I picked up a used copy of Um Jammer Lammy at my local game store the other day and really enjoyed it. Been having a lot of fun revisiting the PS1, and I grabbed a couple Polyphony games, Gran Turismo and Omega Boost off eBay. Love any excuse to spend some time with old hardware at my dedicated CRT ...

Just read Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball by John Chad. It's a nice, light read that I finished in a single commute to and from work on the train. It's certainly not the deepest dive you can find on the topic, but it's a beautifully-illustrated overview of the history of a game I know ...

Platinum 🏆#️⃣4️⃣6️⃣ is Ninja Master from Ninja Five-O . Although the trophies are awarded on a more granular basis, all you have to do to get this platinum is beat the game on Hard difficulty (you will get the rest en route). Unfortunately, this is one of those games that requires you to first clear...

Platinum 🏆#️⃣4️⃣5️⃣ is Champion Of The Diamond! from MLB The Show 24 . This was a super easy ~5hr platinum—a far cry from the previous years, which generally required you to devote your life to them. This is another bit of evidence supporting my belief that Sony has intentionally moved toward easier...

Platinum 🏆#️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ is It can't be for nothing from The Last of Us Part I . Nice trophy set that required getting all the collectibles and of course finishing the game (and its DLC chapter Left Behind ). This is the first time I've made heavy use of the "Game Hints" feature of the PS5, whi...

Never been crazy about the Ratchet games, gave this one a try a year ago and fell off after an hour or so. Gave it another shot and enjoyed it quite a bit. Once you get past the opening the game opens up more and gives you more abilities and agency. Fun little story and an absolute spectacle of par...

Last of Us excels in the story department. Gameplay works okay though I think it can be more difficult than it needs to be at times (at least in my experience). Also finding all collectibles without a guide wouldn’t be reasonable, which I think is another downside. Yeah, I'm expecting the story wil...
