Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is the latest installment in Naughty Dog's Uncharted franchise, but it is not what you might expect; it's a card game. Retailing for $4.99 on PSN for the Playstation Vita portable, Fight for Fortune can be had as a standalone game, but is at its best as a supplement to Drake's more traditional outing on the Vita, Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

If you are intimidated by the depth of card games, fear not; the developers have implemented a really easy learning curve. The eight-hour single player features characters from Drake's Fortune, Eye of Indra, and Golden Abyss. Expansion packs are available for $2.99 to add cards from Among Thieves and Drake's Deception.

Uncharted: Fight for Fortune was only officially revealed this morning, but already the "fanbase" is up in arms and inconsolable at the idea that a spin-off game would dare to actually spin off from something. THE VERY IDEA!

At the time of writing, the Youtube upload of the game's trailer has 67 Likes to 124 Dislikes (Update: 225 Likes/583 Dislikes), and comments of outrage are pouring in. Sony's been accused of destroying its product, and wasting time that could have been spent on a Golden Abyss sequel. You already know what we did. Yep, we put our special JOURNALISM hats on and culled the very best comments from the video, displayed below for your sexual pleasure. Enjoy!

Chris Reese, co-director of Uncharted: Golden Abyss studio Bend Studio, which created Fight for Fortune with co-dev One Loop Games, describes the upcoming release as an action-adventure turn-based card game featuring the heroes and villains of the Uncharted universe.

Set for release on December 4 via the PlayStation Store for $4.99 in the US (Euro details to be confirmed), it's a standalone title which can also be linked up to Golden Abyss, with an upcoming patch for the Vita launch game enabling users to "power up the artefacts" they've collected for immediate use within Fight for Fortune.
