Great graphics, Best third person action adventure game on a handheld, Trophy hungry gamers have a lot to look out for, Production value to match a summer blockbuster, Well-paced gameplay between traversing, action and puzzles

Abstract: The PlayStation Vita may not have the best software lineup on the planet but it does have a solid contender in the form of Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Like its console brethren, it’s Sony’s perfect first party launch vehicle to showcase not only the gra...
