My Billings Gazette

Let the Countdown Begin......

First let me say that this is my first blog entry with the Billings Gazette. My name is Kasey and I hope to be an active member in the My Billings Gazette community. Check out my profile to get to know me better.

Of course we are here for games right? Kudos to Kyle for his blog post last night regarding the midnight release for Batman Arkham Asylum. A true gamer will make a midnight release party for a upcoming title and take it a step furthur by winning a costume contest. I am going to have to match him on some sort of level and with some big titles coming up this fall, I will have my opportunities.  I have not yet picked up my copy of this surprising title, but the disc will spin in my PS3 here soon.

As I mentioned earlier, some big titles are hitting the shelves this fall. Recentely news leaked of Gran Turismo 5 getting a Q4 release date, http://ps3.ign.com/articles/101/1017326p1.html.

The title though that I am most excited for is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I believe this title will be a contender for Game of the Year awards come December and if you have not seen much from Naughty Dog's sequel, check out the latest trailer below from the GC 2009 conference.

Uncharted: Drakes fortune was a title with the PS3 that was under the radar as one of the best titles for the system. Myself included, did not know much about the game but heard great things about it. So recently I purchased the game at the greatest hits price of 29.99 and could not put the controller down. Aside from the great visuals, Uncharted offered a great "cinematic" type experience that does not come along often. You know, where you are actually interested in the storyline. It was like Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones. To learn more about the original title, check out the full video review below from IGN.

If you have yet to play this title, I would highly recommend giving it a shot. With the sequel hitting stores on October 13, you have plenty of time to get to know Nathan Drake and how climbing walls and killing pirates can be so much fun.
