Uncharted 2 is out on PS3 and it’s awesome.
Metacritic had it scored at an astoundingly high 97% at one stage which pretty much means universal praise for the game.
After a few hours play, I can honestly say that Uncharted 2 is as good as the critics say. However, one feature that got me really excited that I hadn’t previously heard about was the game’s integration with Twitter.
At an AICC lunch last week, Tracey Fellows, Managing Director of Microsoft Australia spoke about how the future of gaming will be a deeper integration with social media e.g. accessing Facebook through Xbox Live instead of your browser. While what Uncharted 2 purports to do is still pretty in that it will be tweeting your progress through the game, when you are on multiplayer, etc. it is not hard to imagine the positive outcomes that could be generated by having an #UNCHARTED2 hashtag consistently trending for days or weeks.
For the moment, however, you can only setup your Twitter account as the service isn’t quite up and running yet. But if and when it does come to fruition, this could mean the start of a whole new level of integration between social media and gaming.
