All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. This...I did. Well doesn't that sound familiar!! On that, I hope y'all had a happy Halloween because it's going to get better as I tell you guys about one of the biggest games of the year and that is UNCHARTED 3!!!!! As you should already know, it is third-person action-adventure game in which we control the one and only Nathan Drake. And of course Drake will react to his surroundings depending on what's going on. His physical abilities have also returned (although they never left despite the fact that it seems he gains weight with each installment) along with some new abilities, like SWIMMING!! We could swim before but now Drake can actually go underwater to swim through obstacles (as seen in the demo at E3). Other new abilities include new hand-to-hand combat skills. This gives us new ways to kill our enemies using OUR BARE HANDS!!! We can take multiple enemies AT THE SAME TIME!! New stealth attacks too, like dropping from a ledge and landing on an enemy (like Assassin's Creed). And of course, like Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves, numerous treasures (including a strange relic) 
have been placed throughout the game for us to add to our collection. Also, what Uncharted would be complete without several puzzles placed mainly to PISS US OFF!!! (Although they're actually kinda fun and make complete sense.) Now for the story: Like its predecessors, it too opens with a quote, in this case it is the T. E. quote that is at the beginning of this post. The story itself revolves around the mystery of the "Iram of Pillars" which apparently is a lost city in the Rub' al Khali desert. Nate and Sully are meeting a man named "Talbot" who offered a large sum of cash for the ring that Nate wears around his neck, which of course belonged to Nate's ancestor Sir Francis Drake. Sully and Nate realize that the money is fake and they both fight their way out and end up in an alley nearby where they are subdued by Charlie Cutter before seeing Katherine Marlowe, the main antagonist and Talbot's client. She takes Drake's ring and as Nate begins to chase her, he is shot by Charlie and left in the alley. We then see a flashback to 20 years earlier where we see a young Nathan Drake and a younger Sully (who seemed to be working for Marlowe at the time). This flashback pretty much consists of Nathan stealing his ancestors ring from Marlowe along with some cipher disk but is then caught by Marlowe and her men. She forces him to hand over the cipher disk but basically says "Screw you lady!!" and flees with the ring. If you haven't realized it by now, the meeting with Talbot was a set up to steal Drake's ring back!! AAAARGGHHHH it escalates from there!!!!! And apparently Sir Francis Drake was commissioned by Elizabeth I to search for the lost city of Ubar. Now onto the multiplayer: Very similar to Among Thieves with competitive and CO-OP modes. Customization on characters and weapons have been added along with some funny ass new taunts like OH SNAP!!! Boosters have also returned and introducing....FREE-FOR-ALL!!!! NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE DRAKE, A PIRATE, ELENA, OR TALBOT, KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE!!! Ok...Oh and a cool new buddy system was added. This is where you are assigned a random teammate as a buddy whom you can respawn next to when possible. And now that the multiplayer is more accessible, which means we can join games in progress AND join two different accounts on the same PS3 system and play SPLIT SCREEN with a buddy or even a sibling!! AWESOMENESS!!!! 
OK people hope you enjoyed this I'm D.A.R. Jr. and this was Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception!!
MADDNESS APPROVES AND WISHES YOU LUCK!!!
