Exploring The Full History Of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves | Video Gameography

After tackling Metroid in season 1 and then Halo in season 2, Game Informer“Uncharted” is the focus of’s Video Gameography podcast. Last week, we kicked things off with Drake’s Fortune, and now we move on to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the superb sequel that catapulted the franchise into the stratosphere.  

Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves was launched on October 13, 2009. This launch came just two years after Drake’s Fortune. Naughty Dog was able to build the game’s equivalent to a blockbuster summer movie from this solid base. That included eschewing cutscene setpieces in favor of technically impressive gameplay moments that still offered control over the action, such as the game’s famous train sequence. The writing and characters shone even brighter, from Nate himself to newcomer Chloe Frazer to everyone’s favorite girl next door, Elena Fischer. Uncharted 2 also introduced a surprisingly solid multiplayer mode, rounding out a stellar package that went on to win numerous Game of the Year awards (ours included).
