Uncharted Golden Abyss

Date played: July 31st
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 9/10

Sully's here! I never thought he would show up but now he's riding shotgun with Drake, bringing with him a shitty canoe and losing his supplies and Drake's GPS. On the flip side, he also brought a grenade launcher!

Hey, the Vita takes screenshots! Hold PS button and Start at the same time.
The story progressed quite a bit with Chase now being the bad guy's hostage and Drake teaming up with Dante again. My favorite sections are when you have to navigate some platforms and shoot enemies at the same time. There was also a really cool chase sequence with Drake and Dante running from crumbling bridges and ledges, rigged with explosives by the enemy. I also enjoyed the slower paces canoe ride with Sully, it builds atmosphere. The game is getting better and better, it still makes me wonder how come the reviews were so negative...
