Just looking at this game’s cover, you know right away that this game sucks. If you don’t, you’re clearly new to Sonic.

Well, this is the second part of the “Sonic StoryBook Series” (lamest idea ever). The first was “Sonic and the Secret Rings’. Secret Rings wasn’t exactly a good game, but it wasn’t THAT bad either. After playing a while, you upgraded Sonic and you finally got some speed and the gameplay was… okay. It took quite a bit of upgrading before the game was playable enough, so it’s understandable that people quit fast. But, in the end, it wasn’t a bad game.

Now take everything that was bearable in Secret Rings and remove it all and add a sword. This gives you Sonic and the Black Knight.

Now, this isn’t a review. Well, not exactly. I didn’t finish it, only got halfway throug(fighting Arthur), and won’t ever touch this again. So this is more of a first impressions thing… Kinda.

Damn, how long did I wait for this movie? It was around my second year of college, so at least 3 years ago, probably close to 4 years by now. Needless to say, I was constantly doubting this movie would actually come out beyond random screenings at places far from here. But at total random I check out the video store’s release list and lo and behold, I see My Name Is Bruce. So it’s actually coming out? Really?

As excited as I was, I had to wait a bit to watch it, because I wanted to see it with friends. But finally, no more than 20 minutes ago, I watched it.

Was it worth the wait? Read on! (don’t worry, really short review, with a few screenshots at the end)

When you think badass action games featuring ninjas, you normally think of Ninja Gaiden. Smooth stylish gameplay, lots of patience and skill require to do most tasks… You know, great gameplay and challenge. Ninja Gaiden was the action game mostly done right, only surpassed slightly by the Devil May Cry series (disregarding part 2)
To cash in on the idea, From Software brings you Ninja Blade. But all it is is basically a “what if” scenario, where instead of being good, Ninja Gaiden sucked ass. That is Ninja Blade in a nutshell.

Read on and see the suckyness!

Whoa, how did I forget to review this?
Well, being a fightng game fan, it was hard to ignore the latest rendition of Capcom’s Street Fighter 2. Having a solid fighting engine already, a big following, people were hyped for this, and for good reason.

Well, I’m a Street Fighter fan, but I’m in no way a pro. I don’t play at pixel and frame perfect levels,  but I still really enjoy playing SF2.

Now Capcom brings us a visually updated and rebalanced version of Super Street Fighter 2, so let’s check it out.
