Tonight was fairly productive in WoW, with a run through Wailing Caverns and some quests in Hillsbrad giving me a few useful new pieces of equipment. I also hit level 25, though leveling is definitely getting slower now, so the good ol’ 2-levels-per-night days are nearing their end.

During a lull I got a chance to check out the demo for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. It initially feels and looks a lot like a Tomb Raider clone with a male lead instead, but it puts more emphasis on making the shooting parts less arcadey than TR, forcing you to use the cover system, not letting you take too many hits too quickly, and requiring careful aiming. I didn’t get too far though, as I ran out of ammo and got slaughtered at the big fight at the ruins. There were some bits that required you to use the motion controls (walking across logs, throwing grenades) that felt awkward.

I’ll have to try the demo again to see if I can get farther, as it hasn’t really sold me on it so far. Or maybe my skills have just degraded to the point where I need to start playing on Easy… :P
