophies. I'm not really actively hunting them though. But it's fun to look at.

The price hasn't moved much for SMG2. It's still $30.

The second just has more of everything. It's a visual feast too and delivers it's story in a seemless and exciting way. Uncharted 1 is clearly a game. U2? I'm not sure. Sometimes I think I'm in a movie, but then I'm doing things in it, so I guess it's a game. It blurs the lines much better.

I've played it several times. Just never finished it. 

Awe frickin' cool!!! I'll be following this.

I agree with all that. I felt the game shoehorned way too much gunplay into it. I mean, Naughty Dog is known for platforming games not shooters. I kept thinking it was another instance of the Call of Duty effect. COD is the biggest game, so now we have to put a lot of shooting into our game even though that's not what we do best. There could have been more exploration, harder puzzles and trickier platforming. I wanted more of that and less of the troublesome gunplay.

At one point the story was so similar to The Hobbit I almost laughed. They were looking at a map of a mountain through the light of a special torch where the treasure was and I immediately thought of the moon-letters, The Lonely Mountain and Smaug. I'm expecting a dragon in the last part of the game. Otherwise I'm going to be disappointed.

I'm finding it's not my favorite thing either. If the gunplay was just a little better, I'd love it, but it annoys me to no end.
