Another thing that impresses about Uncharted is the way enemies adapt and try to flank you.  I love when they try to smoke me out of an area.  I wont say it's the smartest AI in a game, but they do provide a challenge at times.

I see myself going back to collect the treasures for unlockables.  My treasure hunting skills have been unimpressive so far.  I might have about half of them by the end of the game.  Right now, I'm in chapter 9.

More U1 updates.  I'm kinda ashamed I haven't had a chance to finish this yet. It really has been that kind of week.  I just got past  a RE4 inspired area and was not expecting it at all.  I died a couple times in there because of the gameplay change up.  I'm at 90% and over eight hours, so I should be wrapping this game up this weekend.

MGS4?  I'm not feeling it right now.  I know I finished it when it came out, but I wanted to go through it more thoroughly and find as many items and secrets as possible.  Problem is, I'm not in a sneaking mood right now.  I'm in a run and gun mood, like Uncharted!

I can't wait to see these games on my HDTV tomorrow.

If someone makes a LBP2 level and sends it to me, can I play it on LBP?  And vice versa.  I'm guessing no.

The answer is no. The two groups are kept separately, though I would imagine anything from LBP1 could be played on LBP2, though not vice versa.

The credits roll on Uncharted!  This game was exhilarating at the end and never realy let up.  I'd easily give it about a 9.0, it was great, save for some control issues.

Good, throw the game away and start Uncharted 2. Nyaa

I got my HDTV!  A Samsung 40" 1080p.  It has to be said, BLU RAY LOOKS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!  I put in Inception and Toy Story 3 and the difference was jaw dropping.  I don't know how to deescribe the picture quality, it just looks more alive, like digital video quality.  No film grain at all.

Uncharted is incredibly detailed as well as Metal Gear to a lesser dergree.  I have a HDMI cable for the 360 but haven't checked out any games on there yet.  The only thing is I noticed screen tearing more in Uncharted now, which is slightly aggravating. I can't believe the difference. I am now truly a HD gamer now.

That's funny. The first game I tried on my HDTV was Metal Gear. Suddenly, I could read the text and all the details stood out incredibly!

Don't get me wrong, MGS cetainly benefits from the upgrade.  I just noticed more of a difference in Uncharted.  I think it's because Uncharted has the lush, detailed jungle environments for me to enjoy, while I'm in a part in MGS where it's just kinda flat terrain.  Actually being able to read the text is a huge benefit!  

Too bad the Wii looks so blurred on the TV. Sad  Any ideas on how to upgrade it?

Geek has a bunch of suggestions on that, if you PM him he might respond.  There are convertor boxes out there.  Best easiest solution is if your TV supports a 4:3 or "Panorama" mode, that helps.  You get used to it over time as well, it's not so bad, it's just never going to look as good as the HD consoles.

I also need to possibly get an HD box for cable.  TV shows looks like ass as well now.

If you don't have one already, get a component cable, and enable 480p widescreen in the Wii settings. It looks waaay better than the standard composite cable the Wii comes with. Night and day difference in sharpness and color, IMO.

Going to ruin my reputation and agree with that.
