Too bad I'll never buy a PS3.
Speaking of companies owned by one console developer, I'll never forgive Microsoft for stealing Rare from Nintendo and I'll never forgive Rare for making Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
...
Yes I realize that's completely unrelated. Just felt like a brief rant while I remember that Retro Studios picked up Rare's Donkey Kong Country series quite admirably and I really should finish that game. But Zelda.
Fallen leaves... adorn my night.

Yeah, but that would never happen. Sony owns Naughty Dog, so I can't see them going to Nintendo any time soon.

All I can say about the original CTR (Crash Team Racing) on PS1....it was much much better than Mario Kart 64!
Tru dat! The original CTR is amazing game!

Nuts and Bolts was decent. While I do have mixed feelings about the game, I don't think it deserves quite the flack it gets. It just didn't live up to the insane standards of Kazooie and Tooie. I liked idea of vehicle creation, though it should be a one time thing, but it needed balancing (especially the Kazooie Clockwork eggs. Those were insanely broken). The game also put forward a number of unique and interesting challenges, some of which were very clever and put your mind to work.

Time to play Bioshock Infinite the proper way. I sold my PS3 version and got the PC version as part of a sale. lol Somebody bought my copy within 10 minutes of when I placed it for order.

I haven't started it just yet, since I just got home from 4th of July stuff, and it's 1:30 in the morning, but I just picked up the first Jak and Daxter game from Goodwill for about four bucks. I've never played any of these games before, and remember hearing a lot of good stuff about it. Isn't this one of the first 3D platformer games that moved away from being a mindless collect-a-thon, or am I mis-remembering it with something else? Either way, there was a really long period of time where I didn't play any of the new platformer games that came out, with these being one of them, so it'll be nice to play through. I'm kind of wondering, though. Just how long is this game?

If you have a PS3 you should get the Jak and Daxter Trilogy, Sly Raccoon Trilogy and Ratchet & Clank Trilogy. Aside from the former trilogy* and the 3rd Ratchet & Clank game, they're all worth your money. I haven't played any Jak and Daxter so can't comment on them* but I've heard they're good.

Jak and Daxter is a great game. I've still yet to play the sequels. Haven't tried out Sly yet and Rachet and Clank is a great game as well.
Jak and Daxter and Rachet and Clank are like the Crash and Spyro of the PS2 era.

Yes and no. The first game is still a collect-a-thon of sorts, but it does it very differently than, say, Mario 64. You've got this big open world, and because of the plot, you're trying to get to the north. But there are obstacles. For example, to get past the Fire Canyon near the beginning of the game, you need 20 power cells to power the heat shield on the zoomer so you can cross it safely. The power cells are all hidden throughout the world, so rather than follow an Enter stage->Do task->Get Item formula, it's more like Explore Big Cool World->Find Item. As for length, it depends. You need 72 power cells to get to the final area of the game, which shouldn't take too long. You need 100 of the 101 to view the secret ending (which hints at the second game), which can take a bit longer. It's all a matter of if you know where to find them. So... I guess I'd compare the first time length to about a typical 3D Mario game, although replaying it, the length goes down a lot.
However, if you move on to the second and third game, they play a lot differently. Still 3D platformers, but much darker, with eco guns and vehicles and linear story progression that doesn't focus at all on collecting items.

I decided to be like Ventus and do a run of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 run this time on PS3 as opposed to 360. I hope to finish these two games before Lightning Returns comes out in February. Also, I got futher into the Last of Us. Clickers are not much of a pain anymore. It was actually quite fun to sneak past them. And then I run into Bloaters. His stink bombs are a bit tricky to dodge. Out of curiosity, how far am I right now? I just got past the High School part of the game.

Bought Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Generations off Steam thanks to the sale. Sonic Adventure 2 because it's cheap and awesome, Generations because all the mods. Installed Generations Unleashed, and it's pretty awesome so far.

Been playing Touhou 12.5: Double Spoiler lately. If you play this, you are going to die a LOT. It is a very difficult game (I probably died like 100 times and I'm at the start of Stage 6 out of 12).

Not too far, actually. You can find out by going to the Save Game option from the menu, then hovering over your save file. It'll give you a percent completion.
So Moosh and Dan and I all decided to try to race Touhou Seven. Good lord that game is hard... I think I've had my fill of Touhou for a while.

Get used to it. 7 is one of the easier games in the series. You will be destroyed if you went for 11 and 12. Personally, the furthest I got in 7 was to the second-last spellcard attack on the final boss.

So are you going try doing a 100% run on them?, because that's what I done.You won't believe how many times I've run through them both and 100%.
Just for a fun run because I love 13, and 13-2 so freaking much.
Anyways I other gaming news I'm taking a break from the Newer mod for NSMBW, by playing Super Mario Galaxy! I've been meaning play it again for awhile now, I have to say its one of my favorite 3D Mario games so far.
