When you look at how cinematic Nathan Drake's exploits are, it's a bit weird to think that the same company that's turned out the realistic Uncharted mega-franchise also made the cartoony Jak & Daxter series. But Naughty Dog has in fact done both, and was considering a return to the buddy adventure franchise before they started in on the upcoming The Last of Us. More »

I recently opined that one of the things I didn't like about Uncharted 3 was that it lacked a delightful love-triangle like the one in Uncharted 2. Turns out maybe there was one, and most of us just missed it. More »

Sure, Naughty Dog's Uncharted series is a benchmark for narrative, cinematic gaming. But from the way Naughty Dog is talking up their new franchise to Eurogamer, the upcoming PlayStation-exclusive The Last of Us is going to have a lot to live up to—especially in a setting as well-trodden as the zombie apocalypse.

They didn't expect to be able to keep it a secret. They were worried it would leak. But the co-presidents of Naughty Dog managed to keep the fact that their Uncharted studio has been making The Last of Us for a while. Moments after the first trailer was revealed, the two chatted with the official PlayStation Blog and teased that the short trailer contains "lots of clues and little teases in there about what the game is about."

I think Crecente was a little kind with his Uncharted 3 review. For me, the changes made to the gunplay (namely in the speed and accuracy with which you aim your weapons) nearly killed the game for me, and for an adventure where you spend so much time playing with guns, that's a big problem. More »

A couple of weeks ago at IndieCade, Naughty Dog's Richard Lemarchand, lead designer on the Uncharted series, gave the keynote address. That may seem like an odd fit for an "IndieCade" keynote—after all, video games don't get more "Big Budget" than Uncharted. More »

Okay, I like the name "John". It's a good name, I think. "John Lennon" was named "John", and he was a cool dude. Dizzy Gillespie was born "John", but as good as "John" is, "Dizzy" is way better. What about "Nathan"? Is that better? More »
