Outside of God of War 3, is there any title you're anticipating more than Uncharted 2: Among Thieves? I know we're not. Nathan Drake is finally back from his R & R and moving from the luscious forest to a cold blizzardy adventure. EDGE Magazine scored a full cover story on Naughty Dog's upcoming title and has revealed a couple more tidbits in some very action-packed pages.

An improved aspect to Uncharted 2 is the upgrade of the Uncharted Engine which significantly reduces texture pop-in. Furthermore, the development team has taken everything a notch up in the motion capture and voiceover field. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was special due to the voice talent and the believable dialog within the game. However, this was only achieved by having the actual voice actors also taking part in the motion capturing. In Uncharted 2, the team is having the dialog delivered at the same time as the motion capturing, something not usually done in video games.

For any other new information, you'll just have to check out a couple of the scans below (if those are unreadable, check the source).

    Absolutely cannot wait. My most anticipated title save MAYBE Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Maybe Final Fantasy XIII too, just because I'm JRPG deprived, but Uncharted was my very favorite PS3 game before MGS4. Now it's my second favorite PS3 game this gen. (Valkyria Chronicles is probably a very close third, and it's creeping up the longer I play it.)

    I'm absolutely stoked about Uncharted 2.

    Not to mention Killzone 2, I forgot to throw that into the mix...Meh, screw listing my order of anticipation, it's just bad@.ss to be able to get all these games.

    I can't believe how good this game looks. I personally think it looks even better than Kz2 (mostly because of the colourful art style)

    This game has way too much hype. I'm thinking its going to be under par.  Most hyped game of 2009 is for me, easily Killzone 2.  GOW3 is a must buy and I have hype for it to, but I’m not really bothering about it till it comes out. As for this game? No hype whatsoever. I played the first one and it was good but I don’t think it was anything special. To me, only extraordinary games deserve hype.

    I’m not bashing, that’s just my opinion.
