Some reviews are hard to muster, some take you some time to think about what you are watching/playing and what the positives and negatives are in the media you are reviewing. When reviewing a game like Pokemon Soul Silver, this really isn't a problem considering the history I have with the franchise. I played Pokemon Red/Blue when I was a kid and afterward went on to Gold/Silver, then to Ruby/Sapphire, then to…
So here's some history, Sonic the Hedgehog debuts on the Sega Genesis in 1991, the year I was born. After this they had Sonic 2, 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. But after this change happened. The Nintendo 64 was out, the Playstation is out and the Sega Dreamcast eventually comes out with Sonic Adventure. This is the long-awaited successor to the Genesis' Sonic & Knuckles and about time too, but to no surprise the game is a…
For the first time easily in over seven years, I sat down today and completed Mega Man 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. I had not played this game for a long time, since my NES days of sitting around the house when I was a kid, and playing Mega Man, with not a care in the world. Mega Man 2 was the sequel to the original Mega Man, also for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Mega Man was known for having some…
Back in the day, some kids didn't have as much money as the others, some kids were me. The others kids were all excited for there Super Nintendo Entertainment Systems and I? well, I was still watching Takooni Mario on good old Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES. But oh wait, look what my Father gets me, Kirby's Adventure. Now as a kid you have just no clue what your getting, and my Father didn't know enough about…
How many times does this happen...Ill answer that, not many at all. Mega Man 9 harks back to what i myself grew up with, the 8-Bit Era. This includes the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System. These two consoles are my favorite consoles of all time. When i was a kid, i didn't have much to concentrate on in life, I didn't play Music, I didn't make Movies or anything, heck, i didn't review like i do…
Over a decade... It has been over a decade since Super Mario has gone on a 2D Side Scrolling Adventure. Now just take that in, how ridiculous is that? the idea that Super Mario hasn't been on something he's the KING at for that long. Well people, that's all about to change because Mario's going on his first 2D Side Scrolling Adventure since Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins in 1992. Yeah, you heard me, and i am not…
Words cannot describe just how excited i was for the new Nintendo Wii Christmas of 2007. But did i get it? No. In fact, not until February of 2007 did i actually receive the Christmas gift i had waited for. Was i frustrated? Sure, but it also got me that much more excited, and when i got it, oh-ho, just a brilliant day. All my friends were round my house, and we set up the Nintendo Wii in my Bedroom. Now obviously i…
The Mario Kart franchise is something that i have a lot of experience in, and i am sure many other Gamers have. It symbolizes for a lot of us, a part of our childhood, sitting in front of are television screens with are brother, sister, friends or what have you, and playing what seemed like a goldmine at the time, Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. Maybe if your a little younger your more familiar with the…
This was the big one. Sonic the Hedgehog two was a LARGE part of my childhood. I remember when we first got a Genesis, and me and me brother would play it constantly, and then later on...we would still play it constantly with Super Sonic. This game has so much variety...such *click* to it you know? This game had such a hype for this game when it was released, because as you will already know, the first Sonic the…
There seem to be two completely different roads in the Sonic Universe. The 3D Realm of Sonic games, and the Handheld Sonic games, starting with Sonic Advanced, and succeeding into Sonic Rush. Why the 3D Realm decides to play in one genre on one of the games, it slowely decides to cut off that idea in search for something better. The 2D Sonic Realm decides to pick up where the Genesis games left off after the…
Surrendering to what seemed like a year's worth of Mediocrity after Super Mario Galaxy, now im going back to my roots, one of the consoles that seemed to define Video Games for me, and also spured one of the most iconic Video Game Characters ever, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog, according to my Mother and Father, was the first Video Game i ever played, BUT, this version WAS NOT the first game i ever played.…
Finally, the time has come, i actually have the time to review the game i had been planning to review since November 12th, and this is officially the first game i have had to write down notes for (In my other reviews, it was literally all free-styling). I remember distinctly on November 16th, the date it came out in England, and my anticipation was way higher than any of my friends, you have to remember that the…
