The X Button - The World Warriors

Ah Chrono Break, I haven't heard that name in years. It's a shame Square Enix was never able to license that game, if such game actually existed.

I haven't played a Sonic game I could really enjoy since Genesis. Sonic and Knuckles was a fun and enjoyable game, but Sonic with a sword seems to Legend of Zelda to me. What ever happened to Donkey Kong and Super Mario? Have they become forgotten over the last twenty plus years?

STREEEET FIGHTER IV! Is awesome. Though it was hilarious how he bitched about inconsequential stuff to make it seem more like a "review" than "glowing unadulterated praise", which is what the game deserves. Freaking fight pads, selling out in the first week...


Sonic needs to go away, for real. He's past his prime, and Sonic Team has lost their magic. He can't even reinvigorate the franchise in creative or interesting ways like Nintendo does with their mainstays. Sonic with a SWORD. That just screams "Please make the agony stop, PLEASE!".

In this age of downloadable content I'd be surprised if there WEREN'T any extra characters available for either marketplaces in SFIV!

Border break reminded me of how much money I wasted on
L.A. Machine Guns: Rage of the Machines... Now there's a sequel I'd be looking forward to!

It's the first MMORPG for Atlus in the West

No, I think he's right about that. SF IV is good for what it is, but doesn't do much to impress when they only introduce a few new characters. On top of this, the controls are extremely bad. I haven't had that uncomfortable of a feeling playing a fighter since Brawl and playing on the wii mote. Ok bad example, but you should get what I'm talking about. The 360 is probably the worst controller of them all. The d-pad is extremely delicate, and it's troublesome doing some of the ultra's just because of this fact, and the joy stick is not even worth mentioning. On top of this, the bumpers/triggers used as you high kick/punch and combination kick/punch make for some of the most awkward controls yet.

And I don't think he's given it enough blasting as it is; What about the fact that the story pretty much goes against anything that's happened in the past? Ryu's still struggling with the Dark Hadou (I thought SF III was him honing his own skills, over coming this in SF II?),

And last but not least, the SE was garbage. The figure was worse then your gasphoons, and the Audio CD doesn't even have the OP (which is maybe a good thing). Oh an I'm not sure about the PS3's bluray dvd... whyI didn't get it for ps3 I don't know... but the 360's dvd for the animated movie is only playable on the 360 console. Talk about a slap on the face.

Yes the construction of Microsoft's joypad is clearly the game's fault. I sure do hate when I boot up a game and it transform's my joypad...wait a second. Why not just buy a) an arcade stick, b) one of the fightpads, c) a saturn usb bootleg off ebay, etc. In general I also think the complaint of "Oh noes not enough new characters" is over-privileged fan whining. Considering how long its been since Capcom brought out a new SF game Im just happy to see a good new game and its clearly the best fiscal choice to go with a cast accessible to casual gamers. The shit sales of the SFIII series is proof enough of that.

I'd rather them try harder to make a real sonic game and not these pathetic off shoots.

Take Mario 64 or Sunshine as a starting point, let him punch, run, crawl, jump,ect give him a stamina gauge for speed and one for slow mo(so you can control said speed) and let him at it. They are trying far to hard to to get away from what sonic is.

Oh well, this crybaby generation was raised on fighting games that could be won by randomly smacking the buttons (I'm looking at you, NAMCO)...

People are hinting that Dee Jay and T. Hawk will be in the next DLC, because Ono did note that they actually had some work done on the characters for SF IV and had even mapped out the moves for one of the characters.

"Sonic is done, he's past it, he doesn't need more games, he needs help, specifically the kind of help that involves taking him behind the shed and tearfully putting both barrels through his confused oblivious little face, stuff him, mount him, re-purpose him as a litter picking device.

Seriously, can they stop with the Sonic games already? Just leave us to our Genesis memories. Yeah, sorry that the first thing I noticed was that Sonic has already come out with another game, but it's starting to annoy me really.

He came out and said if people want it, he'll try to bring. So if you want Adon, Eagle, Birdie, or even R. Mika and her flying butt of doom, they just got to ask. They might be add as a part of the rumored Street Fighter 4: Champion Edition, as long as they don't go beyond that.
