Everyone’s favourite action adventure game for the PS3 has been updated again, adding in some minor but worth noting features.

Again Naughty Dog has improved the online multiplayer experience further, which should make many fans very happy.

Naughty Dog has announced that this Friday, players of Uncharted 2 will receieve a free patch for the game, and in the patch is a map!

They are setting off the first DLC in the form of “The Fort” map for free. This is said to be based upon the “Fortress” chapter in the first game.

We hate plug-pullers*. Really, if there was one practice we’d like to abolish from online gaming, this would be it.

Many studios are now implementing “penalties” for leaving a game early, the latest being Naughty Dog who are dishing out hefty 40,000 fines for players who mysteriously vanish from the fray.

Replying to comments over on the official Naughty Dog forums from players who deem this penalty to be “unfair” and “excessive”, Naughty Dog’s Arne Meyer believes the studio are following the correct path in order to keep the game honest for everyone.

Not prepared to wait on previously attached screenwriter Kyle Ward and his other game-to-screen adaptations, LatinoReview have reported that the producers of the upcoming Uncharted movie are now circling new writers.

Favourites for the gig are Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer who are in talks to pen the first of what will surely be many Drake adventures on the big screen.

Naughty Dog are delighted that so many of us are enjoying their latest game, Uncharted 2, and so who better for them to go to when looking for advise?

The list of tweaks are as follows…

Uncharted 2 is without question our favourite game of the year, and even for the whole PS3 lifetime, so far.

It’s so good that it has surpassed the expectations held by developers Naughty Dog.

A warm welcome to another Homerun this week with lots of news and views on the new content to arrive for PlayStation Home.

There is a ton of new things arriving on Friday – yes that’s right a day late – so we’ll go straight into it shall we?

This is a bit of a surprise, but a very welcomed one! IGN has just posted a motion comic version of the original Uncharted’s opening sequence!

You know what the cool thing is? This isn’t even the motion comic that is releasing Thursday on the PSN, it’s a different one!

El “God Damn” Dorado!

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves picks up the story of PS3 poster-boy, Nathan ‘Nate’ Drake, roughly two years after the events of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Similar to the previous story, this new adventure revolves around an unsolved historical mystery.

Instead of searching for the gold of El Dorado, this time Nate’s travels take him along the path of Marco Polo’s doomed voyage home from China in 1292. You see, Polo departed with 14 ships and over 600 passengers and crew, but when he arrived at his destination a year and a half later only one ship remained and only 18 of the passengers had survived.

Although Marco Polo described almost every other aspect of his journeys in minute detail he never revealed what happened to the ships that were lost, and it is this fact that drives Drake and his cohorts forward towards the treasure, and the truth.

If you thought the first commercial for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was good, then prepare to be amazed by these 15 seconds of greatness.

A few members of the Naughty Dog development team took the time to answer some questions on the PlayStation.Blog the other day.

In addition, they announced that an Uncharted prequel is going to be released as a motion comic featuring the very same voice actors from both games.

Remember the Fortune Hunter Edition extravaganza we mentioned that occurred this past weekend?

Well, we hope you logged into the Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo within the last 3 days, because the servers are now closed.

Don’t worry though, there are more chances to win. Make sure you have a copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves though.

We are sorry; how very remiss of us. It seems that we missed something.

We know what massive fans of the US PS3 adverts you all are, and we accidentally overlooked one!

Allow us to rectify this gross oversight…

So Uncharted 2 is undoubtedly Sony’s biggest exclusive this year, and perhaps so far in the PS3′s life cycle, but how are Sony going to tell the UK all about it?

Well they are launching a massive marketing campaign that may not be too far away from resembling the scale seen with the Halo series.

The two big PS3 exclusive titles coming out this year are having some PlayStation Home love, with both getting a dedicated public space.

The Uncharted 2 space is set in Nepal, complete with views of surrounding temples and mini-games.
