Well, just like the title says, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has sold over 3.5 million units on the PlayStation 3 when just earlier in the month, SCEA’s Jack Tretton mentioned that the game had just hit the 3 million mark.

In addition to the post over at the US PS Blog where Scott Rhode, Vice President of SCEA, said that the game has won over 150 industry awards, Uncharted 2 won 10 D.I.C.E. awards just this week.

Not only that, Uncharted 2 is the fastest-selling PlayStation 3 title and boasts 1.5 million active online users.

Uncharted 2 is also up for 10 BAFTA awards.

Well done, Uncharted 2! You are an inanimate object worthy of praise.

It looks like the security at GDC was pretty lax this year, because thanks to a few sneaky journalist, the first ever gameplay footage of Uncharted 2 has been leaked onto the internet.

The game is looking like it’s going to be especially good, if this sneak (literally) preview is anything to judge by. Enjoy!

After months of waiting, Naughty Dog have finally let everything out of the bag on the sequel to Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. The new game will officially be called “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves”.

The first trailer released shows a beaten-up Nathan Drake trudging through a snowy landscape and picking up an artefact, But thats it.

The next issue of GameInformer, involves a teaser and is a little more helpful.

“Nathan Drake returns with a whole new adventure which revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages,” says GameInformer. “The new PlayStation 3 title will add a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay. Players can also expect all-new locations, characters and a focus on the game’s story.”

A lengthier trailer will be shown during the 2008 Video Game Awards show, airing on December 14, 2008, at 9:00 PM (pacific – 5am UK) on Spike, says Naughty Dog.
