PS3 : Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves



Featuring game of the Month of October ( No Joke! ,probably Game of the Year 09) , PS3 : Uncharted 2 ~ Among Thieves. IGN gave it a whopping score of 9.5/10 . This time, the developer Naughty Dog has include Multiplayer mode which is not included in Uncharted 1 to increase endless replayability. It has multiple difficulty mode setting ranging from "Super Easy" to Crushing Mode". I would like to retain this blog spoiler free, not to go thru the Story Mode. Its all about Nate's Adventure.. hereby, i 've attached several screenshot which i've captured during my gameplay ~



My first impression of Uncharted 2 is jaw dropping , and i amazed with the detailed graphics and exciting gameplay experience. The BGM sound delivers extremely good quality sound adjustable from Stereo to PCM 5.1/7.1 sound mode. I hardly wanted to put down my PS3 controller until i've completed that particular single Chapter. Wonder how many chapters ? Here is no spoiler ! if you own a PS3, you just gotta buy *even without eating lunch for a week/snatch/rob *juz j'king to PLAY it .... ! Just to convince you again , i'll attached a trailer of Uncharted 2 video from YouTube.

The PSP Go has been launched in US & EU on 1st Oct, 09. Glad that i able to attain a PSP. go at the same time not in US or EU but in Malaysia ! Yes, it is indeed quite suprising.. thanks to our local gaming retailer, PlayTime.

The PSP go comes in two(2) colors variation either black or pearl white. i'd chosen the pearl white unit, which dazzles everyone who sees it :) The PSP go package consist of the Main unit, , AC Cord (100-240V), AC Cable, USB Cable, CD Rom and 1 set of printed materials.

Well, what are the form factor which makes me choose PSP go

1) The form factor
2) Internal built-in 16gb memory
3) Bright screen
4) The Design
5) Direct content DL thru PSN

The unit is solid & well built despite its size and weight. The mechanism of slide works well, indeed very smooth. The PSP go fits well at least for my hand (considerably small size). Physically, there is no UMD drive, and a little scale-down screen compared to the PSP. The functions are similiar.

Upon powering up, the display screen is very well lit-up around the screen. Scrolling down further and gives me a shock is it doesn't comes with ANY full-playable games .Before log-in into PSN, it prompts for an update ~the WIFI works well and suprisingly the system update takes about 2-3 minutes only. There are a range of variety for DL especially from US PSN from the PSP Category and PS Classic. For this particular month of Oct, PSP -God of War,(1.2gb) for 15.99 - will be my first digital content. if i could get 5 users to share, it is indeed very affordable.



My first PSP digital content : God of War.

There are 3 methods for content transfer to the PSP go.

1) Direct download from PSP go thru the pSN channel.
2) MediaGo direct software from PC to PSP go.
3) Direct download with Ps3 and transfer it to the PSP go (my preferable method)

Disadvantage of :
Method 1 is slow.
Method 2, after DL the file doesn't save into the PC, it needs to seek connectivity with PSP go.

Advantage of
Method 3 : Fast & the file resides in the PS3 until it is ready for install/transfer.

For a rough est. 1.5 hour to dl about 1.2gb with 512 Streamyx broadband w/ pS3 connectivity. The installation takes about 2-3 minutes which is considerably fast for a file which is almost 1gb.

Now the GOW is ready.
Will further update about my impression of the PSP go.
