Sonic Generations

1. Sonic Generations

First game I played as soon as I got into the show floor. The game looks really nice. Nothing too crazy. Green Hill zone is replicated in 3D and looks real nice. I first played as classic Sonic. He plays as expected just like Sonic 2. I don't know if it was the 3D or what but it was a little clunky. Landing where I wanted was a little hard due to the gravity and not being able to give Sonic enough momentum to go where I wanted to. Still solid overall, they got time to fix that stuff. New Sonic plays just like he does in Sonic Colors only they removed the power ups from Colors. That's a good thing because it keeps it simple. The thing is that it's still a game of staying on top of the level and you have to memorize or see whats up ahead because Sonic is FAST. Very promising overall.

Shinobi

2. Shinobi

So Shinobi is back. Plays much like the Genesis games but looks like the one on PS2. There are so many moves you have it's almost a pain to memorize. Cool game though. It's mostly about parring your enemies attacks and killing dudes. He is however a little slow and they didn't let me use the D-pad. The slide disk thing is very annoying to use for 2D games like that.

Crush3d

3. Crush3d

I know you are shocked to see another Sega game but I think this ones the last one. I never played the PSP game but now I kind of want to. Very hard to get used the all the rules of the game but once I was there I really enjoyed it.

PlayStation Vita

4. PlayStation Vita

Joysticks are awesome, it's super light and is only $250! Using both of them at the same time though was a little weird and maybe we were asking for the wrong thing here. I could get used to them though.

Wii U

5. Wii U

Another surprise that this one is actually very light as well. I liked the size of the Dreamcast controller so I might be the wrong person for saying anything about this thing. My worry was that with something so big all the buttons were going to be hard to reach. Not the case. I was able to pretend to be playing Halo just fine.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

6. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

It was just the multiplayer and it was just like the first one. Didn't see any changes. Thats fine of course. I think there were perks but I can't remember if the first one had them as well.

Rayman Origins

7. Rayman Origins

This one is a BLAST. The art was amazing and the gameplay was tight as well. It's 4 player and you can play as the Teensies. I was the king of course.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

8. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Now Nintendo. I never played the original Luigi's Mansion but I really liked this one so far. You use a vacuum to catch ghosts. Very simple game. LUIGI is awesome!

Super Mario 3D Land

9. Super Mario 3D Land

Where is the Bros? It plays very much like Super Mario 3 only in a 3D space. There are some SM 64 things here and there but I would say it borrows more from part 3 on the NES.

Resident Evil: Revelations

10. Resident Evil: Revelations

Plays much like Resident Evil 5 and fixes the inventory problem with using the D-pad to select weapons. Yes you could do this on RE5 but you had to assign the weapon to a specific place in the inventory. Here I picked up a shotgun and used it right away. For shooting it does into first person rather than over the shoulder 3rd person. Works fine I guess.
