Uncharted: Golden Abyss marks the first game in the series to make the jump to portable systems, and it doesn't disappoint in the slightest. Taking control of Nathan Drake through multiple beautiful environments, players will yet again be on the hunt for fame and fortune in this adventure-oriented outing.
