Uncharted 2 Beta Goes Public Tonight
SCEE has just announced that the Uncharted 2 multi-player beta goes public this evening at 7pm (UK time).

So, if you haven't pre-ordered yet and got the code... hell, it doesn't matter any more! Download the demo from the PS Store and away you go. Here's what you get:

- Four maps – The Ice Cave, The Temple, The Village and The Plaza
Deathmatch, Elimination, Plunder, Chain Reaction, Co-op Gold Rush and an extract from one of our Co-op objective levels

- The Machinima mode, where you can run around the levels and tweak the camera so you can create movies which you can then watch in Cinema mode.

- Cinema mode, where you can watch movies of your online matches, or your performances in Machinima mode, then upload them and send them to your friends (as long as they’ve got the Beta to watch it on of course).

- Store items – we’ve included a selection of the Skins, Boosters, and Taunts as well as all the Co-op Weapon Upgrades for you to spend your hard earned ingame cash on.

- Twitter option – enter your twitter account details and you’ll automatically tweet status updates of your online progress.

Eh, we thought that last one had been obliterated...

Just what I needed, I'd planned a night of MAG but now this, it's going to be a hard choice!

Hmm. Maybe I won't be giving that MAG beta so much play after all...

I got my download started just after 20:00. What caught my eye was the "closed beta" description, stating a cutoff in July! Wha..?

Anyway, I got it down and installed. Gave it a couple of rounds in which I got my ass thoroughly perforated - but it was still great fun.

What's everyone else think? It took me a while to get out of the shooter mentality of ladder and platform and get into the frame of mind I would have when playing single player Drake, Tomb Raider or any other platform adventure - which is to say that almost any ledge that's within reach can be clambered upon and used to get to higher ground.
