CRank: 5Score: 4700

A poorly converted game gets a 38/40 on Famitsu. A near perfect score. That's a lot for a bad port.

The differences on the PS3 version are minimal. Less contrast, slighty blurry, slightly less framerate(though when both version were shown seperately there was barely any difference). Hardly game breaking.

This is the biggest WTF of the year hands down.
I joked around with Disney wattering down Marvel but that's hardly true. Some of you make very good points.

However, while it's true that Marvel now being backed by Disney is almost the same as Warner Borthers owning DC Comics, mind you as a long time DC supporter(I enjoy Marvel's movies too), I also this isn't quite the same.

Warner owns DC Comics, but DC Comics can only push or two movies out for their character...

There's just one delicious irony in all this.
Sonic is considered dead, yet he continues to be the most successful franchise on Sega's roster. Valkyria Chronicles, Mad World, Empire: Total War and future releases such as The Conduit, Alpha Protocol and Bayonetta will likely never reach the numbers that Sonic Unleashed alone has achieved, or the Mario&Sonic which is still selling even after being released over 2 years ago.

Not hating on HipHopGamer, just pointing out the...

It's surprising that in such an early stage of the game, there is still so very little yet anti-war protestors have gotten their panties in a bunch. Over, well, nothing...

It's actually refreshing to see a US troops POV on the matter, because for long the media and it's narrative on the Iraq conflict was to paint US troops as barbaric.

I recall Fallujah, very well, because one of the major driving angles for slaughter was the alleged use of a smoke curtain dubbed Whi...

Well, it's pretty bad news. I mean the game's out in 10 days or so.
But I doubt it will hurt Resident Evil's overall numbers.

I mean, early leaks did no damage to Halo 3, GTA 4 and the two Gears of War's game sales.

The way I see it, the way some people treat Sonic these days feels like that one guy in your group of friends that once had a great girlfriend, but now he just can't stop pestering them about how he had it good back then and still hasn't moved on with his life, even though her dream ex has done this a long time ago.

Kinda feels that way.

If bad games would hurt Sonic in the long run,then that seems unlikely to happen at this point. Sonic's plunge into a hit-and-miss affair has been going on for more than 10 years.

Sonic Unleashed, a game that everybody despises(apparentely) sold 2 million units. Did I also mention that Mario&Sonic, an average casual game is still selling long after GOTY contenders like Call of Duty, Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4 left the charts.

As much as somebody online tries ...

An MP4/MP3/AVI/WMA player, with camera built-in, e-book and text reader, voice recorder, TV and radio tuner.
The early models don't have game functionalities...yet.

This trailer seems to differ from the previous.

More revealing.

It manages to capture the brown-ish feel of the Akira Toryama comic and cartoon.
Toryama wasn't exactly too happy with drawing complex landscapes, so most fights take place in somewhat simplified areas.
Like a dessert or mountains, which this movie captures easily.

But the Ki blasts push this movie into fantasy territory in a way that definately puts The Forbidden Kingdom to sham...

Considering Sonic the Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 and PS3 was one of the all time worst Sonic and one of the worst game that have ever existed, this doesn't come off exactly as a surprise.

The Sonic and the Secret Rings producer once did say that that game was clearly rushed, especially when only one available team had to work on both versions of the game.

However, if Sonic Unleashed is any indication, things have changed for the better. SU is not the masterpiece that ...

Dear Internet,

please stop wasting webspace with pointless articles declaring that Sonic is:

a)dead
b)broken
c)not the same as the early 90's games

There's is just too much focus on the problem and the solutions more often than not, are worse than the problem itself.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that Sonic games are not up to par with the classics, but in all honesty constant comparisons to the old games are always n...

If only Sega would just hire all the amazing experts of Sonic game design found everywhere in the video game community and gaming media, Sonic would be great again.

You see where that line of thought begins to fall apart.

The fans have also demanded sequels to Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, Outrun, Altered Beast, Toe Jam & Earl 3 and Nights.

All of those new versions have been commercial failures on Xbox, PS2 and GC.

The Dreamcast was a complete financial disaster, yet they want Sega to fall into yet another one of those pitfalls?

To be more precise, who exactly is demanding a Dreamcast 2 these days?

You still wonder why they ignore fanboy requests....

It's kinda odd that Sega made it very clear like since 2002 that they are no longer in the hardware bussiness.
Yet 6 years later, they are still pestered by this?

I've always thought that being a Brand Manager would be lots of fun, especially if you're into videogames.
But I don't think I'll go looking for employment at Sega, it's already too much.

I see the mentality here... Have Sega comment on rumors that both they(Kotaku) and Sega know that are untrue to begin with before a show starts, so that everybody's going to be excited abou8t something that's never going to actually be shown, thus leading to chronic dissapoinment.

The official Sonic Blognik has more on this new title.
Sounds promising.

King Arthur and the Legend of Camelot is certainly an unexplored scenario in the Sonic universe.

So Sonic is going to travel to Camelot, uh?

After reading some posts here's what I think:

Splinter Cell Conviction's case was different, the game at the time was considered too similar to Assassin's Creed and it essentially got sent back to the drawing board, even with the amount of trailers and promo art already freely;
On Alan Wake's case, we haven't seen OR heard anything in over 3 years.

If Microsoft in charge of the media blackout then I have to say they are doing a horrible job.
Another year ...

Show us a nice big trailer for Alpha Protocol, Sega.
And Mad World, we gotta have that too.
