Seeing as my fellow admins wrote their own Thanksgiving-themed posts (a long time ago…) on games they were thankful for, I thought I better get my tail into gear and write one of my own. I intended on publishing this quite some time ago, but Listmas came up, and I wasn’t able to get to…

Jak and Daxter: I Miss the Simple Days
I didn’t already write a post about this, right? I don’t think I did…. Anyway, some time ago, I wrote a post comparing the “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet & Clank” series, and I thought it was high time I gave you guys a more in-depth look at the “Jak” series, one of my favorites,…
Great Games I Almost Missed

Yep, even in games like those, things that would be considered wrong in real life are deemed perfectly acceptable. What am I talking about? Well, have you ever…
Comparing “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet and Clank”: Two Series Everyone Must Play
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about two of my favorite series, both of which are often compared to each other, the PlayStation exclusive series “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet and Clank”. From what I can tell, these series always seem to be related to each other, likely because their developers, Naughty Dog and Insomniac…
