It looks like GamesTM took down their review due to backlash over giving it a 9/10 when they listed almost no faults with the game.

Did you see the response to Eurogamer's review of Uncharted 3? They had to allow the game’s lead designer to respond on the site itself.

Does anyone know if your local gamestop shop will have a midnight release? I haven't called mine yet to see but the general consensus after looking through google is: nope.

The execution exhibits a kind of workmanship and polish way beyond the ambition of most other developers, let alone their abilities or budgets. As an expression of all that a video game could be, however, Uncharted 3 is narrow, focused and ultimately shallow. It is a majestic tribute to cinema, a movie game in the literal sense, and your enjoyment will be in precise step with your appreciation of that objective
that's exactly what i think on the previous games!! it's nice to see different oppinions on otherwise concensual media

Uncharted makes a great cinematic experience. As a game, it's very repetitive and tedious.

Unfortunately, this is how most of these types of games are. More focus on the cinematic storytelling and cutscenes, and less focus on the actual gameplay and level design. They might as well be called "interactive movies", cause they certainly aren't "games".

Nope a Interactive movie would be something along the lines of Heavy Rain or Indigo Prophesy.

Gamestop is too busy focusing on the self-proclaimed "most anticipated game in history," Modern Warfare 3. That and Skyrim. Meanwhile, we're all anticipating what many are proclaiming to be the best Zelda game ever made. I'll take that claim over "most anticipated" any day.

Well, yeah. Skyrim and MW3 will without a doubt sell more copies (if by nothing else than sheer virtue of being out on two platforms instead of one) than Zelda so of course they're going to focus more on that. They're a business
