The Games
There are currently five Uncharted games available for purchase ranging from the standard PlayStation games that began in 2007, to the PS Vita’s own Golden Abyss and the brand new Nathan Drake Collection until the fourth installment arrives next year. Each of these games pay close attention to story-line with thorough intent on keeping gamers on the edge of their seats. Gameplay is gripping, exciting, strategic and occasionally even frightening in places. Interestingly, Naughty Dog have kept the Uncharted series a PlayStation exclusive and dare we say we imagine it will definitely have helped to secure more customers for Sony. Unless the only game in the series you want to play is the Uncharted: Fight for Fortune card game, you’ll definitely need to grab yourself a PlayStation.
Tomb Raider graced our TV sets much earlier back in 1996 as an Eidos Interactive release before their acquisition by Square Enix. In what’s regarded as the ‘original’ series, there were also five games, until it attempted a modern twist and slightly redesigned Lara, along with a playable male sidekick, Kurtis, with The Angel of Darkness in 2003. After gamers retorted with negative reviews, developers got their thinking caps on and revealed another generation of Tomb Raider in 2006, Legend. Legend received moderate success along with Anniversary (a remake of the 1996 Tomb Raider) and Underworld and the three games even ended up being released as a trilogy collection. Then, in 2013 came the Tomb Raider we know now. The newest generation revealed Lara Croft as a much more ‘human’ character with gameplay not too far away from that of Uncharted. This series has been received very well so far, appealing to classic Tomb Raider fans as well as attracting many new ones, resulting in spin-offs being made including Relic Run available on mobile devices.
