I just started Ratchet and clank and Jak and Daxter collecting myself so far got all the ratchet and clank games for the ps2 and ps3, for Jak and Daxter I only have Jak 1 for the ps2 I’m still looking for a complete Jak 2 and Jak 3 for the ps2 and Jak and Daxter collection for the ps3.

    I had a lot of fun playing Black on my friend's Xbox back in the day. I think it was even more fun on that because you can upload your own music from CD onto the Xbox hard rive and play the music as background music while playing games. Good memory of blasting enemies in Black with Paul Oakenfold's Bunkka in the background. Granada!!

    I’ve watched a few of your videos & enjoy your rambling, overly self conscious delivery. Subbed.
    Funny you should say GTA3 is the one you played the least, as it’s the one I played the most. Vice City just felt like it was trying too hard & GTA 3 still has the best camera option (behind your vehicle, but raised up enough so you could clearly see the road ahead). I’ll never know why they removed that camera option for Vice City, but it made that game less fun to play.

    can I suggest on ps3 some of the light gun titles! House of dead 4 (ps3 exclusive!) along with 3 and Overkill
    Gal Gun (unique Japanese fan service light gun fun!)
    Time Crisis Razing storm and 4 (deadstorm pirates)
    Resident Evils (darkside chronicles / umbrella chronicles)
    Move controllers and the camera are really easy to find now but might get lost to time soon! two player these titles are a must!
    If you can also find a move navigation controller you can play resident evil 5 gold edition which is very engaging as its in the Wii style similar resident evil 4 port using wiimote-nunchuck (similar experience). The same applies to Bioshock Infinite and it's very playable and unique way to do so!
