This is one of those days where I'm happy to be a movie geek. One of my favorite video games of all time is being turned into a movie - I'm speaking, of course, about Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
The game is so awesome - I can't recommend it highly enough. Nathan Drake, descendant of Sir Francis Drake and treasure hunter extraordinaire, goes on a quest for El Dorado along with a stubborn hottie (obvs) filming a documentary. When rival treasure hunters get involved, it turns into an all-out dash for the treasure.
It's almost as if it were made to be adapted; the game was so cinematic that if they transcribed the script and added a few scenes here and there it would be perfect. If Nathan Fillion (Serenity, "Firefly") becomes attached to star, this could go down as my most anticipated film since The Expendables. PLEASE - somebody out there with some Hollywood casting power - make this happen. This has a legit shot at becoming the first great video game movie adaptation.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves drops for PS3 in November of 2009.

is this quasi sarcastic? if i recall this was nothing more than an afterthought on jareds console.
Wow, looking back on the post it does seem like it could be sarcastic.
However, I was totally serious. I honestly loved that game - I went to Jared's (he went to Jared!) and played it all the way through and loved every second of it.
i think this comment is also the bit sarcastic. i've got my good eye on you, tango.
Ben, seriously, if you don't respect your readers, they can't respect you. Stop writing all this bitter and sarcastic spins on good news.
