Speaking of which, I should go on Ebay sometime and check out old PS1 games and maybe buy some! They should be pretty cheap...I hope!
Thats a very good idea! I have no clue though how much PS1 games cost these days

Crash of the Titans, I think? It was very entertaining, though, would go out of my way to play again if they decide to remake it for PS4.
Crash of the Titans was fun, although i think i still prefer the "classic" Crash Bandicoot games.
I would go nuts if they made a new one for the PS4!!


So. have we agreed on Jak&Daxter being the first weekly feature? (:

What do I like most?... uhm... yeah... You couldn't asked a more difficult question but yeah, here goes nothing!

If I really think about it, what kept me playing on and on as a kid and teenager. It was probably that despite the sometimes serious tones and aspects in the series (Invasions, Civil war uprise, military state) The series still found it's way to make me, and surely others, laugh at some points. Let it be Daxter's "Goodbye messages" to Jak if he fails in Jak 2. Or the interactions between Daxter and the various charachters in this world. Now that I think about it, the game would be half as good or even worse without the implementation of Daxter. His role was to bring comedic relief, in a except that serious Jump'n'run game, okay except the first one. I think, that everyone can agree that we love Daxter in the games, he is jumpy, he is full of himself, but also he is a great hero if needed. And that makes him even a better charachter, even if he doesn't do much to bring the story more aheah (He let's Jak do the job basically) The games would feel so more empty without him

That is why Daxter/comedic relief is my favourite in the Series

I AM SCREAMING

What do you like most about the Jak&Daxter Games?

Ummm everything??? Let me start with the first game. I like the easy to play nature. It's easy to just pick up the game and start playing. It's not relaxing of course, but it's not chaotic either and it's easy to just fall into. Jak is adorable in this game too. He doesn't talk, but his facial expressions are absolutely priceless. From the way he looks at Daxter's new ottsel body to the way he looks at Keira, it's just hysterical.

I really love the drastic turn of the second game. Jak becoming a huge jerk was completely unexpected. And the turn the gameplay makes is like we've fallen into a completely different series, but I feel that it's done really well rather than making you feel like you're not playing a Jak and Daxter game. You know you are, but things have gone really sour for our heroes and you just want to be a part of what's going on. Jak still has insane facial expressions too. Sometimes I'm just like "jak water u doin.....JAAAAAK"

The third game is my absolute favorite in the series. Jak matures into a fantastic character (which I mean, he did that over the course of the second as well, compare from the beginning of the game to the end OKAY MOVING ON), we get some awesome backstory about him, he gets a seriously needed hair cut, and BAM badass. I just enjoy playing this one more than the first two as well. It's like a perfect blend of the gameplay styles of the first games. It takes the easy to pick up nature from the first game, keeps the shooting, removes the rage inducing difficult from the second, and there you go. Jak III.

Oh and Jak X is a great stress reliever. Just shoot people in cars and swear up a storm!

I was going to say pretty much the same thing, Jak.

But anyway...
What do you like most about the Jak&Daxter Games??
Anything and everything!

JAD: TPL was a great first game. It showed immaturity of Jak and Daxter. I love how you set of on an adventure because you accidentally flew back and pushed your best friend into a pool of dark Eco; thus turning him into an ottsle. One of most powerful beings of the universe! But going through the game, it has good characters and places that, as of Jak II and onward, I wish we could have revisited. Everywhere had its own unique charm to it. Plus collecting precursor orbs and power cells was fun yet stressful.

Jak II was totally unexpected. When I first played it, it was like it wasn't a JAD game, but it still had that charm. I'll admit that it was weird hearing Jak talk at first, but became used to it quickly and adapt to his loss of innocence and jerk behavior due to dark Eco experiments but a very great story line and great characters that kept showing up (honestly loved that compared to the first game). I also loved that we got to revisit Samos' old hut. I just hoped that we could've seen other old places like the other sages huts, snowy mountain, ect. but that didn't happen. By the end I love how every one matured through-out the game. And I still want to see what that ruby key does!.

Jak 3 was a great blend of the other 2 games. It was easier than Jak II, harder than TPL, with some harder bosses as you go through the game. Jak getting banished to the wasteland was a great twist from Jak II. It's great to know that there was people outside the war zone of haven city. Plus this game was a great providing Jaks back story. Yeah it was great that damos was Jaks dad, but why did he have to figure out so late! And while his dad died on his lap!! I mean come on; that would've been great to see a father son relationship going on. But anywho, Jak gaining light powers was a great way to balance out the dark ones.. I'm so glad that Daxter got pants. Even though, it would be nice to see what he'd look like as a human again.

Jak X was a great racing game, especially since Jak loves racing. I liked all the characters introduced and all the cars, but hated how you couldn't walk around from place to place. That's the one thing I seriously HATED. But other then that it was a fun game; even to release my anger on.

Daxter was fun as well. I know this weeks thing is about Jak AND daxter, but it's still part of that family ( :P ). It was a good game to focus on Daxter himself instead of Jak. And it was fun to see haven city being under some construction. Fun game for a the PSP.

Jak an Daxter: the lost frontier was something different. It wasn't made by Naughty Dog (T.T) but was an ok game. It was disappointing that it was only Jak, Kiera, and Daxter. No Samos, no torn, no one else from the previous games. But there was new areas which was cool, but no old ones. And this game totally doesn't have the charm that Naughty Dog put into there JAD games. So yeah. This one game was disappointing to me.

Haha nice to see you all like the J&D games :D

I have to agree on everything that has been said.
The games are all great and somehow feel different from one another, which makes every adventure unique and fun. The best thing to me would be the 2 main characters and how they evolve throughout the games.

Another Topic: Who do you like More - Jak or Daxter - and why??

Well, here I have to go with Jak though. Despite that Daxter is my favourite, as charachter in the games I like Jak just more. As said the evolution he goes through, the development he has. The Jak from the first game has hardly the same feel to him as the Jak in the third

In the first game, Jak is a rather normal man in the Village, he does jobs for them (repairing the electric system) and as the story progresses somehow gets involved in stopping the Dark Eco. But as a charachter he feels in the game not so important, he doesn't stand out really. With having no voice, he just has his facial expressions and things he can do to show personality.

Then came the second game, Jak developed alot probably because he was kept inprisioned (For one year (?) Did not play the games in a while) And experimanted on. He kinda steps up and shows more personality and his courage against others. And then, also the implemantation of making a Dark Jak version was really cool too and gave more to him. Because now he had a force in him, which he couldn't really controll, but also he had to watch out for others. He had now more than just one opponent and goal.

With the third game, Jak took another step in personality and now became the Leader kind of guy. Shown that he tries to save Heaven city in the chaos, and takes on missions by himself. And with another twist in the end shows Jak all the hatred that he had kept up since he entered the future.

As I mentioned before I didn't played the Games in a while now, like 2 to 3 years probably. But I tried to remember, excuse if I messed up somehow. And also... I always liked Jak with his beard more hehehe...

I like Jak and Daxter roughly the same, but I'd have to say Daxter more than Jak because he's like a comedic relief from the intensity of the games.

I think it's obvious I like Jak more. Daxter is great too of course, but Jak just oozes awesome. And again, those facial expressions...idk man, Jak gives Daxter a run for his money on being the comedic relief. :P

This time I vote for Crash Bandicoot for being the new Weekly Feature. This is because I have played at least one game in the Crash Bandicoot series. That game is Crash Bandicoot Warped. As for games in the Croc series, never played any.

Why do you do this to me, Zoro. Can I just...vote for both? xD

I'm up for either, really. I loved both series, but I grew fond of Crash Bandicoot a lot more because I played pretty much ALL of their games when I was younger.
