Gaming Union: "All three games have a great story and even better are the fun gameplay that surrounds it. It is just too bad that the gameplay systems you use while playing 90 percent of the game is forgotten and replaced with irritating level design. The chance to replay these classics is worth it, but only for the diehard Ratchet fans. New fans to the series that might have missed out should be cautious about picking this up, especially with all the bugs that are present throughout."
The holidays are here, and we asked around for some cherished gaming memories during these festive times. Got any of your own?
Oddly enough, I play The Grinch on PS1 every December. One of the best licensed titles of the time.
I remember getting the original Legend of Zelda as a kid. First time I laid eyes on that gold beauty I was beside myself. Years later getting the SNES was a great memory too. I miss being a kid sometimes. I hope to envoke that nostalgia with my children.
I think I have only got a game system for Christmas twice and that was the Original Xbox and PSP 1000. Both were amazing when I got them back in the day. But I think my favorite console I ever got was for a birthday and that was the Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and Army Men Sarge Heroes. But all of these were unexpected gifts that were so awesome opening up and being surprised. Also I have all of Nintendo and Sonys consoles and only the Original Xbox from Microsoft.
When i got my PS2 for Christmas, i wasnt expecting one due to low supply. Played Dynasty Warriors 2 all day!
Techtorial: Best Buy listed its new deals for the weekend including $15 price tag to a few popular PS3 and Xbox 360 titles.
"Since we’re just starting this today, we chose the very first question: What’s Your Favorite HD Collection?"
-PSLS
I wish I had time/money to play all of the HD collections out there right now.
Personally:
#1 - God of War: Collection*
(The only one I actually replayed completely through and platinumed both, so I have to give it the top spot.)
#2 - Metal Gear Solid: Collection
(Barely played it so far [I beat the originals and was hoping for MGS1 HD], but still a great collection and deserved the HD treatment)
#3 - Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
(Beat SotC again. Still haven't played Ico, but plan to eventually)
#4 - God of War: Origins Collection*
(The PSP remakes; own it, haven't played it yet, but will eventually.)
#5 - Ratchet & Clank Collection
(Owned the originals, haven't bought or played this yet, but will.)
*God of War Saga obviously includes both #1 & #4 Origins, but Origins isn't on-disc. I prefer on-disc.
Some other HD remasters/remakes I'd buy (not collections, I know):
Half-Life HD (or a Black Mesa console release)
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction HD (preferably included with an EoD2 release on PS4)
My favorite is Jak and Daxter. I enjoyed that series a ton in the PS2 days and it's still incredibly fun today. Such a great series.
