A game that takes aim at bigger screens

For decades, video game makers have suffered in the inevitable comparison with their Hollywood counterparts. For all the creative and technical wizardry associated with gaming, movies have had the interactive world just plain beat when it comes to sophistication of scope, characterization and visual storytelling. Not anymore. "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" is a major step forward for gaming. It's perhaps the best-looking game on any system, and no game yet has provided a more genuinely cinematic entertainment experience. Characters account and respond to every piece of geometry. Reviews have been more than kind with accolades like "plants sway as characters brush past them, reflections in the water dip and sway with the ripples, and Drake actually looks wet when he gets out of it". Gee, what more can you ask for?
