For Ps2 you easily need to try out the Holy Trinity of platformers

Ratchet & Clank 1-4

Jak and Daxter 1-X

Sly Cooper 1-3

All great for different reasons and surprisingly good stories for platformers with Sly being the deepest.

Havent played the game (yet) so I cant comment on quality but price-wise gamefly has had it for $40 a few times and comes in great condition. Otherwise I think it will be in that $35-40 range come black friday.

Incase you weren't aware any Free To Play game on PSN (Fortnite, Warzone, Rocket League, Apex, etc.) can be played online without needing ps+

This price increase is insane but at least in your case you can continue playing Fortnite

I joined them with Saints Row 3 back in the day and enjoyed 4/GOH.

I even played AND platinumed Agents of Mayhem (Depression can make you do weird things man)

But my favorite game from them will always be Red Faction Guerilla. To this day the destruction in that game still hasnt been rivaled in the AAA console market (if it has please point me in the right direction).

The gameplay was simple but the destruction added so much fun to it. Even the multiplayer had some crazy moments only possible due to those physics. I even got to the Ostrich Hammer playing in the og xbox 360 lobbies.

RIP Volition, I wish every employee the best

Paprika 3 Recipe Manager

Its a one time fee per platform ($5 for ios, ~$20 for macos, $5 for android, and ~$20 for windows) that shares recipes across platforms you're signed into.

It also downloads and formats recipes from websites so you dont need to copy and paste and reformats if you're sharing it with somebody who doesn't have the app.

When it comes to recipe apps i've found very few that are pay once or truly free. Most are free trials with limited recipe spots available.

$10 on PSN

Includes original expansions and a new one

Quake 64 included

Crossplay

Looking forward to revisiting at a reduced price but still cant help but feel a bit letdown with this just being a port. With RDR2 having so much of the RDR1 map built in it and having it already be 5 years since that launched I was hoping/expecting for a remake or even a remaster of it in the RDR2 engine.

Still, if you've never played the game before and have any interest this is a must play.

I've had a fossil watch for the past 5 years or so and love it. Its a hybrid model so it runs off of a watch batter that needs to be replaced ever 9-12 months so I dont ever need to worry about charging it.

It also looks like a standard watch so nobody ever suspects it has some smart functionality. Its very barebones in that aspect but I can see whos calling/texting me, set vibration alarms, and control my music.

I also enjoy that its swappable so if you want the Spider-Man look you can go all out and if you want to go back to the default white it only takes a few minutes of moving plastic. Wish they took advantage of this more and had plates for most first party releases.

I like that for this one they're also offering just the faceplates. Im sure its going to be overpriced for plastic but its nice that you don't need to buy a new console to get the look.

I've played a little bit of this off of Gamepass at a buddies house and it feels like asking $60 for it is too steep.

The gameplay is repetitive but fun. The maps are ok but there are too few. Teleporting dinosaurs that come out of storms is as over the top wacky as it sounds and it works.

With only have 1 mode (with a pvp or a pve finale option) it feels like it should have been launched later with more modes or for a cheaper price if they hope for this game to have legs.

Still I enjoyed my time with it and if it ever drops to $30 or joins ps+ I might pick it up again.

I dont think anything has been announced yet. The first one had ps3/4/vita crossplay so since ps5/pc crossplay is much more of a standard right now I would guess that it will be
