We’re fairly confident that you, like us, have been obsessing about what the first DLC package for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves could consist of. Today, the news we’ve been anticipating has arrived, and we can finally check-out of the cognitive-behavioural therapy clinic (those sessions aren’t cheap, you know). Read more »

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves won Game of the Year (in addition to Best PS3 Game and Best Graphics, might we add) at this year's VGA, held on Friday night last week. Were we surprised? Not in the slightest. The game is, in all respects, absolutely superb.

It was no walk in the park, mind you. Naughty Dog’s third-person action epic was up against some of the most talked-about titles in PlayStation history: Ubisoft’s Assassin's Creed 2, Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Infinity Ward’s magnificent Modern Warfare 2 were all nominated for the prestigious award - and each stood a good chance of winning it, too.

So congratulations Naughty Dog! Now, if you haven't yet laid your hands on a copy of Nathan Drake’s latest adventure, you need to do one of two things: either 1) read this, or 2) arrange a consultation with a reputable psychologist at the earliest convenience. Call us biased, but we recommend option 1).

Just on the off chance that you didn't know, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves released in the US today, ending a painful wait for one of the most anticipated games of the year. Or, perhaps we should say, it ended the wait for those lucky Americans, but those of us who live here in the EU will have to continue our waiting for three more days. Three long, Nathan Drake-less days.

You can expect a review of the game as soon as possible (which may be sooner than you think), but we don't need to have played it to recommend it to you - so go and preorder it or something. Camp outside Game on Thursday night. Dive onto a truck that's delivering stock to Game in a high octane game-stealing mission. Actually, don't do that last one, it sounds dangerous and you can't possibly play the game if you lose your arms.

If you've been just dying to play that swanky Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer beta that most of us at PS3v have been shooting each other in, you're about to become a very happy bunny (or some other small, furry animal). The beta is now available to download from the Playstation Store. For everybody. It'll run until the game releases on 13th of October, giving you a good 13/14 days to play your adorable little gamer arse off. Go on, then, don't let us keep you.

There's nothing more to say, because you've probably already gone. I'll say something crazy and see if anybody notices; circular cabbages of healing +1.
