I just find it funny how video game characters have unlimited energy.

A random glitch towards the end of the game.  I like how I respawned by dropping from the sky.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Uncharted 3 was made by Naughty Dog, but technically it was a different group of people that made Uncharted 2 (that group made The Last of Us). It's still a great Uncharted game, but there does seem to be a little less polish and attention to game design than was seen in Uncharted 2.  For example, it seems like EVERY ledge that you jump onto breaks beneath your feet.  It's okay if it happens now and again, but when it happens literally every time it just seems like the designers thought it was cool and went totally overboard.  On the whole, though, the game is great.

 

Some memorable set pieces include hanging from some cargo netting attached to a flying plane, and being inside of a cruise ship as it begins to sink.  In the set piece department, Uncharted 3 definitely doesn't disappoint.

 

The gameplay is as good as ever, and the story is fairly engaging.  I did think the villains were a little vanilla, though.  All in all, it's a well made game and if you liked the other Uncharted games then I'm confident you'll find a lot to like with this one.
