The announcement of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves came in the end of 2008. Around Christmas, we were able to see the official trailer which actually attracted quite of attention. In the short movie we could see our friend Nathan Drake in some cold weather environment. But for this to make sense, you have to play the first chapter or you wouldn't know we are on the tropical islands.

Even with the poor information we had in the beginning, the project of Naughty Dog looked promising. In the very base, there is a treasure, and it's not just a "treasure" treasure, it's related to Marco Polo. In his adventures, he got fifteen ships full of treasures from Mongolian ruler – Kublai Khan. However, at the end he got only one, refusing to explain where the rest of the ships are to the end of his life. He shared, days before his death, that he only told half of the stories he lived through.
This is just perfect for Nathan! It ends that behind the Marco Polo's treasures, there's a big secret hiding. A secret that attracts people's attention since centuries – the magical Cintamani wish-fulfilling jewel.
I don't know how you feel, but I already want to have this game in my hands without even knowing much about its gameplay.
