Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2007/04/spm_complaining_425px.jpg Sorry, I couldn't resist. From what I've seen(and I haven't seen the leaked gameplay videos either) I don't think it looks that bad but I don't think it looks particularly great either. Some of the complaints being made ...

Re: First game I ever played

I'm not too sure. I remember the first console I owned was an Atari 2600 and think the first game I played on it was either Jr Pac-Man or Crystal Castles. I also vaguely remember playing a Popeye game at the arcade but whether that was first or not I really can't remember. Topics like this make me f...

Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

When I was a kid I liked Super Sonic, but now I wouldn't care for him. That sums up my feelings. It's little more than a glorified invicibility cheat and I don't know why people make such a fuss seeing it return. I hope they at least let you switch it on and off this time rather than have it perman...

Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

Sega's blog has been updated with a character. Basically, there's a picture with a list of potential playable characters and they're going to eliminate them to reveal the true playable characters. It's something I guess but it still looks like they're just trying to screw with fans at the moment. S...

Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

So basically all they've done is released a trailer for a game that doesn't even really exist(sort of)? That must be a new low.

Re: Its a me! Agony!

It's balls that you can only save after each castle. I'd prefer to play each stage one at a time and get all the Star Coins before moving on, but that's too frustrating and time consuming without being able to save after each stage. I assume the option for saving any time will open after clearing t...

Not exactly that different to past collections but it might be worth buying if the games are ported well.

Re: Its a me! Agony!

Got this today. I was a bit weary this time around after being a bit disappointed with the DS game and not being overly impressed with what I'd seen of this one. I've played through most of World 1 so far and my first impression is that it is still a bit of retread but it doesn't feel like as much o...

Re: More Mario & Sonic at the Olympics?

The demo seems to be working now. It consists of the alpine skiing event with Mario & Sonic as the only playable characters. It's not bad but the touch screen controls just feel awkward and it doesn't make me want to get the full game.

Re: More Mario & Sonic at the Olympics?

There's a demo of the DS version on the Nintendo Channel now(well, the UK one at least). However, it doesn't seem to work. I've tried downloading it twice and both times it just comes up with the Nintendo logo and doesn't go any further. Maybe the game is even more broken than Sonic '06.

That trailer is just cringeworthy. It feels like they're really desperate to win back the old fans who've long since abandoned this franchise.

Gameplay footage of Mario Circuit and Radical Highway courses.

Looks like they're making a bit more effort to take advantage of the crossover this time around but I'm still not convinced about the overall quality of this game so far.

Re: More Mario & Sonic at the Olympics?

Perhaps we should just be glad that Sega didn't use this game as an excuse to introduce an Eggman Jr. But yeah, Silver's continued appearances in the series is just baffling.

So, what about that other billionaire superhero then?

Seriously, Iron Man 2 is looking pretty cool. The first film may have been no Dark Knight but it was still one of the better superhero films.

Re: How appropriate you fight like a cow

I've played through the first episode. It's good but it feels like it's lacking something. Decent but not exactly Monkey Island at it's best. Still, it's probably worth noting that most of Telltale's episodic series hit their peak in the later episodes so I'm sure things will probably improve as the...

Theres's some new screenshots of the DS version at IGN including some screens from what looks like the game's story mode. Ugh. A story. What were they thinking?

The Monkey Island series is making a return with both a HD re-release of the original Secret of Monkey Island and a new episodic five part series. I'm pretty glad to hear this.

A winter Olympics themed Mario & Sonic game is rumored to be the way with Eurogamer claiming they've had confirmation of it from a secret source. Considering how successful Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games ended up being this is hardly a surprise. It was still appearing in the UK top 10 game chart...
