PS2 Backlog Committee

Phase and cane, if you're longing for the PS2 days, I'll recommend The Good Life. It's definitely taking me back to that era in a good way. It's not for everyone, but if you like the idea of an open world village where you're solving a mystery (about why everyone is so happy), doing quests for quirk...

You’re right, when it comes to Soulslike games it’s more about learning, observing, patience, perseverance and trial-and-error than it is about raw skill. But for me that’s a lot more effort and work than I’m willing to put into something that I do for escapism, entertainment and fun. If I dread pl...

Yeah, that's a shame, although to be fair, they were reabsorbed by another division.

I said it WAAAY back on the IGN boards, and it's still true - Insomniac is THE top Sony developer in my book, better than Naughty Dog any day of the week. Has there ever been a bad mainline R&C game? I say no. I completely agree. I also enjoy ND, but Insomniac is better in line with my personal...

Glad to hear you're hanging in there argyle. Sorry you've got so much on your plate. Ah life...
