Join Discussion →I was a huge fan of these games back in the day. Too bad I don't have a PS anything.
Long before the Uncharted series, LoK introduced me to Amy Hennig's work. I've never finished any of the games, but I got all of them on both Steam and GOG. Didn't know they were planning on making remasters. Those remasters better f*cking come out on PC.
