This week’s Question of the Week: “Ever purchase new games for an unsupported console?”
PlayStation 2 fans may recall a little title called Okami, it’s an action adventure game developed by Clover Studios and published by Capcom. The original Okami title received fairly high reviews by many popular game sites, although there were a few flaws, the receiption seemed well received.
Nice to have a three man podcast again 🙂
@Occulous Rift: This is the first I’m hearing it called an absolute joke after seeing constant praise for this device.
I agree with the bring on the Holodeck sentiment, I’m sure society will fall apart when everyone decides to live in one.
@Simcity offline: This feels a bit like too little too late for me.
@QOTW: I once bought a Neo-geo and ten games for 20 dollars from a pawn shop. The games were a soccor side scrolling platformer, a space game that didn’t look better than Star Fox, a mystery game with very cheap animation, a doom clone and DragonSlayer. Aside from Dragonslayer most of these games looked like they could have been done on the other consoles at the time. We eneded up using it as a media player, funny how a out of date console can play CD’s while the Ps4 and Xbone can’t.
