I long for the old -= PEE MAN =- title method...
And speaking of that... someone claimed the previous PEE MAN movies were deleted. They were not, they're still on NG:

They're just under Ben Spurgin's account, not Section8Studios. And speaking of that... why?! Also, the author's comments say "FOUR new cartoons in one download!" when clearly 3 of the 4 are from 2003... But I suppose that's just overselling hyperbole parody, perhaps? #;-}>
Anyway.... I'm not quite sure why the numbering is off... perhaps because the newest should come first so as not to turn off people who weren't already fans of the series by playing the first one first... but then why is it 4, 2, 3, 1? Why not 4, 3, 2, 1 so at least the ordering makes sense? Ah well. ;_;
Seeing as how I reviewed the original three months ago, I'll just add a quick review of part 4 alone:
I don't think anything can beat ep 2 in terms of visuals and plot, or ep 1 in terms of the newness and fun and perfect music for it, or ep 3 in terms of funniest ending EVER for that matter, but... ep 4 was certainly nice to see after all this time since 1-2-3 came out (christ, 2&3 are on page 14 of my reviews right now, and 1 is on page 18, about to be 19 once I post this one).
The intro text was somewhat funny and slightly LOTR-ish, it seemed. It dragged on a bit long, and I was happy when the spaceship fell to earth and things got under way. The use of colour is certainly more varied and textured than past eps have been, and the backgrounds and camera movement seem more advanced, as well. I was glad to see some techniques return from past eps (speedy motion streaks as he flies, for example). I didn't think Pee Man himself had as good of a role nor enough screen-time, though. The ending wasn't very impressive or awe-inspiring like the very first one was. Ah well. Watching 2 right after 4, due to the weird ordering, makes the lackings of 4 even more evident (so indeed, a separate release might have been better for this one), but you can't fault a sequel for not being as kick ass as an earlier installment, constantly improving parts in a series is an impossibility. I look forward to 5.
