Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown




Just a bunch of alternate costumed Goofs
   Hey what's happening guys and gals? Today I want to take a quick look at Sega's “Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.” Now I don't claim to know much about fighting games. Sure I can button mash with the best of them, but I am not a skilled fighting game player. I don't own a fighting stick, and I've never counted frames before. I just want to explain that this review is coming from a layman's standpoint. While I've had some great memories playing other iterations of Virtua Fighter, I am by no means a master. So does this new edition of Virtua Fighter manage to rekindle those old memories? I guess you'll have to read to find out.

Jak and Daxter Collection



  Remember the abundance of mascot themed 3d platformers that seemed to engulf the landscape of the Playstation 2? There was Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Naughty Dog's own series “Jak and Daxter.” That's right, before they were working on Uncharted, Naughty Dog was buys spinning the tale of a elf boy and his little furry buddy. Well Sony hasn't forgotten about these cartoony adventures, and has just released an HD Collection of all three of the original Jak and Daxter games. Although I do have fond memories of playing the first Jak and Daxter game, I never actually played the sequels before. Let's take a look at each game individually to see how this HD collection stacks up.
