WELCOME

With a little over four months to go until the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , dipping into The Nathan Drake Collection to whet the old adventurous appetite is the perfect hors- d'oeuvre. So how does this remastered ternion stand up? Surprisingly well. Drake's Fortune , a game now eight years old, is the obvious weak link here. But furnished with 1080p Uncharted: The nathan drake collection

presentation and 60fps where possible, even this entry in the compelling Nathan Drake saga, looks mightily impressive. The characters, scenery, and the explosion effects have all been markedly improved, as have the controls that greatly benefit from being tightened. Subtle additions to the gameplay, such as implementing features used in the later games, works exceptionally well. Among Thieves holds up well and by the time Drake's Deception makes an appearance, it's hard to believe that this trilogy actually released on PS3. It doesn't matter whether you've played them before or it's your first time to the franchise, Naughty Dog's excellent adventure series deserves this new-gen interpretation. Sit back and enjoy playing through the evolution of one of the greatest series released on the PlayStation 3.

The white towers you saw on your PS2’s startup represented the games you played; the more towers you had, the more games there were, and their height reflected time spent playing. Indiana Jones’ remains can be found in Fallout: New
