Uncharted 1 can definitely be a bit of a grind. I happened to play it after the second and I was a bit dismayed by just how much fighting there was. Also, it doesn't get any easier as the game presses onward.

The enemies at the end are an absolute nightmare and all of the headshotting techniques you've perfected over time no longer do you much good. Pretty much every enemy in the game is a bullet sponge, but I'm glad to say that they really improved that the second time around.

Uncharted 2 is a MUCH better game all around and 3 continues that trend, even if it doesn't quite measure up to 2. There's more of all the stuff that makes the series great and less shooting. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of shooting there (probably just a bit more than there needs to be). All around though, it's much more evenhanded.

Very cool - I had a feeling based on your user name. I imagine it must be nice getting to spend days outside, at least when it's nice out. If you don't mind me asking, what are some of the things you do day to day?

Wow... that sucks man. Glad to hear that you caught that issue before it really ended poorly. Heart problems are scary stuff, my family has some bad history with them, so I'm hoping I'm not doomed for the same fate.

On a brighter note, thanks on the site, glad to have you here!

Happy birthday, sir! Perhaps I should avoid mentioning that you now have 20 years on me .

Retired!? Color me jealous. However, it's totally awesome that you can be home with your girls. Also metal is great and I'm glad you do those Metal Monday blogs - I need to start getting into some new stuff and that should definitely help.

I've got two boys (a 2 year old and a 2 month old) - Chessa is a stay-at-home mom right now, which I'm thankful for, but it sure would be nice for me to have some more time with them. Maybe if PixlBit really starts raking in cash I'll be able to work out of the house - that would be all sorts of fantastic.

Send me an email at nick at pixlbit dot com, and I'll shoot over your password. Sorry about that!

What he said.

Jason, you liar. You can actually make the images up to 640 pixels in width. That's the absolute max - at that width it consumes the entire width of the left side of the layout.

This review pretty much seals the deal for me. I'm definitely going to pick this up. Many of the reviews were middling, but it seems like a solid game if you can accept it for what it is. Considering my intense love for such types of games, this is no-brainer once I get settled into my new place.

Now everyone needs to stop commenting on Jason's episodes of PB & Jason or HIS ego is going to get inflated. Then I'll have to buy him a company car to keep him here and maybe even have another kid and name them after Jason, even if it's a girl.
