Yeah...that was cheesy...even by Sonic standards.
I'm thinking that the RPG-inspired story for Sonic 2006 was Sonic Team's last-gasp effort to win back the Japanese. But if they had any sense left in...
Also a good point. (Although I don't know whether the "carboard hero" would apply here or not.) What I meant in calling him a "cardbo...
The "This series is about Sonic, and as such should be focused soley on Sonic" is the exact same arguement people against the Sonic Adventur...
I agree wit Chad, too. And I didn't mean to bash Toby for prefering AoSth...I liked AoStH as a kid, but now, I see it for what it was: A slapstick c...
Having Ben Hurst as an outsider was a benefit to the show. He turned what was just a platforming mascot into a true hero viewers could root for, and ...
The first review of the boxset is in, courtesy of IGN... ...And they weren't terribly impressed. dvd.ign.com/articles/769/769137p1.html They gave i...
My top 3: 1) Steven Butler (He's a personal fave of mine) 2) J. Axer (Just gotta love his level of detail) 3) Spaz (His older cover art was the stuff...
Japan is Sonic Team's native people...that's what makes them so special. Americans are kinda the same way when they view the rest of the world...they...
He jumped ship with Secret Rings. I think that the RPG-inspired story of Sonic 2006 was Sonic Team's last-gasp effort to draw back their dwindling Ja...
I always had a feeling that Sonic Team is largely apathetic towards their non-Japanese audiences. It sickens me. It really does. The SatAM boxset m...
The final verdicts are actually lower than I thought...I expected IGN's Matt Cassamassina to be such a blowhard, but Shane Bettanhausen's score surpri...
Hmm...I kinda expected 1up's Shane to give it at least an 8, and be the game's high score. And it has a soundtrack so bad that it's good? Sounds ee...
Like I said, Veckums, the game hasn't aged well. But it was good in 1999, and I have nothing but fond memories of it. Cassamassina's comments, thoug...
I have a best friend who's a lifelong Mario fan, but also enjoys Sonic games, both 2D and 3D. Oddly enough, he prefers SA over SM64...for its music! ...
Even I would admit that SA1 isn't aging particularily well...but it was great in its day back in 1999...what Cassamassina is saying is that the game w...
To people like Cassamassina...yeah, it is 1993. I've been tracking what Cassamassina has written about the Sonic series over a few years now, and he'...
I listened to an IGN podcast that discussed Secret Rings...they were far less sympathetic than the two at EGM. But that's what happens when you get o...
First Secret Rings video review is in: gonintendo.com/?p=13346 It's done by two EGM editors.
I was half-joking. Maybe not kill them...but hurt them, say give 'em a bloody nose or an injury that requires stitches... And in regards to the revi...
Well...to explain my mini-rant against 1up...for quite some time now, I have been souring towards EGM and its parent website. I dislike how over the ...
I have thin skin...and I really don't like the forum community they have over there at 1up. Many of their forum memberes think only THEY know what's ...
Oh...and then I read on. He then goes on to say that "Sonic fans are so lame that they like to draw pictures of Tails having sex." Now he'...
I just went back and read that 1up article a little more closely...then stopped when Parish stated in the introduction saying that "Nowadays, Son...
I've always felt personally that Sonic X serves the sole purpose of catering to contemporary gamer fans...so anything pertaining to SegaSonic belongs ...
Alright...I'll concede that maybe I'm being a little to hard on Ian...he is, after all, in the unenviable position of having to do a balancing act bet...
Maybe its my personal distaste with recent storylines and plotpoints in the SegaSonic continuity contributing to my skepticism.
I seriously hope these "spoilers" are a joke...because if they are not, then I'm not resubscribing.
I'm so, so worried that Ian is tilting towards SegaSonic with #176 with that preview saying its just Tails Knux, and Amy at his side. If that happens...
Yeah...that reboot was so botched.
I read that 1up article...and it failed to impress me. Why can't these "professionals" understand that: A) Speed is not, nor should it be...
Yeah, the missing year could've been handled a hell of a lot better. I'm still scatching my head over the botched Antione story. For the first time ...
I'm betting on the return of Enerjak as a villain.
If the Bem could've deroboticized Bunnie, they would have taken her along with the other Robians and deroboticized her in #123.
Here's another possible solution to Bunnie's situation: Have her get bionics which appear organic on the surface, but are robotic on the inside.
I agree with Veckum's analysis. Secret Rings and its on-rails gameplay are a stop-gap measure. If the franchise is ever to get back on track....it n...
Ian's trying to revive Enerjak? Good. It's good to see that the remnants of the defunct Knuckles series aren't being phased out as I had feared. An...
I have delusions of grandeur every day...so I can empathize with this Kuta guy a little.
I was initially excited by news of this...but now I'm skeptical.
Dang it...I thought you meant it for real...not some ridiculous fan redubs.
I like the Crush 40 version of "His World"...but that's because I like John Gioelli's singing voice.
I've been expecting it to be Bunnie and Antoine too, but I would also laugh my butt off if it ended up being Chuck and Rosie. I've felt that Ian's st...
MY GOD! I can never unwatch that... Not even the most inane dialogue from Heroes could top that.
I'm still looking for the sequel to Sonic Adventure that deserves to be the sequel to Sonic Adventure. Secret Rings will not be that game.
I have no hype for Sonic and the Secret Rings. Why? Because it's completely on-rails. It's gameplay better suited for the Saturn era.
Its Steve Urkel. Its Jaleel White. Consider yourself spellcheck'd, friend.
Hmm...that bit with the bigger robot baddies...kinda does come across like that, doesn't it? The point I was trying to make was that I wanted robotic...
Personally, I'd rank the 3D series overall as SA>SA2>SH>Shadow>2006.
I want to see Eggman become a more evil villain. When he arose in #76, he was the cream of the bad guy crop. But since then, he's devolved into his ...
