Uncharted 2 has a release date + golden guns

[Green Man]

October 13th

It's a sign from Satan telling me to buy it.

Hang on, Nathan Drake! Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is almost here, with Sony confirming to us today that the Naughty Dog developed PlayStation 3 game will arrive in the U.S. on October 13th. Start planning your sick days/pre-orders accordingly.

Sony also released Uncharted 2's final box art, reminding us of Mr. Drake's expert ability to hang from ledges and platforms with just one hand. Combine that with his expertise at maintaining a shirt that's half-tucked, half-not and you'll see why the stubbly treasure hunter's adventures warranted a sequel.

Oh, and speaking of pre-orders, Sony laid out its retailer plans for a quartet of downloadable exclusives with Amazon.com, GameStop, Game Crazy and BestBuy. Golden guns, right after this.

Amazon.com

Wasn't there another game that had golden guns too? I'm like 100% sure that a recent game had them too but I cannot recall the name.

The guns are golden because gold is the only thing with intrinsic value.

Gears 2 did exactly the same thing

Hey look, Naughty Dog is cloning yet another design bullet point from a highly successful game instead of doing something new and interesting. whatashock.jpg

The Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta was a hell of a lot more fun than Gears Of War ever was.

I am going to make a game called HIPSTER ADVENTURER, about a sarcastic, Ryan Reynolds-esque hipster who scours the planet in search of precious vinyl records and fights Nazis... ironically.

How much Gears multiplayer did you actually play?  I wasn't the biggest fan of the competitive multiplayer, but Hoard mode gave me dozens of hours of great fun.

I hardly played Gears 2 online but Gears 1 was more fun than Uncharted 2 online.  I liked Uncharted 1 more than Gears 1, but the competitive multiplayer in the Uncharted 2 beta was just ok.  The coop was really fun, though.
