Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception once again proves that Naughty Dog's penchant of creating fantastic games still exists in spades, making them quite the task masters in such a cut throat industry. This year the video game industry is making all the headlines for all the right reason with release of some of the biggest games and Uncharted 3 is one of them. What sets 2011 apart from previous years as a watershed year for the industry is that quite a HUGE number of games are Game of the Year quality, that pitting these games against one another is a really tough proposition! The last time such a phenomena occurred was way back in 2004, but 2011 ekes out in front cause of the sheer number of quality games on show.
Uncharted 3: Drake Deception is a meticulously crafted, superbly paced, explosive action game with some incredible production values yet suffers from 'been there, done that' vibe which doesn't really bring the game down in any sense, but while playing it I could'nt shake the feeing of deja-vu. And because the game will inevitably be compared with the epic Hollywood-esque Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, that Uncharted 3 feels like a TV show isn't a damning indictment for the game but a glowing praise for it's prequel. Having said that, Drake's Deception may be epic-est TV show ever made if I may add! But by all accounts this is a game worthy of the Uncharted moniker and a fantastic action game on its own. My play time 8 hours 27 mins and my rating a 8.8/10.
