Many of my friends have been asking me if the time is right for them to get a Sony Playstation 4 especially for casual gamers who did not spend much time on the Sony Playstation 2 or 3. One of the most common questions I get is;
“Are there enough games to play?”
I have no idea how fast you guys usually take to complete 1 game but my mantra with my consoles all these years has always been
“Too many games, too little time.”
Not only are there new games all the time but to make things better, Naughty Dog and Sony has just brought back “Uncharted, The Nathan Drake Collection.”
What is Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection?
If you are unfamiliar with Uncharted series, it is about Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter and his adventures. It was 1stintroduced on the Sony PS3 in 2007 and since then we have had 3 different installations.
Besides the gameplay and the engaging storyline, one of the things that I really like about Uncharted series is its controls. There are a lot of interesting games out there but awkward controls can really piss me off. This is not the case for the Uncharted Series.
Uncharted is really one of those series that can keep you at the edge of your sofa for a very long time since it is actually 3 games in 1. #BestBuyEver
So basically I am paying for some old games?

I don’t know about you but playing vintage games is one of those things I enjoy doing. Moreover for this series, I actually started on Uncharted 2 which means I totally missed part 1. So it is all good for me to start from Uncharted 1 this time round.
That’s not all. For Nathan Drake Collection, there are actually some improvements as well as new modes for those who have already played it.
In addition to the upgraded 1080p/60fps detail, there are 3 new modes in the game:
Explorer Mode:For beginners and casual gamers to step into Nathan’s shoes comfortably, where combat difficulty is reduced
Speed Run Mode: With a timer slapped on the game, speed runners can track how quickly they are making it through the game
Brutal Difficulty Mode:Unlocked only after finishing the game on Crushing mode, it is the toughest difficulty setting available to play on the game on. Recommended only for Uncharted pros. (Do you think you can handle it?)
Photo Mode: Using Photo Mode, freeze, edit, and share photos of your favorite Nathan Drake exploits and share them with friends using the PlayStation 4 share functionality. This is really one of my favourite modes. I love using this to take pictures and uploading them onto FB or Instagram later as well!

EXCLUSIVE Uncharted 4 BETA Access: Those who purchase the UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection receives exclusive access to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End multiplayer Beta version (while the Beta lasts).
New Trophies:Brand-new trophies created exclusively for UNCHARTED’s debut on the PS4 system.
