I recently played through Uncharted 2: Among thieves developed by Naughty Dog. The game is simply stunning, in my mind worth the purchase of a PS3 in order to experience.
While derivative of many other titles such as Gears of War, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, everything in the game is done as well or better than its been done before. There is such variety in game play & location, the icy area shown above is but a short chapter. Though the game pushes you along I often found myself stopping to marvel at the accomplishments of the art team. Each location is densely filled with foliage, or debris and detail. Its the first game I’ve seen where a blend between different material types is seamless in places, plaster through to broken bricks for example.
