I like turtles.

Last [good] Spyro was the third one in 2000. Forgot all about Tak, I guess I never found that game as fun as its predecessors.

Go hundo or go home, the completion reward is amazing.

I like turtles.

I remember seeing ads for that and not hearing so much as "boo" about it a short while after. I guess that's why I never bothered to pick it up myself.

I like turtles.

That was my reasoning with Ape Escape and Tomb Raider when I picked them up at a local game trade store. Still haven't touched the former or beaten the latter though. >_>

I bet tomb raider 1 is so clunky by modern standards

Turtle

I like turtles.

For sure, though it's also still a really neat game. I was impressed with a lot of the puzzles for when the game was released.

you know, i never played tomb raider either, and when the reboot came out a few years ago i decided to go back and play some of them

not the ps1 ones of course because that would be masochism, but i got the legacy collection or whatever it was, the one with 3 games

played the first one and actually enjoyed it quite a bit, i think that was tomb raider legacy

ah no, legend

DJGrenola

2016-01-08 05:37:56 pm

i think that's the one I have on the 360, I played that quite a bit and it was good fun

red chamber dream

so i still have anniversary and underworld to play, i guess

yeah it's kinda like metroid prime meets prince of persia

Turtle

I like turtles.

Oh yeah, the 2013 reboot. That one pleasantly surprised me too, though it didn't seem very related to "Tomb Raider" except that it had an attractive British lass named "Lara" as the protagonist.

i'm totally fine with that. i loved the 2013 one and am really looking forward to the new one when it comes to ps4 ... heard it's way, way better

Turtle

I like turtles.

I'll be getting it on PC rather than PS4, but same here. At least worth checking it out.

It does sort of disappoint me how all those games have become homogenised, like you have uncharted, prince of Persia and tomb raider and they all have very similar wallclimbing mechanics

DJGrenola

2016-01-08 05:43:14 pm

I mean those mechanics do work but it would be nice to see something else

DJGrenola

2016-01-08 05:44:43 pm

Don't ask me what though
