For Ps2 you easily need to try out the Holy Trinity of platformers

Ratchet & Clank 1-4

Jak and Daxter 1-X

Sly Cooper 1-3

All great for different reasons and surprisingly good stories for platformers with Sly being the deepest.

Havent played the game (yet) so I cant comment on quality but price-wise gamefly has had it for $40 a few times and comes in great condition. Otherwise I think it will be in that $35-40 range come black friday.

Incase you weren’t aware any Free To Play game on PSN (Fortnite, Warzone, Rocket League, Apex, etc.) can be played online without needing ps+

This price increase is insane but at least in your case you can continue playing Fortnite

I joined them with Saints Row 3 back in the day and enjoyed 4/GOH.

I even played AND platinumed Agents of Mayhem (Depression can make you do weird things man)

But my favorite game from them will always be Red Faction Guerilla. To this day the destruction in that game still hasnt been rivaled in the AAA console market (if it has please point me in the right direction).

The gameplay was simple but the destruction added so much fun to it. Even the multiplayer had some crazy moments only possible due to those physics. I even got to the Ostrich Hammer playing in the og xbox 360 lobbies.

RIP Volition, I wish every employee the best

Paprika 3 Recipe Manager

Its a one time fee per platform ($5 for ios, ~$20 for macos, $5 for android, and ~$20 for windows) that shares recipes across platforms you’re signed into.

It also downloads and formats recipes from websites so you dont need to copy and paste and reformats if you’re sharing it with somebody who doesn’t have the app.

When it comes to recipe apps i’ve found very few that are pay once or truly free. Most are free trials with limited recipe spots available.

$10 on PSN

Includes original expansions and a new one

Quake 64 included

Crossplay

Personally I’m most interested in replaying Ape Escape on the Loose. That was my intro back in the day, its going to be fun seeing a psp game stretched out to 4k.

Know of any good ones? I have one but it kept crashing and when it didnt it had a 4 second delay.

Looking forward to revisiting at a reduced price but still cant help but feel a bit letdown with this just being a port. With RDR2 having so much of the RDR1 map built in it and having it already be 5 years since that launched I was hoping/expecting for a remake or even a remaster of it in the RDR2 engine.

Still, if you’ve never played the game before and have any interest this is a must play.

Great minds! Lol.

And I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been in a weird mood to play a train game but couldn’t find anything that grabbed me. This looks like it just might do the trick. Im excited to have a reason to get back into Dreams!

It also shows the potential Dreams had/has not just with the creation but also distribution. If they put a new game like this (media molecule seal of approval) on Dreams even just once a month I could see it keeping a dedicated group of players around.

I would have been cool to see a world where we have a monthly lineup for PS+ Essentials, PS+ Extra/Premium, and Dreams Curated.

Thats a great idea! That’ll give me time to dust off Dreams and re-familiarize myself with some of the creations.

Hoping this comes with Crossplay

No problem! I’ve used it to save a bunch of creations over the years but I still need to get around to playing them

For anybody wanting to get an early start check out the Dreams website to add creations to your play later list.

I’ve had a fossil watch for the past 5 years or so and love it. Its a hybrid model so it runs off of a watch batter that needs to be replaced ever 9-12 months so I dont ever need to worry about charging it.

It also looks like a standard watch so nobody ever suspects it has some smart functionality. Its very barebones in that aspect but I can see whos calling/texting me, set vibration alarms, and control my music.
