Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is the choice of both readers and the staff as the one to look forward to in 2011. Now since we’ve crossed that hurdle, the important question is why this PS3 exclusive beat out everything else on the horizon, including heavy hitters like Elder Scrolls V, Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War 3. Our in-house team of expert conspiracy theorists (read: hamsters on a wheel) have concluded that it could be due to these factors:
1. Rising prices of vegetables leaving our large herbivore population to look somewhere else for their fix. UC3’s graphics, we’re told, are good enough to eat.
2. Celebs going topless in print publications, causing people to fuss and fret over reading magazines as it would be taboo, and hoping that Elena does the same in UC3.
3. Dhoni’s poor captaincy which led to us not winning the Test series against South Africa has put people off cricket for life and look to UC3 for solace.
We soon decided that all of the above were rubbish. It’s obvious that everyone’s interested in Uncharted 3 because it’s the sequel to what is perhaps the most awarded game in this console generation, and Drake’s Deception seems likely to carry that forward.
