Watch Nathan Drake unbox the Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition

By Rick Marshall Published August 26, 2011

We’re going to put this out there right now: Uncharted voice actor Nolan North should host every unboxing video ever made. He’s that good.

Over on the Playstation Blog, North provides a guided tour of the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition, and it’s one of the first unboxing videos that’s ever made us laugh out loud (intentionally, at least).

As fans of the ultra-popular Uncharted franchise know, North provides the voice of the series’ treasure-hunting hero, Nathan Drake. The third installment of the franchise is set to hit shelves November 1, but North’s unboxing video provides a nice peek at what’s being packaged up for the $99.99 Collector’s Edition.

Among the highlights are an 8-inch Sideshow Collectibles statue of Nathan Drake, a wearable horseshoe belt buckle (which should also appeal to Indianapolis Colts fans, as North points out), a wearable replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ring, and a steel case for the game itself. The whole thing comes packaged in a replica of a 16th Century traveling chest.

Still, we can’t stress enough that the real treat here is North’s tour of the Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition. Whether you’re planning to pick one up or not, it’s worth watching.

How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.
How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

You have the ability to stealth kill right off the bat, though it is not something the game will ever explain or tell you. It works how you would think, but is tricky enough to pull off that you might not think it's possible even if you try the right thing.

Game spending is up — and you can thank Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Most of us knew that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be one of the biggest games of the year, but it's so big that it's doing a lot to boost games sales across the U.S.

This information comes from Circana (formerly NPD Group), which publishes a monthly report on U.S. video game spending. According to analyst Mat Piscatella, spending on hardware, software, and accessories was up 10% in October compared to the same time last year, and the spike was "primarily" driven by the release of Black Ops 6. Non-mobile video game subscription service spending was also up by 16%.
