Not to be confused with the Canadian superstar, Drake is the main character of the Uncharted series. His first adventure felt like a combination of different genres. Climbing and platforming from games like Tomb Raider combined with action from games such as Gears of War. It was a fun ride, but by the end it didn't feel as though the game had it's own identity. It just took the winning elements from different games and combined it into one.
Uncharted 2 gave Nathan Drake and the series it's own identity. The first Uncharted had moments where Drake felt superhuman. Things would go bad, but it never seemed like Drake broke a sweat during the first adventure. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves presented Drake as a guy that makes mistakes. He goes to jail, gets betrayed, and is motivated by love. Humanizing Drake is nothing compared to the actual adventure of Uncharted 2. Fall 2009 was the time to own a Playstation 3. Uncharted 2 stood out among the classics with it's amazing graphics, compelling story, and addictive gameplay.
I think this series is next in line to sell like Grand Theft Auto. It probably would already be there if it was also on the Xbox 360. Uncharted 2 has sold over 3 million units on the PS3. Multiplatform games are notorious for selling more on the 360. At the same time there's something about Uncharted that screams PlayStation. Maybe it's the style of the games graphics or the Drake Sackboy in LittleBigPlanet. Either way Drake makes the PlayStation 3 stronger.
