I imagine it'd be simple enough to run polygon tech in parallel to compensate for the lack of animation. This. Like in those games that used both polygonal character/ object models on a pre-rendered background, or even on a FMV one, like Killer Instinct and Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure. After al...

I always joke that, if you bought the original ZOE + MGS2 demo bundle, you basically bought two demos for the price of one full game. The first ZOE didn't age well at all, but the second one ranges anywhere from nice to totally awesome, and it has a pretty good digest of the first one's story in the...

I think Garfield eyeing the fly was enough proof that it'd have some humor, regardless of the "dark" aesthetic. But yeah, the beginning-all-over-again thing doesn't interest me in the slightest. As for the Raimi ones, I like all three. The first one was good, second one slightly better, third one sl...

Seems to me they are going down the Saturn-era Sega path. You know, losing important devs (Kamiya, Mikami, Inafune...), canning company's mascot games, cheapening the fuck out of existing IPs and generally being all-around assholes.

Oh my god! That looks like the most fun in a Sonic game since, well, the original SA2 . I watched it 3 times in a row. I almost spat out my milk. Really? Since SA2? Try since Sonic & Knuckles. You know, a game that was actually fun. I have a lot of fun with SA2's Sonic and Shadow stages (except may...

It's the malformed lovechild of "franchise" and "franquicia". As for Adventure 1 and Colors... I don't know. "Objectively" speaking, Colors is the better game by most criteria, but Adventure feels much more like a Mega Drive Sonic game, as has been said just a couple hundred times already. Then, in ...

Oh, if it's only necessary for activating it just once then it's OK. I mean, you need an Internet connection in order to download the game, so you could activate it the moment it's finished downloading and from then on you're good to go, even without an Internet connection, right? I think Steam shou...

An Internet connection is necessary to play an offline game? That's just totally stupid. They should also cut the crap with SecuROM, a Windows PC already runs enough resource-consuming bullshit as it is.

I got to play Wii Colors over at my friend's house a week ago. It plays all right and is a fun game. The claims that it's graphically comparable to PS360 Unleashed are ludicrous, though, it looks really good for a Wii game but the lighting is very basic, and it's locked at 30 fps, which looks consid...

City Escape looks a tad bit better than it did at first. I was about to agree with Neo in that it looked... "different" in some way. Maybe it was the lighter color palette. It's too cartoony for my taste, that's been something of a trend since Unleashed, with maybe the exception of Sonic 4 and the R...

Nintendo always SAYS they'll keep supporting their old consoles and handhelds, but let's face it... that support is always minimal, and usually completely gone within in the first six months. I don't know, GameCube sales weren't that high and that may be the reason why their "extended support" was ...

Some news bits from The Magic Box : - Nintendo revealed that Wii U will not be backward compatible with GameCube games, which explains the lack of GC controller ports on the Wii U. If you want to play GameCube games you will need to keep your Wii or GameCube. - IBM announced they will provide Ninten...

Hey, the 3DS Super Mario game is looking really fun. The only thing that doesn't quite do it to me is the camera, in some parts it's positioned way too close to Mario and it's hard to see what the hell's up ahead. As for the Wii U, I agree with Tsui and Matte, the controller looks uncomfortable, big...

Broken link, Youtube's taken them down. I think those were the ones from GameTrailers: classic and modern . I'd also like to acknowledge Radrappy's comments about Adventure 2, the game is buggy in some spots (namely Crazy Gadget's last mission, which I'm trying to ace and is driving me up the wall ...

Cave's offering some of its iPhone/iPod touch titles over there as well, check them out: http://caveinteractive.com/category/games/mobile/

The Mushihime-sama spin-off looks decent enough, I guess.

It's been forever since I last held a Saturn controller in my hands (the good one, and even longer for the crappy one), and since then I'm afraid I got way too used to grips. If I had one right now (or any of the Mega Drive/Genesis ones) I can imagine myself not feeling it all that comfortable to ho...

I don't really think we've seen enough Rush-style bits to say this about the Classic stages. If anything it sounds like you're describing Sonic 4. Yeah, I keep calling 'em that despite them looking a cut above Rush and 4, but way below even 2 (save for maybe Chemical Plant). Let's say they look Adv...
