I received a nice surprise in the post today:

It’s a promotional pack for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune entitled The Chronicles of Sir Francis Drake. It came in what I first thought was a book but when I opened it up it only had a couple of pages about Sir Francis Drake.

When I looked a bit further, it was hollowed out and in it was what you see in the image above which are a map, a picture (not sure of what ), a page from Nathan Drake’s diary and a booklet about Uncharted.

Pretty cool, eh?

As you probably know, PAL PS3 owners couldn’t play the Uncharted demo that is on the NA PS Store, due to a bug.

Strangely, I was met with the black screen of doom when I tried the demo, not the “insert disc’ message. If you still want to try the demo before the game’s PAL launch then we still have 2 weeks to wait:

Sony Europe has confirmed that a playable demo of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, released on the US PSN Store yesterday, will hit UK PS3s on November 22.

I’m going to give the demo a miss now. I’m buying the game regardless, so when I play it, everything will be new and I won’t end up thinking “I’ve already done this on the demo”, like I did with R&C ToD.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Demo to hit PAL territories Nov 22nd

On the official PlayStation blog, Game Director Amy Hennig announced that a demo of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune will hit the NA PSN next Thursday (Nov 8th).

C&VG seem to think 4 levels will be available to explore. I hope that isn’t the case as I’d prefer not to have played through a decent sized portion of the game before I bought it.

If it is 4 levels then I will give the demo a miss. I want to experience things properly in the full game rather than have to wade through 4 levels I’ve already played to death via a demo.

That’s the problem with the web being such a big part of people’s lives today. So much info is revealed via videos, images and articles that by the time you get round to playing the actual game, there’s a good chance you’ve seen almost everything a game has to offer.

Here’s a new UT3 video I haven’t seen before. Looking good!
