Pumpkin Jack wants to recapture the Jak and Daxter vibe

Jumpin’ Jack Flash I playedJak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacyfor the first time in 2020, and I have zero regrets about that decision. I almost certainly would’ve clicked with it even more in 2001 (I just had a GameCube at the time), but things didn’t work out that way. The remastered PS4 version holds up really well. If you’re ever hoping for a 3D platformer in the vein ofJak and Daxterwith a bonus dash ofMediEvil, consider keeping tabs onPumpkin Jack....

Fool me… you may’t get fooled again.‘” – George W. Bush.

Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer makes me glad I can copy and paste …

… because there is no way in Hell I want to typeSöldner-X: Himmelsstürmermanually every single bloody time. Anyway, this is a trailer for the upcoming scrolling shooter from SideQuest Studios. It will be available for the PS3 via the PlayStation Network, as well as the PC, and it looks like a deliciously old-school experience. I can’t play shmups for love nor blowjobs, but I still like playing them. It’s really difficult to get a shmup wrong, and this looks like a pretty good one....
