Review: Tails Adventure (3DS)

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, 11 December 2013 0 comments

Review by Clark A.

As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn't a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn't called "Tales' Adventure" like it should be - ed) is any indicator, though, that sameness may be a lynchpin upholding their general level of quality. Tails Adventure tosses many Sonic clichés and design choices to the wolves seemingly to be more alluring to fans of more methodical exploration.

Unconventional or not though, its take on the 2D platformer falls flat enough that fans of either gameplay style won’t find much left to appreciate.

Review: Sonic Labyrinth (3DS)

Posted by Unknown Sunday, 1 September 2013 0 comments

Calling Sonic Labyrinth one of the less beloved titles in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is something of an understatement. A frequent contender for worst game in the series during fan discussions, Sonic Labyrinth makes its debut on the 3DS to virtually zero applause. Yet in some perverse way, it actually managed to captivate me.

Friday 10s; Ten game franchises that need a rest

Everyone likes a top-10 list. They're a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so each week we pull together a "top 10" list. These are here for fun and laughs - we're not pretending that we're the authority of good games taste in the world and this is purely the author's preferences. Agree with him/ her or not, it's all good. We'd love to hear your own personal preferences in the comments below the list. But please do be civil. We're all friends here.

This week Digitally Downloaded journalist, Joseph, looks at a series of game franchises that are all superb, but possibly need to stop while they're ahead. It's a difficult challenge for game developers and publishers, to know when to stop, but too often we've seen wonderful game franchises that have fallen into mediocrity because the developers didn't know when to say enough is enough.

Be sure to let us know what you think of the list below in the comments, and of course if there are any franchises that you think should be added in there, let us know that as well!

Review: Sonic Blast (3DS)

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, 13 August 2013 0 comments

Sonic Blast was one of the more ambitious outings for the blue blur when it initially released on the Game Gear. Though a handful of other titles such as Donkey Kong Land previously attempted to bring pre-rendered visuals to underpowered portable handhelds, Blast did so with actual color at its disposal. Aspect and Sega deserve some credit for attempting to add a twist to the comparatively routine aesthetics of Sonic’s other outings on the handheld.

Review: Sonic Drift 2 (3DS)

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, 30 July 2013 0 comments

Think about all the things that make a great racing game; an intense sensation of speed, well-balanced racing lines and track design, and for party racers, a nice set of characters and unlockable weapons.

That's my list of requirements; you probably have your own. I think, however, we can all agree that one thing we most definately were not thinking about was "hey, a good racer should have turns that pop in so quickly that if you're not already turning, then you're going to go off the track."

Bam. Now you know why Sonic Drift 2 is one of the worst games I've ever played.
