Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has just been released, and Sony is taking the opportunity to launch the game bundled with a new version of their PlayStation 3 video game console, this one with a 250GB hard drive.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune was pretty much the first must-have game for the then newly released PlayStation 3.  Now the highly acclaimed sequel has hit store shelves after garnering many awards including the Official Best of E3 Game Critics award.

Sony has seen an opportunity with this milestone gaming title, and has announced new bundles of a new model PlayStation 3 to coincide with the games release.

Sony has given us the following information:Bringing the movie and interactive game worlds even closer, Uncharted 2 Among Thieves showcases an outstanding cinematic experience featuring Nathan Drake, the ultimate action hero and current male heart throb of the game world. The sequel to the exciting and critically acclaimed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune™ sees Nathan Drake, the fortune hunter with a shady reputation, lured back into the treacherous world of thieves and mercenaries in a new story where players take control of the fast talking action-seeker.

Filling in the gaps in history, Drake embarks on a journey to discover the real truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the legendary Chintamani Stone. He finds himself caught in a dangerous game of deception that will test his limits, emotionally, mentally and physically and cause him to risk everything along the way.

As well as an extensive single player adventure, the game also includes online multiplayer action for the first time in the series. Players can tackle the cooperative story mode together or pick a side for one of several competitive multiplayer modes.

For those new to the Uncharted franchise, the PS3 250GB console is a great way to enter the world of Nathan Drake. Following the great success of the new, smaller, PS3 120GB console, which sold over one million units in its first three weeks on sale globally, the new 250GB model is available from today with an RRP of AU$599.95. In addition, the 250GB console comes bundled, at no additional cost, with a choice of one title from a selection that includes Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time and EyePet.

This explosive new instalment in the Uncharted franchise will plunge you into an immersive action adventure with large scale gun fights, intense game play and puzzles to solve. Everything that an armchair fortune hunter could want and more!
