Review: 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune'
Also quite forgiving are the puzzles presented during your adventure. You can usually get the answer by opening up Nate's journal, which makes the puzzles seem arbitrarily thrown in as a way to break up the action. Now the action is where this game really heats up. Rather than running and gunning, Uncharted's combat is more than a little similar to Gears of War's stop-and-pop system. Nate will press himself against walls or duck behind crates, only revealing himself to aim and shoot. Try to run around firing and you'll see the game over screen more than you'd like. The aiming works well and headshots are easily pulled off. Nate does have the option to engage in melee combat with the enemy, which amounts to timed combos. Don't attempt this when surrounded though as the other baddies don't wait for you to finish combos before firing shotguns at your head.
The big McMakeover
The US-based chain is now selling more burgers than at any time since it arrived in Britain 34 years ago. Last month, there were more than 88 million visits to its 1,200 high-street restaurants and drive-throughs in this country - 320,000 more people each day than in December 2006. Sales are growing almost as quickly as in the 80s boom, and this year will help fund a $2bn expansion around the globe. Its popularity and profits signal a remarkable comeback. At the end of the 1990s, the company - founded when Ray Kroc teamed up with Dick and Mac McDonald to open the Des Plaines restaurant in 1955 - was in trouble. Following the McLibel case, in which two environmental activists were sued by the coorporate giant and (in the end) won, its golden arches had become emblematic of all that was rotten in capitalism; an obesity crisis in the western world loomed large; there was disdain for the dead-end McJob; and Britain's BSE scare recruited an army of vegetarians.
