As I watched the latest demonstration of Naughty Dog's upcoming, half-tucked installment in the Uncharted franchise be played out in a dark and decorated corner of the E3 expo hall, I couldn't help but consider the Pixies. Not because the demo was bland enough to allow my mind to wander -- quite the opposite, actually -- but because of the rigidity to which Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception adheres to the seminal indie rock band's trademark song construction style: It's loud, then it's quiet, then it's loud again.

The demo consisted of Nate Drake's struggle for survival on a sinking cruise ship and a 3D-infused cinematic trailer -- both of which were shown off during Sony's E3 press conference -- as well as a new, far more aerial action sequence. All three highlighted distinct set pieces in Uncharted 3's world, but all three were also invariably connected by steady, stark waves of rising and falling action.
