EGTV: Exclusive Uncharted vids

Drake's on a plane.

A trio of exclusive Uncharted videos have been sprinkled generously across the mighty Eurogamer Empire, capturing our early progress in Naughty Dog's anticipated PS3 adventure.

Introducing Nathan Drake as the new Indiana Jones of gaming (and nothing at all like a male Lara Croft, obviously), Uncharted marks the US developer's PlayStation 3 debut, having enjoyed huge success on PSone and PS2 with slavering, ginger maniac Crash Bandicoot, and platforming partners Jak & Daxter.

Of the three exclusive videos showing today, our very own Eurogamer TV offers a taster of Drake's acrobatic and ballistic skills, with a scramble through the jungle and firefight deep in the bowels of a temple.

Meanwhile, over on Eurogamer.de,having crashlanded in dangeorous territory, take a peek at some of the early-doors action scenes Drake will encounter in his hunt for the lost treasure of El Darado.

Last but not least, say a big "salut!" to our Gallic chums at Eurogamer.fr, who have a more cerebral video vignette, highlighting the Tomb Raider-style puzzles our hero must think his way out of to progress.

Uncharted will be raiding PS3's tomb from December 7th in Europe. Watch out for our full review soon.
