It seems that High Voltage tightened up the graphics a little bit, literally and figuratively. There’s going to be two dozen weapons in this sequel, including a Vortex Blaster that collects enemies bullets and chunks them back in a big cluster....

This screencap, taken from the epicSonic Unleashedopening that Segatore away from the Internet, reveals that Dr. Robotnik isn’t the bad egg he’s cracked up to be. After all, he loves the Dreamcast, since he has the consolelying at his feetin this top-down shot. That counts for something.

Destructoid review: LIT

The moment I read thatWayForwardhad announced a puzzle game with horror elements, I was instantly intrigued.

However, as many of you already know, I am no fan of the Wii control scheme as I tend to feel most developers attempt to build their games to use the motion control of the Wiimote whether the game calls for it or not....
