There's A Guy Above You! There's A Guy Below You!
Uncharted is a very short game! It only took me about ten hours of gameplay to complete, and I'm sure you can shave two or three hours off that time if you're better at aiming than I am, which is no large feat.
Still, I'm not complaining too much about the length, because:
a) it means it takes less time to reach the incredibly gorgeous final gunfight (on a ship! in the rain! at sunset!), and
b) I can now play Uncharted 2.
Here are my thoughts so far on Uncharted 2:
UNCHARTED 2 OPENS WITH NATHAN DRAKE ALL SEXILY COVERED IN HIS OWN BLOOD AND THEN FLASHES BACK TO NATHAN DRAKE ALL SEXILY BEING A CAT BURGLAR
THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME.
I am rather an inept sexy cat burglar, though. There was one part of the museum heist where I persisted in going the wrong way and getting caught about six times, despite the fact that Flynn clearly told me which way to go every time the checkpoint reloaded.
Also, I felt a bit bad about dragging Nathan out of his way through thick snow to grab some treasure when he was clearly seriously injured. Sorry, Nathan. Sparkly things override your wellbeing, particularly when your lack of wellbeing is sort of hot.
(I mentioned in my last entry that Nathan didn't particularly interest me as a character, but I have to confess that he became quite a bit more interesting to me the moment he started dragging himself painfully through a snowy train graveyard whilst covered in his own blood. I'm so shallow. And also possessed of slightly worrying tastes, it seems.
Elena is still my favourite Uncharted character so far, though. I cheered aloud at her magnificent kick in the helicopter scene. I'm hoping to see more of her. Bit wary of Chloe, because so far her characterisation seems to be 'SEXY!!!' (sexiness is fine (see above unsettling enthusing about Nathan's injuries), but it's not an adequate substitute for a personality; I doubt I'd have appreciated Nathan's injuries so much had his role consisted solely of writhing around and going 'LOOK AT HOW SEXILY INJURED I AM'), but I've only just met her, so who knows?

I have not played Dragon Age: Origins! Perhaps I should?

I cannot recommend Dragon Age enough XD It's a brilliant game. Thoroughly engaging. Also, there's a whole host of kinda shitty faux-British accents to mock! Which is always nice.
