Sonic 4: Episode 1 is the best console Sonic game since the Dreamcast.
It’s a true statement, but instead of being an accomplishment, it only serves to remind us how awful console Sonic games have been these past couple console cycles.

Are reviewers prone to inflating scores simply because the games are new?

Mass Effect 2 actually makes the original a better game. How many other franchises can boast that?

Gamers say they want their games to be perfect and developers try to make their games perfect, but is perfection something we truly want?

Love reading what people write in the margins of books? One Bitmobber asks why games can't take the concept and run with it.

People discover new music in all sorts of different ways. Here are some bands and tracks I've discovered while playing games.

It's been five years since I bought a Nintendo handheld. Is WarioWare D.I.Y. the game to finally get me to upgrade?

I have a notebook full of undeveloped ideas for Bitmob articles. Chances are, so do you. Instead of leaving them to die in your own notebooks, wouldn't it be better to let someone else take a crack at them?

Which developers would you choose to make a game for you?

Get to know that guy with the weird last name! Protip: it's pronounced "Ken-a-key."

I know in my write up about it, I didn't seem like I enjoyed Sonic 4, but there are definitely times when I was having fun.
You're certainly onto something there. If Sega had just put out another bad Sonic game, it would have been no big deal, but there's something in Sonic 4, something good, and to see them still miss the mark while giving us what we want is disappointing.
We can see the potential and it makes it hard to just write them off completely like we'd like to.

@Shoe Ah, so that explains how you beat us on Sword Base! Haha, I guess that makes up for our "extra practice round" on Reflection!

Thank you for the bump sir. I appreciate it.

Looks like we get Shoe right off the bat. Nice. Very nice.

@Mike I actually played a bit of Sonic 1 today. I wasn't ever a big fan of the Marble Zone, but I do see your point. But in Sonic 4, Sonic accelerates so slowly that the methodical platforming sections are made artificially difficult.

I can understand that. I haven't seen Dimps' name anywhere on the start up screens, whereas Sonic Team is plastered all over the thing.

These are great. I don't know how I missed all of them beforehand. Catching up now.

This was awesome. It almost makes me want to re-buy Fallout 3 and give it another shot.
Then I remember I hate that game.
Regardless, well done. Really enjoyed the style you used here.

That's a shame, I would've definitely given it a shot on my iPod Touch.

Really well written and an interesting perspective. I've had a similar connection with my characters from Golden Sun for the GBA. It's gotten so bad, I've actually considered buying a second copy of Dragon Quest 9 (because they only allow one save slot per game and I'm not about to overwrite a 230 hour file,) and naming my characters Isaac, Garret, Ivan, and Mia. I know it's silly, but I've spent a lot of time with those characters and I'm not ready to be finished.
Awesome job. I love articles that dive deeper into gamer culture than just a review/preview.

Keep on dreaming the dream. Nintendo appears dead set on keeping Mother from America. Seems like a no-brainer to me to officially bring the franchise to the states, especially with Ness and Lucas's appearances in the Smash Bros. series, but maybe the Big N knows something we don't.
