Re: Discussion: Video Games

The Sly games come from the 'Platformer Trio' of the PS2. If you enjoyed Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter, you'll absolutely love the Sly series. The Sly Collection does an excellent job of porting the original trilogy to the PS3 with HD graphics. I find the games very fun and charming. The c...

I recently acquired a PS3 Kiosk from a local GameStop. They took the original TV, so I mounted a PS3 3D Display on it. This is my first time using a 3D television, so I'm anxious to start playing a fully 3D game on it. The closest upcoming title that fits the bill is Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. I'v...

I consider DDR: Mario Mix one of the worst DDR games. Mario Mix isn't really made for enthusiasts of the DDR series. It is made with newcomers in mind.

Re: Discussion: Video Games

Looks like they are going back to the old formula of 2 main versions and a follow up special version.
Pokemon X & Y have to be followed by Pokemon Z.

Then again, we never got Pokemon Gray despite the third legendary obviously being gray.
