FEATURE: The Games I'm Currently Playing - Volume 4!

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy HD
System
: PlayStation 3

Fun Fact: The game was originally going to have a third main character
I played this game back originally on the PlayStation 2 (That seems so far way), and I instantly fell in love with it - the simple fact alone the game spawns from the offices of Naughty Dog made me instantly think that yes, this game is going to be incredibly fun and there's going to be a lot of laughs along the way.

So, thanks to PlayStation+, the original trilogy of the Jak series was released, I was ecstatic about this because it gave me a chance to play one of my favourite platformers of all time once again - this time in HD and with trophy support. I admit, I'm a sucker for trophies. 

Jak II HD
System: PlayStation 3


Since I have recently finished the first in the series, it would make sense to go straight on to it's sequel; Jak II Renegade. I have had the original PlayStation 2 version in my collection for quite some time but never really got around to playing it properly.

I'm about 25% into the main storyline and to be honest, this game has nothing on The Precursor Legacy. I do enjoy the gameplay and the narrative is entertaining enough, but something is missing - maybe it's the lack of collectibles and the linear mission system.

Of course, I'll still finish the game and I may even change my mind but at this point, I see Jak II as a downgrade from The Precusor Legacy.

Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters
System: MegaDrive/Genesis

Fun Fact: Lethal Enforcers I and II were bundled together on
one disc for the PlayStation release.
Lethal Enforcers is a series I've never heard of until recently when a friend suggested playing it, I'm aware their are many versions of the game - arcade, Sega CD, and so fourth but I'm playing the MegaDrive version currently.

The game is light gun compatible, but without having an actual light gun I had to play through it using a gamepad, which was quite awkward if I'm being honest, however I did finish it and still had a ton of fun. 

I'm currently in the process of  re-playing the game but this time with light gun support, with the use of an emulator and I can say it's so much more fun and a whole lot easier to play, the hit system is actually really well done.

It plays like most light gun games - shoot enemies, try to not shoot the innocents, and try not to get yourself killed along the way. Really nice game set in the wild west, but in no way a contender to the likes of Time Crisis. Feature1
