Special Edition Podcast: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Sometimes, a review just isn’t enough – even a review that hands out two perfect 10s. In honor of Naughty Dog’s epic Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Game Informer editors Andy Reiner and Matt Helgeson decided they needed yet another outlet for their love of the game. In what we hope is the first of many special edition podcasts, Reiner and Matt get their fanboy on, waxing effusive on the game’s amazing storytelling, gameplay, production values, and multiplayer action. The episode also features music from the game’s soundtrack, written by Firefly composer Greg Edmonson.

Uncharted 2 - 9.7/10 based on 121 reviews

http://www.n4g.com/PS3/games/g-343455/tt/metareviews.aspx

one of the highest rated games in history? :O

Yep. Cant wait to get my hands on this one.

 

[LaneDS]

Is that even possible? Are there 24-hour Targets?

Oh, I just assume Walmart and Target were pretty similar. Guess not!

I'll probably go in the morning and sleep like a normal person. But again, if you're in the Fairfax, VA area and planned to hit Gamestop, call them to check if they're going to be open.

 

[Wario64]

Super Targets (I think)

 

[JumpJeff84]

Played through the first Uncharted over the weekend. Man, that game still holds up real well even two years later.

Really excited for part 2...

 

[XxBigP123xX]

Just redeemed my revenge booster code from gamestop.

WOW

 

[Kagari]

I wonder if Meijer will have it out tonight

 

[Snuggles]

Fuuuuck yeaaaaah! Just called my GameStop to see if they´re doing a midnight launch, even though the store is not listed on the "midnight launches" list on their website, and they're doing it.

Fuuuuck yeaaaaah!

Just wanted to thank you for the post...mine wasn't listed, but I read this and thought I should give em a call and sure enough, they're doing one. I'll be able to swing by right after work and play some Uncharted tonight!

 

[careksims]

Okay those guys at Amazon are fast. I just pre-ordered today and they just shipped my Uncharted 2. Whooo hooo!

 

[bardia]

14 more hours till my EB opens !!!

 

[Prezhulio]

please don't require a signature ups, please don't require a signature ups, please don't require a signature ups...


people really are clamoring about this game it seems, had a ps3less friend who played the first one on mine call and ask if i had preordered it.

 

[BobTheFork]

welp, took a nap and it's still too early to go down there. I think I'll leave in an hour, get a beer and a sandwich at Old chicago, then go down and see it they are giving away any prizes

 

[How About No]

Fuck my school group project obligations I'm playin' me some Uncharted tomorrow afternoon!

Screw you interest groups and their effects on government!

 

[reKon]

it's almost 9 pm est and my Uncharted 2 hasn't shipped from amazon. What the fuck amazon? My future game of the year needs (and maybe gen) needs to be at my apartment so I can play after classes!

 

[LaneDS]

Yeah, so I called some other Gamestops in my area, and they are doing the midnight opening. Which means the employees at the Fairfax, VA one lied to my face about the district not doing the midnight launch thing anymore. Pretty awesome.

 

[Greg]

Damn, I have 6 tests this week... not even worth getting the game until Friday night when I'm off campus.

 

[Lord Error]

Little PS3 blip sequence at the end of that looks really good.

 

[RoboPlato]

Tomorrow I have to get through work, meeting my girlfriend's mom, and class then I can play Uncharted 2 the rest of the day. It's going to be an eternity waiting through that.

 

[alr1ght]

Promo pre-order codes are now working!

 

[BobTheFork]

Damn, I have 6 tests this week... not even worth getting the game until Friday night when I'm off campus.

least you are getting it. I think he who shall not be named isn't picking it up : (
I wanted co-op

 

[Killthee]

gg Gribbix, Killthee...holy revivals at the end, lol

I'll be on later tonight

I was freaking out in that one round you both died and left me alone with the shotty whore. I kept hearing him get closer and closer screaming "He's down here!", but I couldn't pinpoint him :lol

 

[RoboPlato]

Promo pre-order codes are now working!

Did the one I sent you work?

 

[dskillzhtown]

Yeah, so I called some other Gamestops in my area, and they are doing the midnight opening. Which means the employees at the Fairfax, VA one lied to my face about the district not doing the midnight launch thing anymore. Pretty awesome.

Seems there are a very limited number of midnight openings for this.

Walmart is always a good option.

 

[RoboPlato]

Seems there are a very limited number of midnight openings for this.

I think it's only about 800 stores. ODST was pretty much every Gamestop.

 

[Manus]

Man I cannot wait to get this tomorrow. I'm sick and staying home from school so I get to play all day.

 

[Kagari]

Seems there are a very limited number of midnight openings for this.

Walmart is always a good option.

Only around 25% of gamestops are even doing it.

 

[LaneDS]

Seems there are a very limited number of midnight openings for this.

True, but this is the store that called and texted folks yesterday encouraging them to show up with trade-ins at 12:01a.m., and then for whatever reason had to lie to my face about their decision to not open at midnight (without informing any customers about the change).

Not a big deal really, just typical shady business from my local good ol' Gamestop.

 

[alr1ght]

Did the one I sent you work?

yes! ty

The stuff is obviously on disc (gold guns). Both were 312kb.

 

[RoboPlato]

yes! ty

The stuff is obviously on disc (gold guns). Both were 312kb.

Not surprising, especially with the Revenge Booster. It still astounds me how ugly those golden guns are. :lol

 

[Greg]

:lol

Yeah, hopefully I'll have the cash - no way I can pass up an Uncharted game after how great the first was. I've been so broke... I think this will be my only purchase this year besides KZ2.

The song that plays during Uncharted 2's ending credits sounds amazing.

 

[Replicant]

FFFFFFUUUUUU

Someone in Europe already got their Limited Edition steelbox. Damn it, Australia, release this thing NOW!!!

 

[neojubei]

JEALOUS!!! Wants it soooo badly.

 

[Ten-Song]

Woooo! I was bummed because I have like no spare cash, so I was ready to go Uncharted-less, but it seems I should be getting a copy tomorrow as a gift from a friend. FUCK YES!

 

[blehh]

i caved. i was planning on getting uncharted 2 through the Toys R Us deal but i got really bored today. one quick stop to my local indie game shop and twenty minutes later i have the game right here. now to go blow my mind for the next 6 hours or so.

 

[devilchicken]

This sucks, gamefly has already mailed my copy of U2 but there's also a gamestop that i could buy it from at midnight tonight. I'd be saving about $20 if i buy it from gamefly, but that would mean waiting til at least wednesday.. and im not sure if i'll be able to hold off until then to play it.
What to do.. what to do..

 

[bernardobri]

Amazing game so far (Chap. 17)

Spoiler

It's a shame Cameraman was killed :<

By the way, I redeemed already Navarro's code, going to use him online after I finish the game

 

[theignoramus]

I can't play Uncharted 2 until Thursday morning, so I'm gunna play Uncharted 1 and Killzone 2 campaigns while I wait. I want to compare 2007 Naughty Dog and 2009 Guerrilla Games with 2009 Naughty Dog.

 

[renzengeki]

Yeah.

wooooohooo! awesome!!! thanks

I love steelbook cases. Shame North America didn't get anything like that.

 

[ZROCOOL]

I'm an idiot for not pre-ordering at GS. =|

Fuuuuuuu.gif

 

[neojubei]

I love steelbook cases. Shame North America didn't get anything like that.

Yea tell me about it. Why does Europe get special editions of Sony games? The only special edition we got was the Resistance 2 one, not even the Killzone 2 one.

I'm an idiot for not pre-ordering at GS. =|

I'm sure Sony will ship enough copies.

 

[careksims]

Damn they get a steel box? This game screams for a CE for NA

 

[Kittonwy]

Indeed, Well deserved!! Godly Game of the Year.

U mean Kittonwy's Game of The Year.

 

[BobTheFork]

apparently I'm using the slowest video converter ever created. I really wanted some ATHF eps to watch while in line. Now I have to start a fight to pas time.

 

[neojubei]

Anyone taking pics at the midnight launch? Wonder if Gamestop will give out some goodies.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Yea tell me about it. Why does Europe get special editions of Sony games? The only special edition we got was the Resistance 2 one, not even the Killzone 2 one.




I'm sure Sony will ship enough copies.

I should have put: Because Hastings isn't doing a midnight release.
