Gamer Limit Writes: "In a lot of gaming sequels there have been links to the previous games, past stories you would need to catch up on. Sometimes you can feel slightly lost, and unable to feel fully into the game if you haven’t played any of the previous installments. Luckily Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is not one of those games.The latest issue of GamePro [issue #247], has an interview with the President of Naughty Dog; Evan Wells. The interview reveals the current ideals for Uncharted 2, and they seem pretty interesting."
