Right now I'm playing Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition for the PS2... HARD AS HELL, I'm only playing on the medium-hard difficulty and the CPU is fucking insane, game is really fucking tough.

Righty-o, lookie what we have here:

The villains do look they're out of Pokemon, hopefully this doesn't mean the end of Eggman, but that's to be seen.
It seems they're going for another new gameplay style, one which seems to be a merging of Unleashed and Adventure with a hint of Xtreme.
It's interesting to see Sonic actually be one of the pros of buying a Nintendo console.

Props for the designs of the new guys. They don't look like typical Sonic characters.

Then again, something like that big cat thing wasn't exactly 'Sonic' to me either back in the day.
I'm sad to say that even though this looks kinda cool, it makes me nauseous already. I wouldn't be able to handle a full game of that camera-turning spinneroo-a-ma-jiggy.

One thing that annoys me though is the effect that Sonic makes when he does that wall running. Like... he farts out clones of himself and it just looks... eeeghhh.

It reminded me of Rainbow Mario from Galaxy:

I instantly thought of the same thing when I saw it.

I like the look of this one. It looks much more reminiscent of the original Sonic graphical style than the recent games have been. It kind of reminds me of Super Monkeyball.

The artstyle is something to get used to, since in Generations it was established that the new Sonic was all about cities and stuff....Now it's back to forests and cuddly creatures. The presentation is weird... have you seen that grass with detail? those are... literally, green paper squares attached to the ground. The game is certainly meant to look cartoonish. It's not bad, actually it looks pretty on its own, but once you see the beautiful adaptation of Green Hill Zone in Sonic Generations, you expect something like that in the next game.

Pretty much like Zelda Wind Waker, the artstyle is controversial just because its different, but the game is probably going to be good. I started trusting SEGA again since Colors.

This looks like a pretty alright game. The villains look just like I expected them to be. Bit generic, but I can live with it. Definitely hope to see more of this cause Sonic finally seems to be getting the game the franchise deserves, because I personally consider every 3D game before Generations mediocre.

Colours is OK. I wasn't too entertained by the 2D gameplay so there was little value left in it for me. It is a decent game.

That's quite an interesting way of looking at it. I'm just hoping the game will be well worth it, from what we saw in the trailer, it actually looks good. I'm glad they ditched the whole boost gameplay from generations and did something a bit fresh and new, I loved the boost gameplay but I wouldn't want to see it a 3rd time.

Unfortunately, the copy of All 4 One I played was owned by my younger sibling, who then traded it in.

Have not played All 4 One, doesn't look so interesting to me though, I'm wondering if Full Frontal Assault is worth it, now that it's on the Vita store

BattleBlock Theater. Gotta love the humor and music of this game. Also finally got to play Jet Set Radio too.

Why isn't that game available on Steam and PSN? I've been dying to play BattleBlock theater, and the soundtrack is hilarious for it.

I think it was meant to be X360 exclusive, unfortunately. Well, at least something for that console too.
