PlayStation Home rarely offers a strong enough incentive to entice the average PlayStation 3 user to visit this advert-heavy virtual community. However, if you’re an Uncharted 3 fan you may very well want to enter Home over the next couple of weeks as an official Space for the game will go live over the next couple of days according to IGN.
The Space is based on the Yemen multiplayer map from Uncharted 3, and rather than shoot your friends in the face you can socialise with them while taking in one of the most visually appealing environments currently available in Home.
The Uncharted 3 Space wouldn’t be complete without a decent mini-game to while away the hours, and thankfully there’s a cover-based shooter challenge to enjoy where you take down waves of enemies and collect treasure.
While you’ll be playing as your avatar rather than Nathan Drake, and the graphics aren’t as sublime as they are in Uncharted 3, I can’t think of another mini-game in Home which is as ambitious as this one appears to be.
Check out IGN’s preview footage of the mini-game below and let us know if you’ll be paying the Space a visit before Uncharted 3’s November 2nd launch in PAL territories.

PS Home for me is a waste of time and cap, this might make me visit a few times though.
My PS Home has one coach in it..... i haven't spent too much time in it. might need to update my PS3 and have a look at my PS home again. who wants to give me Uncarted 1 & 2 so i can see whats going on before 3 comes out???
@ POltjie - it's definitely worth investing in Uncharted 1 and 2 - they are such awesome games and you'll be able to pick them up for a good price now since they're platinum. Do it!
I know they have a dual pack out for this and resistance. but i first have to buy RAGE and BF3 and the list goes on.... but maybe I'll get them soon.
@POItjie uncharted is a game not to be missed, i only played the first one and it was awesome! and visited HOME on ps3 for the first time hahaha knida cool, wish xbox had something like HOME not that boring gameroom
Imagine Xbox had something like that where your avatar walks around and you can chat with people and interact with them, i can see some kinect usage there. Almost like Avatar Kinect but on a large MMO scale.
now thats sound awesome POItjie (tears of understanding) :')
