The expo opened yesterday and runs until tomorrow with the latter two days showcasing 144 gaming companies at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

I think I paid about 50p for it, despite the game being pretty bad (even for ps2 standards), the glitches were hilarious, I had fun with it :)

I think sony shouldn't even allow this on the Store.

freshslicepizza3142d ago

i think they should leave it up because what it does is show how much better naughty dog are

traumadisaster3142d ago

Guess you've never been in the thick of it, knee pads can make you so much more effective my friend.

Roaddhogg3142d ago

Considering the game is cross-platform, why wouldn't it be?

raggy-rocket3142d ago

Because it didn't come out on Xbox

Roaddhogg3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

Episode 2 is planned for Xbox One, as stated in the article.

Just learned about this game, and watched a couple of YT videos of the "first one". Wish I never did, this is probably one of the worst games, I have ever seen!
