I have both 1 & 2 sitting on my shelf unopened.

I played Uncharted 1 when it first came out.  Unfortunately I lost my gamesave (and never got trophies) when I sold my PS3.

I want to play through Uncharted 1 again before playing Uncharted 2 ... but decided to play Mass Effect 2 instead.   :D

Unchartered 2 is the shizzle, never played 1.  For some reason I'm not even inclined to go get it, and usually I go get the originals to sequels that I like.

 ;D

I just popped it in to show everyone it was a real game.  Haven't actually unlocked any achievement on it yet.

I'll find some time to play it this weekend, and hopefully keep it at the top of my displayed games for a while to make everyone jealous.   ;)

it does look aweful and the animation is aweful and the sound, but it somehow is awesome at the same time .... like a bad movie that's so bad, it's good.
