Graham and Jenni check out an obscure promotional PlayStation 2 disc from Japan! Included are modified demos of PaRappa the Rapper 2 and Ape Escape spinoff Piposaru 2001, as well as a video of the Piposaru mascot and a pal checking out New York City.
Teardown out today, November 15, all other titles available from November 21.
Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.
If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.
It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.
Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.
Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.
I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.
The 1990s were a golden era for gaming soundtracks and gaming as a whole. Here's some of the OSTs that defined the decade.
I would also include Super Metroid and the original Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES. Both had superb soundtracks!
PSN:
While the base game is fun, the short overall length keeps Parappa 2 from being a classic that really stands the test of time. I’d probably give it a half-hearted recommendation to gamers who want to see where rhythm games were before the age of plastic peripherals. But it’ll take some effort to get more than an afternoon or two’s worth of entertainment out of the title.
