Exclusive to PS3, the adventurous exploits of Nathan Drake hits the third chapter.

Covering 8 locations (incl London, France, Syria, Yemen, and a Colombian flashback) with almost two dozen chapters, what can be seen as a male version of Tomb Raider delivers a sprawling 3rd person action-adventure loaded with a variety of exciting situations for tense moments and thrills wrapped around the storyline of the Campaign mode. It involves the treasure hunt for a valuable item and the lost city Iram of the Pillars. Other modes include Multi-Player (on-line or LAN connected, incl. a buddy system) and Co-op (on-line or split screen with another PS Network friend).

Previous characters like Drake's partner Sullivan returns (and you get to find out how they connected), as well as Elena and Chloe. Clues and artifacts lead them on an exciting journey to many parts of the world, with ancient orders and villainous rivals standing in their way, dangerous situations in their quest leading to hand to hand combat, gun fights, perilous climbing & swinging, and the use of stealth when action is not called for.

From rooftops and deserts, to ships and airplanes, this should keep you occupied for some time. The game is also 3D compatible for those who've jacked up their gear in anticipation of this addition to the gaming realm.
