Sorry for no post last week, but I was a little busy... I rag on modern gaming a lot, but it definitely has its positive aspects. One of the biggest is instant access to low cost or free games via subscription services like PlayStation Plus or Games with Gold. It’s almost to the point where I have too many games in my collection. Not all the free games are great, but some certainly stand out. Especially when those games are updated versions of classics like Sonic Mania. I don’t think Sonic the Hedgehog needs any introduction. He’s Sega’s mascot and anyone who was a kid in the 90s has at least some familiarity with the blue blur. His games from that era were classics and even his early 3D offerings were great playthroughs. But that was 30 years ago and unlike his turtle stomping rival, Sonic has had quite a few missteps. It’s not that every Mario game has been classic, but even at his worst, I don’t know if he ever sunk as low as Sonic ‘06. Or Sonic R.
Old school game reviews and discussion, from the unfamiliar and obscure to the classics you know and love.
