Just wrapped up Ratchet & Clank Crack in Time too, so only one more main game to go I guess. It's been a fun ride. They're different though and I wouldn't really compare them much to other platformers.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
Jak & Daxter is a solid 3D platformer. I played through it recently and had a godo time with it. (It is a bit easy, however.) Some other solid 3D platformers you might want to consider:Xeogred wrote:Been craving some more Super Mario Galaxy or platforming after finishing 2... so I'm thinking I might hit up Jak & Daxter or Sly 2, still got those HD collections to completely burn through.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
My brother is traveling for a couple of weeks. After much begging and pleading I let him borrow my DS + Chrono Trigger and Phantom Hourglass so he'd have something to play on the plane, etc.
I know I sound like a brat, but I hate lending stuff to people. Especially video games. Too many negative experiences in the past and most people aren't as particular and careful with my games as I am. Hopefully everything arrives back safe and sound.

I'm totally with you. It's not like you're not willing to share when they're staying at your place or something, but lending out is a whole different story.BoneSnapDeez wrote:My brother is traveling for a couple of weeks.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I get you. I have had things damaged or ruined by people I thought I could trust before as well as lending things that disappeared until someone cleaned up while preparing to move. I go through cycles of denying, then lending, then denying again. I'm in a cautious lending cycle right now, but only for things that aren't difficult to replace. Not sure I'll lend certain things out again.BoneSnapDeez wrote: I know I sound like a brat, but I hate lending stuff to people. Especially video games.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I put a value cap on games I will lend out and all disc based games go out in a generic case. That way cases and manuals do not get lost or tore up. A disc only replacement is cheaper than a complete game.
