Dedicated gamer edits all three Uncharted games into movies


If you're familiar with the Uncharted series you've no doubt heard them described as extremely movie-like, Sony even had a commercial that said it. Well, Reddit user morphinapg heard it too, and decided to actually make them into movies. So he got to work playing the games, capturing the video, and editing out unnecessary gameplay to make it as much like a Hollywood blockbuster as possible.

Apparently he isn't the first to do this sort of thing, as the comments section is rife with people linking to other examples like Shenmue, Heavy Rain, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Metal Gear Solid 3 via a bonus feature on the special edition of the game. It probably says something about the state of video games as a medium that so many of them can be made into effective movies by just cutting out the extraneous gameplay between cut-scenes, but I won't get into that now.

If you played the Uncharted games and want a refresher course without the effort of pushing buttons, here you go. Or if you haven't played the games and would rather just watch them from the very start, that's all up to you, man. Either way, these are pretty awesome. Hit the jump to watch any of the three. Oh, spoilers. Obviously.

Sophist Radio Episode #56: The Sad Tale of Tadpole McRibbit


With real-world distractions in the way, James, Aaron, and Harold haven't been able to find time for their podcasting chairs for awhile. But even with only a few games to chat about they're getting back in the game, and squeezing every drop of conversation out of their three games; The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Uncharted 3. Certainly big releases for the holiday season, and the guys find plenty to discuss about them. Plus hilarious tangents on movies, douchebags, and plenty more.
