With Among Thieves, Naughty Dog has shattered the proverbial bar it created with the 2007 original. This is quite possibly the best game to have graced the PS3, and without a doubt one of the greatest titles ever conceived.

  • The stunning visuals that draw you into the complex and engrossing story

We dislike

  • The occasional hiccup with the controls
  • Having to wait for Uncharted 3!
