In other news though Uncharted 3 so far is an amazing game. If you own a PS3 give it a shot.

Uncharted 3 must have. To the 360 fanboys you owe to yourself to play this series

I'm not averse to picking up 3 but I really didn't think 2 was that great. 3 is basically the same right?

If you are a fan of that genre (Action-Tomb Raider type) I don't know how you could not have loved that game but to each is own.

The combat was mediocre at best: boring melee and cover mechanics that were closer to gta 4 than gears of war. The game was linear, there was only one way to get through each level or puzzle. And the story was not that great either. I don't think action-Tomb Raider is a genre, but if you compare 2 to other action games it falls short imo. Assassin's Creed II has better gameplay and a more open world, God of War and Bayonetta have superior combat systems, and Mass Effect 2 has an infinitely better story. Which is not to say that 2 was a bad game, but how can it be one of the best games of all time when it wasn't even one of the best games of its time?

Anyway, sounds like I should probably skip 3 given my opinion of 2.

I think you are in the minority in your opinion but you have a right to it.

Oh, no question about that. If we are going by consensus Uncharted 2 is top 5 games of all time. But is it fair to say I probably wouldn't like 3? It's not different than 2 right?

I think you answered your own question.

That series is one of the main reasons I own a ps3. I'm really looking forward to the originator of video game treasure hunting with the new Tomb Raider.
