Uncharted 2 To Disable Twitter Updating Temporarily

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WHY would you allow this, cruel world? I was looking forward to spamming my Twitter friends with useless information!

No, seriously, I'm really disappointed I cannot do this.

iSnack 2.0

Kraft took customers suggestions for the name of its new Vegemite product. The result? iSnack 2.0

I think it's safe to say that either Kraft or its customers (or both) have failed on this one.

Built-In Twitter Functionality in Uncharted 2

While I really love Uncharted, the sequel might start a really bad trend... of integrated in-game Twitter. The game can update your Twitter account with in-game statuses, such as when you complete a level.

That being said, because I'm a total jerk, I'm going to set it to update my Twitter account and totally flood my friends' feeds.
