UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves in stores
Sony Computer Entertainment America has released UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves for the PlayStation 3. The sequel to Naughty Dog’s hit Unchartered, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves blends the art of cinema and action platformer and shooter action in an all new adventure involving Nathan Drake, big explosions, exploration, running and jumping, and good old fashioned spelunking (I might be bending the truth here, but you’ll figure that out after you buy the game, won’t you?). The game promises a story-driven single-player mode and competitive multiplayer and cooperative modes as well.
Be sure to check out Tom Chick’s excellent UNCHARTERED 2: Among Thieves Review for the real skinny on this first party title published by SCEA.

Sony E3 press conference wrap-up
Sony really had to bring out the big guns to top the games and the technology that Microsoft rolled out yesterday and it probably didn’t help that some of the juiciest information - including photos and video of the new PSP had been leaked by accident (or on purpose) by QORE. It was these worries in mind that Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton made his way to the Shrine Auditorium stage and opened the press conference.
After making a nervous joke about the PSP leak and his high level of nervousness, Tretton began talking about the PSP family and how it’s doing. The presentation would prove to be a roller coaster ride, filled with talk of sales figures, Hannah Montana and some very big surprises…
The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
