Uncharted 3


Date played: December 3rd and 4th
Platform: PS3
Time played: 110 minutes
Session fun rating: 9/10

I finally started the "real" game here, which means I started shooting bad guys in the face.  Our group went through the tunnel they found the last time I played and after a lot of platforming and pipe climbing, I reached a room full of treasures.  The nasty lady was there and she found out that the ring she has is a fake then stormed off.

We then stole the item, found a map with it and decided to head to France to find a chateau that Francis Drake wrote about.   It feels really good to be out of the darkness of the cave and out in a French forest.

As for the Chateau, well, it turns out it hid a bunch of underground passages and rooms filled with old relics and out of place puzzles.  We managed to find half of an amulet with crucial information on the lost city of sand but as we were heading out, the bad guys found us and set the Chateau on fire.  This is where I played the best part of the game so far, a daring escape from the flames and falling debris.  It's all so cinematic and exciting!
