This article is about a new video game coming out called Uncharted 3. The words and phrases used in the article help give the reader a sense of setting in the game, what the game is about, and the authors opinion on it. "A burning chateau, a pirated cruise ship in the Arabian Sea and the bustling streets in Yemen..." and "It was somewhere around the sixth rooftop that I leapt from during a rollicking foot chase above the streets of Yemen..." represent some of the scenes you may see in the game. "The only major gripe that I have with Uncharted 3 is that it is no longer in uncharted territory" and "Uncharted 3 doesn't offer players any more freedom than it's predecessor did two years ago..." are examples where the author is talking about the game and his opinion about it.
