If there's one thing you can always count on id Software to do, it's make a first-person shooter that will leave your heart racing.

At the end of last year his latest journey Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception was brought to PS3 owners across the world, continuing on with its trend of extreme treasure hunting that would make any Discovery Channel host envious.
