Uncharted: Drake's Fortune didn't debut among the top ten software sales when it released, but six months later it's charting on Amazon's Bestseller's list thanks to being the Deal of the Day. It's not alone, either. The PS3 Blu-Ray remote is also rising the ranks thanks to its limited Lightning Deal status.

This is surprising because 8 of top 10 items are Wii related, which have dominated the Amazon list regularly. For now, Uncharted is finally getting some much deserved sales respect to equal its critical reception.

"This time, a well-placed source close to the deal tells us that the movie rights to Naughty Dog's highly cinematic action-adventure game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, have been optioned by Atlas Entertainment. There isn't much else to go on besides that; the project has yet to be formally announced and is still in the earliest stages (that is to say: being written)."

It turns out that the 'Strange Relic' treasure from Uncharted is actually a Precursor Orb from the Jak & Daxter universe. The orb has some unique markings on it that, when translated, say "Naughty Dog" and "Manmad".

A quick Google search will teach you that Manmad is a city in India, so perhaps that's where the next game will take place.

The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have brought HD gaming into the mainstream. After years of High-Def in the living room being a hazy concept that really only affected A/V aficionados, the more technologically inclined, and the affluent, these videogame machines have made HD Gaming as simple and affordable as "plug n' play." But as with any consumer device, the hardware, for all its potential, is just that - untapped potential. What really brings out the true worth of the machine is the software that goes into it, and how it utilizes the power built into its system architecture.

Drew Crecente of Kotaku writes: When I first read the words "Q Awards" I auto-magically thought of the late, great actor Desmond Llewelyn but was apparently way off track. These are Gamefly's version of the Oscars sans the cheesy dance routines.

Winners are determined by GameFly members, who according to the GameFly press release are the "... most discerning community of online video game renters." Unfortunately I'm not terribly discerning as I can be easily distracted by bright colors and flashing lights.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare took the Q awards triumvirate, winning "Game of the Year," "Xbox 360 Game of the Year," and "PlayStation 3 Game of the Year."

"We hear that the Home portal for Naughty Dog's PlayStation 3 adventure will follow in Resistance's footsteps, allowing Home avatars to explore the game's levels without the threat of being shot at, a nice feature. But it's the Uncharted mini-game that has us far more pumped.

According to our sources, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune comes to Home armed with a side-scrolling 2D arcade game, described to us as reminiscent of both Contra and Out Of This World. Sounds kind of like Capcom's 2D remake of Bionic Commando in its execution, full of enemies and exploding barrels to shoot."

IGN writes: During a 58-minute presentation titled "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Post-Mortem: Amazing Feats of Daring," Naughty Dog Game Designer Richard Lemarchand dropped a megaton on the standing-room only audience.

Nathan Drake is based -- in part -- on Johnny Knoxville.

Okay, maybe that doesn't deserve the moniker of "megaton," but the fact that designers began basing Nathan on cynical, nice guy Knoxville when they couldn't get a handle on the in-game character was just one of many anecdotes Lemarchand shared during the presentation.

Obviously rumors will hit anything remotely successful, that means Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is no exception to that happening. As one of the most prolific games on the PlayStation 3, Drake left fans wanting an entirely new adventure as quick as possible.

Apparently, according to some news print, Uncharted 2 has been confirmed. Watch the video below and decide for yourself. Without an official announcement, it's hard to be anything but skeptical.

Next-Gen's Tom Ivan reports Naughty Dog veterans Jason Hughes and Andrew Gilmour have formed Austin, Texas-based Steel Penny Games, and are hard at work on the development of a WiiWare title

The company was organized in 2007, and the team has spent the past year building a proprietary engine geared toward the Wii platform's capabilities, and creating a new intellectual property which it hopes will span a series of games.

Set to focus initially on digitally distributed titles, Steel Penny's first release will be a WiiWare game in mid-2008. The company says the title "blends a challenging puzzle game with dramatic fantasy environments and appealing characters".

Gilmour, who has been working in the games industry for 20 years, was previously a senior background artist at Naughty Dog.

Game Critics Awards: "The judges of the Game Critics Awards are honored to announce the first annual Game of the Year awards. Considering games across all platforms, released commercially in North America between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the judges have voted to decide on the best of the best for the year.

To arrive at the top ten games of 2007, the judges applied a points system. Each judge nominated 10 games and awarded a score between 5 and 30 points to their chosen games, with a total point allotment of exactly 100. The cumulative total for each nominated game was then calculated to generate the ten highest scoring games. More details are available in the rules section".

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer what some of you have been arguing about in our forum - that the European version of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune doesn't support 1080i resolution after all.

"Naughty Dog only added it to the US version very late in the development process," Sony told Eurogamer. "Including this in the PAL version would have meant delaying the game's release as a result of QA testing each localised version again."

"With the New Year upon us, it's time look back at the games that have graced our PlayStation 3's and congratulate the best of them for helping us through the ups and downs of 2007.

The Game of the Year award goes to the title that provides both a creative new experience in its genre and solid gameplay. Not only that, but titles must exhibit other key factors, such as those which have mystified us with intriguing stories, beautiful graphics, lush sounds, and most importantly the addiction to continue coming back for more.

So, now you know what it is we're looking for, why not join us and find out just what it is we picked for this prestigious award?"
