PS2 Backlog Committee

Speaking of playing games in college reminds me of a funny story. We used to mostly play Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES and Street Fighter II Champion (SNES). Well, we tried setting up a league on Tecmo Super Bowl a few times, with a group of us each picking a team. (No Bo Jackson Raiders allowed, lol...

Dead Cells is all about finding the right build. It's tough but not frustratingly so, if you played & beat something like Hades (can't remember if you have or not) I'd say it's about on par with that difficulty-wise. I'm just talking about beating them both once btw, not the over & over to ...

I'm laughing as I picture a 3-year-old (the box says "3+") trying to match a bunch of upside-down or crooked button prompts while a Woozle approaches. :lol: My grandson is 3 and he's still learning how to make Astrobot walk forward without falling lol. (Can't seem to figure out camera orie...

Played recently: The Messenger Finished: The Messenger Added to backlog: nothing yet I finally beat The Messenger over the weekend. Great game with fun platforming and cool bosses along with plenty of charm and humor. https://media.giphy.com/media/3ogZPD9PkR1rXXgWRO/giphy.gif But it taught me that m...

I like the idea of getting loot in a twin-stick shooter. Are there better games that do that? I guess you could count the various power-ups and items in a game like Vampire Survivors, but I'm thinking more along the lines of true gear that changes your look AND your abilities.

When I finally wrap up Crimson Desert - and I have no idea when that will be, I've crossed the 300 hour mark and still rolling - I'll probably be in the mood for some shorter stuff from my backlog. Probably one of the many sidesplorers I've been sleeping on, but who knows. The only releases this ye...

Trying my best to plan out the next 9 months with the release dates announced recently. June 2026 - 007 First Light July 2026 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 August 2026 - Octopath Traveler 0 September 15, 2026 - Marvel's Wolverine November 19, 2026 - GTA VI January 15, 2027 - Stranger Than Heaven (Y...

Ha, it's not that the game is brutally difficult. I was serious when I said a competent person would have 50 deaths. I just suck. Old man reflexes. (But also old man persistence! )

That's good to hear, argyle. I really enjoyed Muramasa on Vita back in the day. I'm sorry...5...hundred times? I don't know if I could take that. Yep. Quarble (little shithead) tells you how many times he's "saved" you. :x https://www.spriters-resource.com/media/asset_icons/111/113762.png ...

That one was much-hyped as a PS2 hidden gem. I think I played the demo (or maybe I grabbed the actual game?) but it didn't click with me for whatever reason.
