UNCHARTED 3: FORTUNE HUNTER HYPE DAY 4 (PS3)

PS3

The UNCHARTED 3: FORTUNE HUNTER HYPE continues today as we are at day 4 with just under a week until UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION hits store shelves meaning that by this time next week, you'll still be shell-shocked staring at your tele looking like some zombie, with food crumbs all over the floor, soda sinking into the carpet and a foul stench emerging from your quarters from lack of air flow or a shower from the previous day as you've just completed the singleplayer campaign of the game and are still trying recover from such a mind blowing experience. Within a few hours, you'll probably come to back to reality and realize you've got to take a leak and scrounge up more food and drink because you've not even tapped multiplayer yet. Boy, what a trance to come out of.

But, now back to the present day. We know how pumped you are for the games release in just under that week and to get you all prepped up and fuel the flames of the fire and hype up this insanely amazing game even more causing you to tear the flesh from your face due to the anticipation of this game, we're getting you the hook up for day 4.

As we recall, yesterday it was all about Joan Wilder fighting through the jungles and small towns of Columbia in search of the kidnappers of her sister trading a treasure map for her sisters life getting the mix-up and bumping into Jack T. Colten whom was working to get the funds to get himself a beautiful looking boat and sail the world in complete bliss living life on the ocean, only to have his day ruined having run into a fierce leader whom he believes wants him dead and discovering even worse, that the Doobie Brother's broke up. We'd learned that Jack learned of a jewel that if he could find, thanks to Joan's map, that he could solve all his problems and free himself from the rock he'd be stranded on. "I should have listened to my mother." But, he'd learned he had to first convince Joan the value of the map she carried and get something out of it herself, as well as him gaining more than that small sum of cash of $375 Ms. Wilder had offered him. Now we know that Joan's sister has been saved, a hand was eaten by "man, what a snapper!" and Ira's looking at some jail time, Jack getting his boat, Joan meeting the man of her romantic novel dreams and the two sailing off down the streets of New York with a boat on a trailer following them.

Today, we're all about continuing that story but first, PlayStation Home is evolving and though it still has quite a ways to go, there's no denying the plethora of games available to play for free through the service. While last week, you were able to jump in and play through a wave of men collecting treasures as you go and taking out the bad guy in the Uncharted 3 PlayStation Home mini Fortune Hunter game, this week it continues and you can get a small taste of Uncharted 3 putting yourself, almost quite literally in Nathan Drake's shoes using your own avatar within the game. Its primitive, this we understand, but can still be some fun. Work your way up the leaderboards and meet certain criteria to unlock PlayStation Home items for your personal space and though you should have already, you can pre-order Uncharted 3 directly from your PlayStation 3.

So, today we're continuing the story right where we left off. Jack Colton finally has gotten his boat and Joan, the man of her dreams and they head off into the sunset. Here we are now, about six months later and Joan is beginning to get the itch suffering from writers-block and ready to return home to regather her thoughts but, Jack still wants to live out his dream of sailing around and seeing the world. During their own party, Joan is offered a job she can't turn down trying to fill that gap she's so for so long been longing for while Jack just doesn't agree. So, going their separate ways, Joan seeks the story of a lifetime while Jack, after losing something valuable heads off with.... Ralph? They head to Africa in search of the Jewel of the Nile bringing them more wealth than they'd ever dreamed of until something goes wrong and both parties much find each other and work together to find and save, the Jewel of the Nile.
