weber_dubois22Drake's 3D three-quel hints at co-op coup...
Uncharted's presiding spirit isn't Nathan Drake, or Sully. It's not even the high-minded rewritings of great historical explorers such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Marco Polo. Nope, it's actually everyone's other favourite archaeologist, Dr Henry Walton 'Indiana' Jones. No great revelation, perhaps, but confirmation that Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - set in and among deserts, long-lost cities and fabled treasures - finally takes Drake to meet his maker face to face.
So, fortune and glory, kid, fortune and glory. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was unquestionably the game of 2009, taking an already finely honed cinematic template and ratcheting up the set-pieces and thrills to levels Spielberg would have been proud of. The third instalment follows this pattern, changing the setting and challenges that Drake faces while polishing the fundamental mechanics that have served the series so well. Almost sounds dull, doesn't it?
