Simply put, Uncharted is one of the few PS3 games worth shelling out the $50+ for. The graphics are top notch, the plot is incredibly rich, and the gameplay is dynamic throughout. If you're looking for replayability, there are quite a few skill points to acquire that will unlock tasty new skins and weapons for your second time through. The hidden treasures also make for a cool sidequest if you want to blaze through the plot points during your first run.

I didn't have enough money to go out and buy the game, but I rented it for three weeks and was loathe to take it back. If you're looking for an epic quest jam-packed with just about every adventure aspect that a game could offer, Uncharted is for you.

This one's kinda tough to consider, as I have never played either of the Ratchet and Clank or Jak and Daxter series. They simply looked too cartoony for my taste. I'm sure there are great and wonderful experiences I'm missing out on by choosing to not explore these titles, however, I find myself so unquestionably turned off by the prospect of playing them whenever I see a demo or a commercial that I don't foresee ever even giving them a try.

This limits my argument to Uncharted versus Resistance, which is also difficult. We're talking about two games that are quite possibly the best two PS3 releases to date. Resistance being the smooth, sexy FPS launch title that fundamentally served to pique people's interest in the PS3 to begin with and Uncharted serving up a leafy feast for the eyes while showcasing a revamped third-person battle system that is a definite departure from the run-n'-gun tactics of Lara Croft.

All I can really say is that RFOM fits right in with the other 72 FPS games that have been released for the PS3 since its launch. Not a whole lot of character development, but you get to use awesome weapons in ridiculously contrived battle situations.

Uncharted, however, was one of the most unique and well-rounded gaming experiences I've had on a console in a good while. The story is rich and unpredictable, the gameplay is wonderfully varied, and the graphics are some of the best I've seen on any system.

Regardless of how good Resistance 2 looks right now, I'm gonna have to go with Naughty Dog on this one. As long as they don't beat the series to death with 14 other sequels (a la Tomb Raider) then we have a definite winner on our hands.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I can't wait for the sequel to Uncharted. Resistance 2 also looks like it's going to more than make up for the very few shortcomings of the original.

I fail to see the excitement surrounding this Twisted Metal chatter, though. I can take it or leave it, really.
