Well, Jak & Daxter sucks… I have a feeling this game didn’t suck when it originally came out, but boy has it aged. For those not in the know, Jak is a 3D platformer, ala Mario64… and unfortunately it doesn’t stray far from the Mario64 style. The story is non-existent and the goal of the game is to collect ‘power cells’ (or stars in Mario talk). But, the “go collect crap” gameplay has gotten SO old by now that I just don’t have the patience for it, especially since I’ve recently played some good 3D platformers (Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper) that don’t rely on collection as the primary goal. To be fair, R&C and Sly both came out after Jak and both clearly built off what Jak did right… But, after playing those two, going back to Jak is like going back to B&W TV after experiencing color.
I just picked up the Ratchet & Clank sequel today… I don’t think I’ll ever finish Jak (I’m halfway through it). That also means that I will probably never check out Jak 2 either…
I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate loss of time.
I saw on TV that they made a show about you. Maybe this will make you feel better.

What's the deal jake? did you run dry of interesting things to say? have you not beat any cool games lately? why don't you give a shout out for UT2K4? I KNOW you got some good things to say about that, like how the bots are actually challenging now.....and how cool I am.
Um, Micah... Maybe you should update YOUR site once in a while before bitchin' about how often I update mine!!
