Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend launch in the US

brutaluncharted

It’s passed the Witching Hour all over America, and both Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Brutal Legend are now on sale Stateside.

Naughty Dog boss Evan Wells is pumped enough to be twitpiccing shots of a midnight launch queue in Culver City, while Mr Schafer just dropped word that he’s on his way to his local Gamestop.

The games are two of the most highly anticipated this holiday season, and reviews show why – Uncharted 2 is still the highest-rated PS3 exclusive ever. Brutal Legend’s first scores hit yesterday, but that chances of this not being worth your money are a tad remote.

Buy both. Go nuts. But whatever you go, buy both.

Uncharted 2 releases in mainland Europe tomorrow and the UK this Friday. Brutal Legend is available now in the UK.

DaMan, Yeah Tomb Raider Underworld sold that across the PS3/360/PS2/PC

That’s not actually impressive.

@ Hindle my point is that personally I would hate it if TR turned into a game like Uc. out of the recent TRs I enjoyed Legend the least because it was too much of a shooter. my opinion is that TR doesn’t need that stuff.

@ Pudding it’s not *that* impressive, but for a game like Underworld ( a game that deserves a 8/10 altogether )it’s healthy.

We’re going to be giving away four retail copies of Brutal Legend tomorrow. Two for 360 and two for PS3. All you’ll have to do to win is comment on the competition. I’ll give a copy away to whoever posts the 200th, 400th, 600th and 800th comment, alternating format.

In fact, shall I just post it now?

Pudding, N-Gage sold like 5 copies. seriously, it’s a dead platform.

Wii version sales were very low. let alone PS2, which wasn’t even a complete port. it sold ~1 million on 360 and ~1 on PS3, that’s good enough.

/puts bets on BDH being the 200th, 400th, 600th and 800th comments following an article about poor PC game sales due to piracy

DaMan

From what i gathered when i was playing Underworld and legend is that the combat was crap. Anniversery was brillaint in that you only spent like 10 per cent shooting the rest was platforming, thats what Tr needs to do is stick to its strenghths.

Id say there is room for both Uncharted and TR on the market in my opinion anyway but i was just saying before Eidios will be slightly nervous at the reception Uc has got.

DaMan, that would be good enoguh if it weren’t bullshit.

The platforms that costed the most to develop for return some of the least investment.

Per platform that is averaging about 350. And since the two HD platforms didn’t make it… Well The slack had to be made up somewhere else.

Perhaps the N-Gage.

it did ~1 on both consoles like I said, the rest were PC and DS/Wii/PS2 (which were very low).

I shall take that bet sir, but my money shall be on him blaming it on “pircay”, and I shall win it.
