    The Precursor Legacy is one of the finest games that I have ever played.

    Ah, back to my youth when watching Jak roam through snowy mountains and lush jungles with his orange side-kick Daxter perched upon his shoulder was a common occurrence. The Precursor Legacy, without spoiling it for you... Read Full Review
