Today PSU received the official review kit and press release for Naughty Dog’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Normally when publishers send us games, it’s just the barebones game box with the disc in it. But with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, this is no ordinary press kit.
When I opened the parcel this morning, I was amazed to find more than just a game; what I found was the diary of Sir Francis Drake (and a press release). Inside this book, I found a slew of journals, maps, data discs, and a post card with holes to decode secret messages.
The beginning of the diary starts with The Chronicles of Sir Francis Drake, and his life story. Then after a few pages, the diary ends, leaving a secret compartment for all of Nathan Drake’s findings and his own diary.
Furthermore, Sony was kind enough not to only send us a review copy of the game, but also a sample of Uncharted’s OST, composed by Greg Edmonson. Also on the OST is a hip hop track entitled "Uncharted: The El Dorado Megamix" performed by DJ Shadow.
Along with all this information, we have taken photos of the press kit for your enjoyment. Stay tuned to PSU for our full review on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune very soon.
