Re: Sonic ..Excursion?

I'm still not expecting Adventure-quality titles out of them yet, but I like the trajectory they're on. What's that supposed to mean? The Adventure games are little more than a couple of sub-par(and even that's being pretty generous) games that have aged poorly. Colours and Generations had their is...

Re: Sonic 1 and 2 getting Sonic CD style remakes

This... really doesn't seem particularly exciting or interesting to me. The difference between Sonic 1 & 2 and Sonic CD is that prior to the 2011 rerelease of Sonic CD the only rereleases were a couple of pretty shoddy ports. In comparison Sonic 1 & 2 have been rereleased on just about every recent ...

Re: Urkel to reprise the voice of Sonic in upcoming fan film

I really don't get what they were trying to do with this. It seemed to take itself ridiculously seriously for a film about a blue hedgehog that runs fast. It wasn't that enjoyable and parts of it were just cringe worthy.

Star Wars Episode 7

Disney have bought Lucasfilm and announced Star Wars Episode 7. This just seems like some kind of weird joke. I'm not completely against this and it could lead to something good but it just seems a bit pointless. Still, if Disney own the rights now maybe they will release the unaltered versions of ...

Re: Next Smash Bros. games to be made by Namco Bandai

It's a bit of a surprise but I don't see much point in worrying at the moment. No real details about the game are known whatsoever at present plus it seems Sakurai is still involved as well. I do wonder what will happen with third party characters this time though. If Namco are working on the game t...

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed announced

First details and videos on IGN. I'm glad to see there's going to be a sequel. I really enjoyed the first one. My only major complaint was that there was a bit too much focus on the Sonic series but unfortunately I can't see that changing. I'm not keen on the idea of the transforming vehicles gimmi...

Re: It's a-me! Again!

Usually I'd be quite excited about a new Mario platform game but that just looks really lazy. They could have at least given the game a new art style. If it plays as well as the Wii game then I guess it won't matter.

Re: Sega release trailer for.. Sonic CD? What?

Xbox version is out at least now. I've just downloaded it and played through Palmtree Panic a few times. This is a damn good port. For such a cheap release it's nice to see something that's had a bit of effort put into it. It's nice to have the option for the Sonic 2 spindash although I didn't find ...

Re: What are you playing today?

So, I've just started playing the latest Zelda game. Skyward Sword. When it was announced I didn't really take much interest in it. The last few Zelda games have been underwhelming to say the least and Skyward Sword didn't really look that different to previous titles. Despite that, I still ended up...

On Generations itself - it look nice, but it it looks like a rental game and not a first-day-buy type of game. Anyone else feel this way? It's cool and all how there's a lot of old tunes in the game, but cool tunes didn't help Heroes. This is kind of how I'm feeling. I wasn't overly impressed with ...

The spin dash still goes stupidly fast though. I had more fun with this version than the last demo but it still felt like an...

Well, that seems to match up with that leaked level list that was going around. Pretty disappointing selection of levels but I'm not too surprised. Also: Silver boss fight? What the fuck? I could tolerate him in a support role but that seems like a complete waste of a boss fight.

So, it seems Casino Night is going to be some kind of pre-order bonus.

Strange move. I wonder if it's one of those cases where it will be DLC that's already on the disc and this gives you a code to unlock it with everyone else having to pay for it later.
