We originally told you about this on Jan 2 of this year, but the new videogame Uncharted 2 , which “takes place in war-torn Tibet” is out as of midnite last night.

Hmm…Another “find Shangri-la” video-adventure?

A good friend writes to say “It is an exclusive PS3 game that is set in Nepal, Tibet, and Shambhala and is absolutely loaded with Buddhist art and imagery. It is already being touted as one of the best games ever.”

He says he’s picking it up today. Maybe he’ll provide a review here? Or, maybe you will?

UPDATE: note the “Phurba Dagger Artifact” that comes with the “Fortune Hunter” edition of the game. (Thanks to reader Michael, who left this in the comments for this post.) If you don’t know what a phurba is, here‘s a Wiki-answer for ya.
