Remember these? The best catch-phrases in video game history
How many of these classics and clunkers are you familiar with? It’s So Reeeeeeal! Thank you, Sammy Sosa, for one of the best lines ever: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBazo5uciVc[/youtube] At the launch of N64, Nintendo dared us to “Change the System!” and abandon the load-time heavy Playstation. This came after a campaign urging players to stick with SNES because, R...
So… Sega… Why isn’t Sonic 4 Like This?

Review: Tournament of Legends
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z40wtJC14To[/youtube] Since fighting games usually lack the depth a good adventure game like Zelda has, it’s the amount of immersion that lets you have fun.

Multi-part answer: No, and *probably* not, depending on who’s writing the article. Als...

Sonic 4 confirmed, 2D game arrives this summer on WiiWare, PSN, Xbox Live Arcade
Sega must read Infendo. That’s all there is to it. A 2D Sonic, downloadable via WiiWare, Xbox Live and PSN, will arrive this summer. Called Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, it looks to be an episodic take on the classic, if not slightly forgotten and abused character.

Youtube Tuesday – Project Needlemouse needs the entire game soundtrack to sound exactly like this…
Now if only the game would be released on the system a majority of the Sega fans migrated too; things would be great all around.
Deep blue thoughts
If developers today really cared about the consumer—nay, the gamer—there’d be a 2D NEW Sonic the Hedgehog title on the Wii, complete with mass marketing and viral advertising, akin to what Nintendo did with NEW Super Mario Bros Wii.
