Uncharted is sort of platorming-tomb raider style combined with fist fights and gun play.

It is a very fun game thanks to the great characters
LBP is sort of a Mario made of cloth

Also very fun

Don't go near the latest Tomb Raider, it is disappointing.
Not awful, just not as good as it should be

really? i heard it had a few glitches but i thought i would try.......

Psps, in my opinion, aren't so great, the screen has constant glare and you always find yourself in the darkest corner of your house twisting into diffrent positions to stop the glare.

i did notice that. i have to put the blinds down to play!

by Guest on Fri 5 Dec 2008 - 23:27

I don't understand the obsession with gaming..........besides a few computer games that play every now and then.....I don't play video games anymore.....I mean I used to, ask Alice.....but now, I find them futile

They are entertaining, I play them for fun, for a challenge and to fend of the boredom.
The screen glare, you either alter the brightness or turn so that it is in your shadow

About Tomb Raider, heres what I wrote earlier on MG

About Tomb Raider. Its not a bad game, it just doesn't live up to the hype.
Story wise it is superb. It ties Legend, Anniversary together in an intriguing and exciting new plot which feels like an grandiose opera. This is helped by the fact that the levels are huge and jaw dropping. Especially towards the end where you get huge hammers smashing a causeway, that has to be at least 1km long, to bits. The graphics are lovely and the animations are more varied and improved that previous iterations.

However, all that said it does have some flaws. Pacing issues. You can go for hours without anything happening, then it'll all kick off at once, followed by long periods of nothing. And you can go through levels and levels without any human contact other than her muttering to herself a couple of times. What happened to the banter of Legend & Uncharted? A bit of character building through inane chatter never hurt anybody.
And whilst the graphics are pretty there are some flaws. The much touted fact that she gets dirty? Well she does, but if you die or there is a cut scene she will respawn clean as a whistle. Not much I know, but it is noticeable. It is also inconsistent. They have gone to lengths to disguise the path you travel, but that means you aren't sure where to jump and you'll spend several times throwing yourself into nothingness because of awful camera angles. And one ledge you will be able to climb on, and another you won't, and another you will, but you won't think you can because for some reason x has stopped working.
Increased moves? Well yeah, but they are all so perfect and artificial. Apart from the fact that they are impossible they look as though she is a robot. Repeating animations over & over again.
Combat is also poor. Point shoot for the 3 enemies in the level who spend there time running into walls. That cool adrenalin-headshot thing of Anniversary is gone, replaced by a fiddely button combo just to get into head shot mode.

Don't get me wrong. It isn't a bad game. It is by far the best Tomb Raider ever. However, after playing Uncharted this feels a bit.....well it doesn't quite live up to the hype or Uncharted. So get it, enjoy it and love it, just don't expect it to be as brilliant as you imagine it could.

Overall: 7/10

But they should have fixed the glare with a more powerful light, take for example the gamboySP
