The Joystiq Show - 013: Super Metal Uncharted Land

We are at the very back end of the holiday releases, but there are still a few games to hit. Three games this week, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, and Saints Row: The Third, more than held their own in the reviews, but the last two are the big winners here --and the two couldn't be more different in their individual greatness.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has brought Solid Snake, some white-haired guy, and a whole slew of villains with crazy names into the modern era, and Chris, along with Ludwig and JC, take this opportunity to revisit the majesty that is the MGS series.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has already shared the limelight with other games in a previous Now Playing, but this week it gets its own segment. Chris, Ludwig and Griffin aren't pulling any punches in spoiler town so, if you haven't finished Drake's latest adventure, this might be a segment to come back to.

Part 1 (1:21) - Now Playing: Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, and Saints Row: The Third
Part 2 (43:28) - Roundtable: Metal Gear Solid series
Part 3 (1:17:17) - Spoiled Rotten: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
