It sounds to me that you just hate sequels purely because they are sequels that do little to nothing for the enhancement of the core game, despite how good or much fun the end product is overall. I guess that also means it would be impossible for you to get excited over that Katamari sequel Gibbon, ...

Vader is such a damn cheater.

Regardless, he wasn't able to guess "USB flash disk". He got my first attempt of "joystick" though.

I don't know about the rest of you GHZers. You scorn modern Sonic games because they're not like the classics, but you continue to do so when Sonic doesn't do anything new? So what is it, to evolve or devolve? I guess in some situations, you just can't win. We whine about the new Sonic games becaus...

After watching those trailers Machenstein posted, I've come to the conclusion that Shadow the Hedgehog still looks horrible to play (*Shock! Horror!*). Apart from the levels being too dark visually and thematically, Sonic doing jack all when tagging along with Shadow, and the melee/gun attacks looki...

Hearing no info to the contrary, I would assume the only features that will be taken out from the PC port will be the ability to change the resolution, colour depth and draw distance from the options menu. But honestly, I don't understand why you would care about having a maximum of 4 players, becau...

You might have luck placing the .dll into the C:/Windows/System or System32 folders and running the emulator then. If not, then it's probably the wise idea to just delete them. I think that you should just find the correct BIOS file, though.

It appears that the excitement will never stop. From a link off that page Ancient posted, it's now been announced that Sonic 1 will be ported to mobile phones (Panasonic's VS3 to be precise), and will be given a Sonic Advance style hub, but lacking the bonus stages. http://www.gamespot.com/mobile/ac...

Also, what's with that gauge on the left? It better not have anything to do with "rubbing." That gauge allows Sonic (and presumably Blaze) to active "Rush Mode" if its filled, making them practically invincible, or so I hear. The only thing I'm concerned about with this game is the dual screens bei...

The phantom concept is somewhat interesting, but it could just end-up being another gimmick like the team-play concept in Sonic Heroes . I'm worried about that too. From the trailer, it seems the phantom will function similarly to the gravity gun featured in Half Life 2, what with the ability to le...

Speaking as a FPS player, I would have to say that this looks relatively OK. The textures and models seem alright, but the primitive level geometry is worrisome. I sincerely hope it significantly improves the further the game is developed. Although I find it strange that Sega are making a FPS (assum...

Sobering thoughts, indeed. Do we have a tech head here who can translate the specs? How much more powerful than Xbox 1 is the 360 supposed to be? The 360 supposedly has a processor clock speed of 3.2GHz over its three symetrical processor cores. A standard XBox only has a clock speed of 733MHz. The...

Looking at that, I think it would be far more terrifying to just install the game, rather than actually playing it. But that's no great achievement for a game that merely respawns demons behind you ad nauseam for the thrills.

But not on the same level as Legendary Frog's overrated-ness. If you can name any other flash artist who has worse humour with a greater fanbase, then please enlighten me.

But wait... when Sonic gets the Master Emerald, Angel Island is already in the ocean; when Knuckles beats Mecha Sonic, the Island is still floating...

I personally believe the reason it’s not being developed for the DS or PSP is because, in the likely event that it merely turns out to be an enhanced port of the Mega Drive original, it would make better sense to fit in into the games line-up of the GBA, what with its plethora of SNES and NES...

Does Nanaca Crash need any more skill apart from timing a 45 degree angle and obtaining max power?
