Broussard: Uncharted series “on par” with Half-Life

uncharted23

3D Realms’ George Broussard has pinned Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series up with the very best after playing the heavily-hyped second game.

“Amazing single player experiences,” he said, writing on the Shack forums.

“Nearly, if not, on par with Half-Life 1/2. I haven’t felt this giddy over a game series since Half-Life.

“This is epic badassery right here. Believe the hype.”

Uncharted 2 is on the verge of history, still being listed as the highest-rated PS3 exclusive of all time on Metacritic at 96 percent.

Take-Two Interactive has revealed via new court records that Gearbox Software was the developer for Duke Begins.

The game was originally revealed via a court filing by 3D Realms.

Duke Begins was apparently part of an agreement between Take-Two and 3D Realms in 2007 with Gearbox handling development.

Since all the court hoopla, the title has been sidelined “for the time being” but has not been canceled entirely, according to the new court documents.

Loads more regarding this over on Shack.
