Re: Game Music

They're not exactly retro, but: Shatter has some cool tracks. I particularly enjoy Hyperspace . Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's soundtrack has a bunch of good songs . Much of the music captures its target mood very well. Evolution & Evolution 2 for Dreamcast both had music I remember really en...

Re: Samus in Ninja Gaiden

I'm just in the beginnings of this, and so far I think the game is… well, the game is good. I'm enjoying playing it, it's presented well, the camera seems solid, and while there are some design choices that confused me at first (concentration / having to point at the screen in the heat of battle for...

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

So I had the chance to play this today at PAX. Overall, it seems like it could be good, but it still has a ways to go. In fairness, this was the E3 build, and apparently they've tweaked a number of things since then, but the physics / speed / movement seems off. If you hold right, Sonic takes a long...

Re: This awesome thing is obviously not Sega's

Wait, so if Sonic Team made an HD remake for an old game, people wouldn't be happy with that, even if it was really good? Personally, I wouldn't mind: It would show that they can still make something fun, and the could potentially use it as a springboard for new games. (Then again, I'm usually optim...

Re: Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

Nice compilation thar, Mr. Lurker. Also, it's not lost on me that that's something of a fansite fansite which is not to say that the GHZ's storied history isn't worth documenting, but is kind of amusing just the same. ;P

Re: Members save an additional 10%

SMG2 got something stupid like 17 perfect scores listed on Metacritic, for what that's worth. I've been enjoying it muchly so far: It stays fun and varied, and doesn't have the more mediocre levels that were sprinkled through the first one. Also, many little refinements (like the way you choose stag...

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

I don't think the processing power of the hardware makes a difference in the physics, and graphically is certainly outpaces the Genesis. I'm not sure I get your point, unless you mean that because the newer hardware is more powerful it should be less glitchy, which isn't really how it goes. If anyth...

Re: What are you playing today?

After I finished the final mission I noticed there was an intercom on the desk I could use to invite my love interest up to the room. First time through I didn't have a loe interest, so had no such option. Don't know if you get Kelly up that way, though. :s According to the Mass Effect wiki , Shepar...

Are you talking to her directly or trying to call her up from the intercom. I think you need to use the latter.

I think you can do that after the last mission if you save her (which you can only do if you go after everyone as soon as they are abducted).

Re: There's a Thunderdome joke in here somewhere

At a glance, I would go with Beyond Good & Evil. I'm actually still hoping that it'll show up as a downloadable / backwards compatible(?) Xbox game some time.

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

3D graphics or no, if this had come out in 1995 people would be going mental for it. It's this try-hard, fool-me-once, self-entitled whingeing that's derailing the game thus far, not any creative decision of the dev team. The important difference is that if this had been announced in 1995, the prec...

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

The two seconds of game footage looks Sonic-ie, but… episodic? The original games weren't that long, so I'm not really sure how to take that. It could be good, I guess: You could liken Sonic 3 to an episode 1 and Sonic and Knuckles to an episode 2. It could also be terrible, though, if each episode ...

Re: Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment

The one really cool thing about the original Golden Sun is when they ask you if you'll take up the quest to save the world, you can actually say no. And the game says something like "…and so they world sank into darkness." and game over's, giving you the option to choose again.
