Check the teaser video and interview on Gamespot!

Just the lowdown on it:

HD 3D graphics, side-scrolling gameplay like the originals (though they added the Homing Attack), episodic games (each episode as long as one of the Genesis titles), downloadable, music similar to the Genesis titles, Sonic is the only playable character.  It’s gonna be on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Wii will have lower definition graphics, outputting only at 480p instead of 1080p on PS3 and 360. PS3 and Wii will have a few segments with motion control.

Well… I’m officially excited for this, can’t wait to try it out.

The first Matt Hazard game bombed. Big time. The story of the fictional former video game icon doing a return seemingly didn’t appeal to anyone. Or maybe it was the mediocre and very buggy gameplay. Who knows?</sarcasm>

On my side, I appreciated the humor, but the game didn’t really feel right. Following the first Matt Hazard comes a new game in the series, this one going for what the first game SHOULD have been: a Contra/Metal Slug-like action platformer.

So did Matt Hazard finally find his genre of choice, or should he just give up?

Well, now that we’re done with our Games of the Year awards, it’s time to look into what great games are coming out next year.

Just a few notes here:
1. This is using knowledge we have as of the writing of this post (December 27th 2009). We obviously can’t see in the future, so we can’t predict delays, or unnanounced releases.
2. We will not update this list as the year goes by, unless there’s lots of demand for it.
3.  This only includes “interesting” games, so no shovelware and such.
4. We also include games that might not come out in 2010, but that there might be a remote chance of them coming…
5. If we’re missing something don’t hesitate to tell us.

So let’s do this! Read on and see what interesting games are coming out in 2010!

So let’s go and look at all of the posts! Read on and check all the links!

This game started out as a rumored Zelda game for some reason (because of the triforce symbol on the clock thing). It got a bit of hype because of that. What really interested me was the graphics, ad then I heard about the completely random concept. After playing the demos, I was sold.

What is it that made me fall in love with it? Read on and see!

This screenshot says everything. It’s about weird looking “cute” creatures barfing rainbows in each others’ mouths. The concept is quite weird, but the gameplay is classic puzzle gameplay in the veins of tetris 2 on the SNES.

Read my review and see if it’s worth buying on PSN.
