» "Cinema is an invention without a future," said Louis Lumiere who, along with his brother Auguste, invented the Cinematographe in 1895. From its birth, cinema was convinced of its own death. From the very beginning, cinema predicted its own eventual demise.

» We really did think we saw the last of the Uncharted series. After all, the fourth one was entitled Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, so we were pretty much convinced that Nathan Drake's treasure-hunting days were done. Well, that is sort of true. Drake, the central character of the past four games, is absent in this standalone expansion entitled Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Is Uncharted no longer Uncharted simply because Nathan Drake isn't there? Or is the game able to stand for itself and be a valid addition to the Uncharted franchise?
