About this blog

I'll mostly just be talking about anything that interests me. And when I say that, I mean what's going on in the gaming, comic, and TV/Movie community. Mostly video games, though :3

Wisp Use in Sonic Lost World

Remember the colorful wisps from Sonic Colors (Or Colours in Canada and Europe?) If not, let me remind you. The wisps were items Sonic could grab to help his advance in the stage. These include the rocket, lazer, and drill wisps. They were the main gimmick of the game and they were pretty fun to use. Lost World brought them back, along with some new ones. However, the wisp use in Colors is infinitely better than in this. The wisps are either unresponsive, a pain in the butt to aim or steer, jus

Why Silver the Hedgehog Needs to be in More Games.

Let's talk about Silver the Hedgehog. Silver is a white psychokinetic hedgehog from the distant future. He can pick up things and fly in the air by simply just thinking about it. Just Silver's concept alone makes him sound like an awesome character. Granted, I don't like the game he originally came from, but that shouldn't mean he doesn't make an appearance in more Sonic games (And don't bring up multiplayer. That doesn't count.) He does have a few flaws, though. In 06, Silver's gameplay was su

Why Platforming Gaming Should be Focused on More During the Next Generation

Before going into this, I will state right off the bat that I know that some people won't agree with me. I'm just going by what I think. Platformers are my favorite video game genre, and I just feel they should be focused on a lot more during this next generation of consoles. Now, I'm gonna be really frank; I don't the like the truckload of FPS's and shooting games of the such that we get nowadays. I understand that they're the big money-makers these days, but I honestly think that there is an

Why Comics Tell Better Stories than Video Games or TV Shows

Two of my most favorite video game franchises ever are Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man. I love the games, the TV shows (Well, some of them at least) and I collect the action figures. I love a lot of video game franchises, but I honestly think you can't go wrong with these two. However, there's also the comic books based off of these two franchises. Both are made by Archie Comics and both share pretty much the same art style. I may love the games, but honestly, I don't think they even compare to

Why Batman Arkham Origins wiil be the Best Batman Game Ever

If there're two games I want for Christmas more than any other games on the market, they'd be Sonic Lost World and Batman Arkham Origins. I think it's a safe bet that you guys already know about Arkham Origins. But, in case you haven't, Origins is meant to be a prequel to the games. It takes place in Bruce Wayne's early years as the caped crusader. The main villain in this story is Black Mask. Not a lot of people know about this guy, and that's understandable. He didn't really appear much in the

What I noticed about the early 3D Sonic Games...

You know what I've noticed about the first five 3D Sonic games on consoles? It's that they seemed to have decreased in quality until Sonic Unleashed rolled around. Allow me to explain the quality change of Sonic Adventure - Sonic 06. I don't count Sonic Riders in the list. When Sonic Adventure burst onto the scene on the SEGA Dreamcast, most owners of the system set their sights on getting the game. When they got it, most people rather enjoyed the game, mostly for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles' ga

Watch Dogs: Oh, the Irony

I'm sure some of you know about the upcoming Ubisoft game, Watch Dogs. The game let's you use hacking as a weapon to progress through the game. It's pretty much the main concept. Ironically, before this game's release date, something happened to the Ubisoft website. In June or July of this year, one of Ubisoft's websites were considered hacked. This led to all users of the site to be sent emails saying that their log-in info had to be changed. They also closed off any and all access to the site

Video Games: Then and Now

Today, I was having a conversation with my good friend, Shyflutters. We were talking about video games and he asked me about what console I was getting. I said the Wii U and I named off a couple of games I wanted for the system. One of them was Splinter Cell: Blacklist. He stopped me right there and he said that the game was a shame to the series. The Splinter Cell series is centered around stealth-based gameplay, where in this game, he said that if you're caught, you can pretty much just gun yo

Tragedy Struck Where I Live...

Me and my best friend, Super2379, live in the same area code. Yesterday, over a dozen twisters swept through, demolishing everything in their paths. One thing it demolished was Super's two cousins. When me and him met up today, he was awestruck. When he told me what happened, I felt the same way. Right now, I'm hoping for my aunt to be alive. She lived close to where the twisters struck and I hope she's okay. Though, I can't really say the same for Super's cousins. Please, show your support to

Torn Between Systems

We all know what's coming out before the holiday season; The Xbox One and the Playstation 4. I've already concluded that I'm not getting the Xbone, but I'm torn between the Wii U and the Playstation 4. There are so many games I want for the Wii U, such as Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, and Pikmin 3. Though, I know that there are plenty of games that're going to come, such as inFAMOUS Second Son, The Order: 1884, and others. Jeez, so much to choose from...

Things are changing on my end

Perhaps some of you have noticed my lack of entries on this blog. Believe me, guys. It's not that I forget to post. I honestly just can't find anything in the gaming community at the moment for me to talk about. The only thing that would be worth talking about right now is Mine Con. But I honestly don't care much about Minecraft to begin with. For now on, my entries are not going to come in at a consistent rate. They'll come in whenever something comes up that I want to talk about. Don't worry,

The Year of Luigi

I guess Nintendo made 2013 the official year of Luigi. In all honesty, I'm cool with that. I like Luigi better than Mario... slightly. I mean, Luigi tops Mario in every which way. He can jump higher, he's taller, and he's never been captured in his entire lifespan as a character (with the exception of Yoshi's Island) So, yeah. Super Luigi for life!

The Wii U Deserves Better Respect

I already know what next-gen system I'm getting; the Wii U. Games like New Super Mario Bros. U, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and Sonic Lost World have all contributed into making that decision. But, the Wii U right now is getting really underscored by the gaming industry as a whole. At my local Walmart, the Wii U has it's own shelf. Inside the shelf, the light is turned off inside and the glass separating you from the games is totally stained. On top of that, normal Wii games take up half of the spa

The Werehog Stages in Sonic Unleashed

I'm sure plenty of Sonic fans like me have played Sonic Unleashed at one point. The game is said to be the beginning of the heal from Sonic 06, and it shows. I loved Sonic's daytime stages, and I enjoyed the werehog stages... to an extent. In the first half of the game, they seemed pretty awesome to me. I liked this new approach they were taking with Sonic. Yeah, the werewolf thing is a bit of a cliche, but it's still interesting to have Sonic play like this. But, by the time I got to the seco

The Sims 4: EA Strikes Again...

Let me just start off by saying that I enjoy playing the Sims every now and again. But, it's not like a game series I'd enjoy playing everyday. I'll take Sonic over Sims any day. But, I recently heard that the company that makes the Sims, Electronic Arts, is planning to release The Sims 4 in the near future. Now, in my opinion, I don't see the purpose. I mean, granted, The Sims is one of the top selling games of all time. That's probably because of the ten thousand expansion packs (I use the ter

The Ouya

I've been seeing this thing all over the internet as of late. Whenever I watch something on YouTube, most of the time, I'm going to get an advertisement of the Ouya. So, with all of this blatant advertising in my face, I figured I'd give my view on this thing. Let me just start by saying that this microscopic cube of a system has the most confusing name imaginable. I'm not sure how you'd say "Ouya" without twisting your tongue the first couple times. But, regardless, that is irrelevant to what

The Mighty No.9 Project

I guess I'm a little late on finding out about this thing. About a couple of months ago, Capcom announced one of their newest projects; Mighty No.9. This thing, I assume, is meant to help Mega Man fans find some shred of life in the Mega Man series. I mean, there hasn't been a real Mega Man game since Mega Man 9 and 10 on Xbox Live and such. I see some really big potential for this project, actually. I think it's about time for Capcom's Blue Bomber to make some form of return.

The Holidays Are Coming!

You know what that means? It means that the video game industry is going to be showing off their newest titles! It's one of my favorite parts of the holiday season, actually. That and spending time with family. A few games I'm looking forward to playing are Sonic Lost World, WWE 2K14 (I follow the WWE games faithfully,) Pikmin 3, and so on. I'm still torn between a Wii U and PS4. I'm simply just thinking about getting the Wii U and getting all of the other games through Steam or something. Anyw

The Amazing Spiderman 2: Back to Basics?

The Amazing Spiderman left a mixed impression on the Spiderman fanbase; Some people liked it and some people didn't. I, myself, thought the movie was pretty good. I still liked the original three movies better, though. The Amazing Spiderman just seemed too early for the franchise to get a reboot. Anyways, there has been a lot of controversy going into Spidey's next film, The Amazing Spiderman 2. Marvel seems to be going back to square one.

Tails Doll in a Sonic Comic

And here I thought Archie didn't have the guts to put it in. Most of the Sonic fanbase knows about the Tails Doll, but for those that don't know, I'll quickly fill you in. Tails Doll was originally one of the unlockable characters in the Sonic racing game, Sonic R (The soundtrack for that game is AWESOME, by the way. Though, the game itself isn't all that spectacular) Anyways, the Tails Doll has become quite a phenomenon in the gaming community as a whole. He's pretty much been transformed into

Starting to Play Portal

I'm gonna be completely honest, guys; until this weekend... I've never played Portal. I know that sounds crazy coming from a guy that loves video games, but I've honestly just been avoiding it. That was until Steam struck again with it's deals. Both Portal and Portal 2 were going for 6.24 US dollars as a bundle. How could I refuse? So, I ended up buying it. Now, I'm going to look to see what all the fuss is about. That's nice, Wheatly.

Sonic the Hedgehog Live Action Fan Film: Surprisingly Good

No. I'm not kidding. Sonic the Hedgehog CAN look good in live action, and the link below proves it. This is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan film produced by Blue Core Studios. The film has Jaleel White voicing Sonic, though I'm pretty sure Sonic's voicing is just voice takes from White's Sonic voice from the 90's cartoons. It acts as any traditional Sonic the Hedgehog scenario; Robotnik want's to rule the world and Sonic has to stop him. However, Tails isn't by his side in this. In fact, no one is. It

Sonic Lost World: The Badniks

I'm super hyped for Sonic Lost World. I've mentioned it on several topics on the forums in the past weeks. However, let me briefly touch upon one thing that bothers me a little bit about this title; the badniks. In this game, we're going back to the original formula for Eggman's robots; He captures little woodland creatures and stuffs them inside robots that he calls "badniks." These include the Motobug and the Buzz Bomber. As Sonic runs through whatever stage he's in, he can jump or homing att

Sonic Lost World: Highly Questionable Changes (After Playing the Demo)

On the same day I got Arkham Origins, I also played the demo to Sonic Lost World. I've mentioned before that I've been looking forward to this game. But, after finally playing it for the first time, I've discovered that SEGA has made some highly questionable changes that, let's just say, I'm not a fan of. First of all, Sonic's speed has been terribly butchered. You have to hold down the right trigger in order for Sonic to actually run fast. If you don't, Sonic will jog at a speed slower than th
