CLOSING COMMENTS
As a gamer who likes to relive some of my favorite games, I find the HD collections to be an awesome way to get rewarded for nostalgia. And now Sony has released two of the three platforming hall of famers from the PS2. While I find myself more disappointed than I expected that games like Jak X, Daxter and even The Lost Frontier (ugh) aren’t included in the package, The Jak and Daxter Collection has reminded me why I fell in love with the series, and Naughty Dog as a developer.

Jack DeVries is an Associate Editor at IGN and f#%$ing loves every Jak game, except that crappy one with Dark Daxter. You can follow him on Twitter.

Mass Media made awesome new title screens, and created dozens of unique trophies.

Fantastic upscaling make the later two games shine. The first looks good too, but aged.

Daxter is the epitome of awesome voice acting. Yeah, I said it.

Platformers have fallen out of favor recently, but these are some of the best in the genre.
