October 13th is going to be a particularly bittersweet day. Every minute I’m playing Brütal Legend is time not spent playing Uncharted 2 – and vice versa.

I’ve just spent a few hours throwing down with some randoms in Uncharted 2 co-op. There’s only one level, but even on easy it’s intense. The game throws out the notion of attacking from safety – everywhere is vulnerable, so you’ve got to stay on the move. You need your teammates as well – get caught in a choke hold and the only reliable way out is to have someone shoot the bad guy off you.

Visually the game is mint. The controls are spot on, and the co-operative bits aren’t a pain. I can say without hesitation that I’m going to be logging a good chunk of time with this in both single and multiplayer. It’s a great time to own a PS3.
