| Here's my collection, maybe you should try and copy it exactly? by Jerry Whorebach 11/25/2007, 5:12am PST | ||||

| An asterisk means I've actually played a particular game. Two asterisks mean I've beaten it. Three mean I've collected everything in Jak & Daxter, even the completely useless stuff.
PS2 EXCLUSIVES Ace Combat 4 I was really into Highway to the Danger Zone for a while and thought this game might give me a good excuse to put it on repeat. Turns out it was just a phase, by the time this arrived in the mail I was mostly listening to Werd Up by Cameo, so I didn't EVEN bother. Devil May Cry 3 (Special Edition) Quarter to Three gave wrom a hard time for liking this, so I bought it out of spite. God Hand You like it, Caltrops likes it, Eric Wolpaw likes it... but the real critics hated it. So now I don't really know what to believe. I think I'm just going to wait until this all blows over. God of War** It's Diablo II in 3D. And you can only play as a barbarian. And someone already named him with a stupid name. I missed the sex scene on my playthrough because I didn't rotate the concentric puzzle rings counter-clockwise enough, or maybe too much, I forget. Gradius V They're still making these. Good for them. Gran Turismo 4* Gran Turismos used to have painstakingly-translated hand-written descriptions of each car. I learned everything I know about cars from those, like how stricter Japanese safety regulations resulted in a '96 Mazda Miata that was heavier and less responsive than the '89 model, or how the Nissan Silvia produces a refreshing feeling of wholesome drive. Well, they don't have those anymore. ICO I barely have the inclination to play all those games with GREAT box art, what chance does this stand? Jak & Daxter*** I liked the big streaming world with no load times. I also liked it when Daxter would say something funny or trip over his own feet. I was an elf but they didn't beat me over the head with it so I didn't really give a shit. A++ Katamari Damacy Looks like fun! The Mark of Kri** See my review. (SPOILER: it's not an especially insightful review.) Maximo* I beat the almighty hell out of the sequel, Maximo vs. [the] Army of Zin, then immediately traded it in for this one because I couldn't wait to play more. In retrospect that was a mistake, this one blows. The camera blows because you can't maneuver it on the run, the enemies blow because there's no skillful way to kill them without randomly taking hits, the hub levels blow because hub levels in platformers ALWAYS blow, and everyone already knows why the save system blows. Amazingly they managed to fix all that for the sequel, so HATS OFF to you, FUCKBAGS. Metal Gear Solid 3 (Subsistence) I remember why I bought this, it was because I heard it was set in the '60s and you could take your shirt off and writhe around in the mud and eat fresh fish. What I don't remember is why I thought that sounded like something I would want. Okami I used to walk a dog whose owner insisted he was part wolf. I didn't really see it, he looked more like a malamute to me, but he did bite two different children on two non-consecutive occasions. This just reminds me how much I miss the adorable scamp :( Onimusha 3: Demon Siege One reviewer said the opening cinematic alone was worth the price of admission, so I know I'll get my money's worth whenever I get around to watching it. That's called peace of mind and you can't put a price on it. Ratchet & Clank I bought all three of these, but not the Ratchet: Deadlocked spinoff. Your guess is as good as mine as to why. Rez I'm waiting to play this on XBLA (for the achievements). Ridge Racer V* Ridge Racer 4: awesome. Ridge Racer 6: awesome. Ridge Racer 5: mediocre. Someone explain how that can happen. Shadow of the Colossus I'm going to play this at some point before I see that Adam Sandler movie where his family is trapped in Shadow of the Colossus and he has to get into the game, LITERALLY, to save them or whatever the real plot was. There are some other things I'm going to do before seeing that movie but I won't get into them here, it's a pretty long list. Sly Cooper Smells like furries. Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Smells like anime. Tekken 5 According to experts, this is the worst fighting game I own. I think I picked it up because one of the guys looks like Rutger Hauer and another looks like Wesley Snipes, and I wanted to see who was tougher. I don't remember why, exactly. Twisted Metal: Black* It was hard so I gave up. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution* See above. I'm still searching for a copy of Klonoa 2. Next time: multiformat titles, best enjoyed on PS2. |
