Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Definitely seems to be a worthy sequel so far, but there's one minor thing that's really irking me. Every now and then I'll reach what seems to be a stealth segment, with Nate even muttering "Better do this quietly". But, despite that implication it seems getting spotted and having a large fight with enemies spawning everywhere is the only option. The one time I did manage to take out everyone quietly, the game refused to trigger the next cutscene, with my AI partner just sitting there doing nothing. Like, I know stealth wasn't a key point of the gameplay but, I feel.. I dunno, mislead. Maybe it's just my slight perfectionist instinct having just played through the Thief series.
Also played through Sonic CD on PSN today
The best thing it's got going for it is the music, really. The time travel gimmick is cool and all, but leaves the levels a nauseating clusterfuck. Wacky Workbench in particular just drives me nuts since I can't stand still for half a sec before getting shot to the ceiling at Mach 2. Stardust Speedway is also rather poorly executed in its gimmick I find. The famed Metal Sonic race ain't that great either. It's okay overall I s'pose, but now I'm definitely of the opinion that it's overrated.
