3 Reasons Why "The Uncharted Series" Is The Best Group Of Action Movies Of This Decade

The Uncharted series has dominated the action genre of video games for almost the past decade. They are backed by none other than the video game development company Naughty Dog.

You are probably more familiar with them through their classic platformers such as Jak, Daxter, and Crash Bandicoot, which surely delighted the childhood of most 90s babies. Recently, they have decided to switch over from platforming games to incredibly cinematic action experiences. Uncharted is the poster child of this era of Naughty Dog's video games. This Indiana Jones-inspired action extravaganza of a series is filled with intense shootouts, intricate puzzles, emotional moments, and...history. It certainly sounds like many of this year's summer blockbusters. The Uncharted series is worlds better because you are a part of the excitement. You are not only a spectator watching these events unfold. Controller in hand, you have the power to move along the story. You are just as important as the characters on the screen.

Uncharted 4, the recently released last installment, only adds onto the excitement of the earlier installments. Here are a couple amazing aspects of Uncharted 4 that make it the best movie of 2016.


1. The Uncharted series has always been ahead of its time graphically.

Ever since the first Uncharted in 2007 on the PS3, the game has always pushed the envelope to deliver the best graphics of that time.

And they still hold up to this day.

The recently released Uncharted 4 has stepped the graphic game up a thousand notches. Being the first game in the series delivered on the PS4, your eyes will be treated to a feast. It all looks like a live-action movie!

The graphics are absolutely stunning and definitely rival real life. While playing the game, you will surely have to take a small break from the shootouts and the takedowns to just take time and enjoy the view.


2. The characters are dynamic.

Other main characters from video games may seem one dimensional and boring, but with the Uncharted series, it's entirely different.

There isn't just one word that describes the main character, Nathan Drake. He isn't just a treasure hunter; he has morals, intuitions, and an incredibly deep back story. It's easy to dive it and relate to him in one way or another.

The supporting characters are just as realistic, holding their own in the elaborate adventures of Uncharted. There is surely something for everyone here.

3. The humor always hits home.

A video game that has a good sense of humor comes along every once in a blue moon, but Uncharted is surely an exception. The characters have great comedic timing and can always lighten the mood when things get either too emotional or too intense.

Here are some of the most hilarious lines from the series.

The Uncharted series is consistently great in a world of different aspects. From the incredible graphics to the likable characters to the sharp humor, the series proves time and time again that it is a cinematic experience that everyone should experience at least once. Game after game it only gets better and ups the ante in every aspect. Uncharted 4 does just that and ends the series in a smash. When was the last time you watched a regular action movie series that was that consistent, sequel after sequel? I'll wait.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
