I don't even think they had polygons... Unless you count triangles and squares.

Trying to beat Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction before I buy any new games. As much as I want GT5 and Uncharted 2, I figure I should at least finish the ones I have already :sweat:

Hello, Gran Turismo 5 :mrgreen:

I'm just bummed that Nürburgring Nordschleife needs to be unlocked through GT Life mode in order to play it in Arcade mode. :(

So it all worked out, in a way. My brother buys Gran Turismo 5 and one of my old roommates has a copy of Uncharted 2 he'll let me borrow. I think I'm set for gaming during Winter Break :victory:

Made it to level 8 on GT5, completing the A license and working on the B still. Did beginner's level of the kart racing and the AMG challenge as well. Looks like I'll need to complete intermediate level for AMG in order to unlock Nurburgring for Arcade mode. Looking forward to doing some time trials with that.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Revealed

It looks like the rumors (and common sense) are panning out. Naughty Dog has revealed Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. The game, due out in late 2011, is set in the Arabian Peninsula.

According to the reveal at Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog, the story is focused on the relationship between Nathan Drake and his pal Victor "Sully" Sullivan. Of course, there's treasure, too. This time, our hero scours the Rub' al Khali Desert for a legendary lost city. Uncharted's co-president Evan Wells told EW that the desert setting was at least partially appealing because of the inherent difficulties in bringing it to players. "Wefre a bunch of nerds. We just look for something that will be a technical, artistic challenge, and allowed us to push into an area of the world and history wefve never tapped into before,h he said.

It looks as though multiplayer will continue to be a focus in Uncharted 3, both co-op and competitive. Wells says Naughty Dog wants to take on "the big boys" in the multiplayer space with this one, which could prove to be interesting. As far as the campaign goes, Drake has a few new tools at his disposal as well, including the ability to fight multiple enemies simultaneously and some new climbing capabilities.

Look for more info, including a release date and trailer, during this weekend's Spike VGAs, on Saturday, December 11, at 8 p.m. EST.
