Sega Bringing Two Dreamcast Gems to Xbox Live Arcade and PSN


The first week of October will see two classics make a return on both downloadable services. The first of them being Sega Bass Fishing. 


And the other is Space Channel 5: Part 2. A musical rhythm game with a cute pink haired space hottie. 


Oh and it has Space Micheal Jackson.

Radiant Silvergun Coming to Xbox Live Arcade


It will hit at least Japan on September 15th of this year. The price will be $15, and feature online play and HD graphics like most XBLA games. Even though this Sega Saturn shooter never made it out of the land of the rising sun, fans have a lot of praise for this Treasure game.

Sonic CD Confirmed for XBLA, PSN, iOS, and More


One of the best Sonic games ever will be coming out to XBLA, PSN, iOS, and some other devices. Can't wait to replay this gem of a game.

Sonic CD Headed To Xbox Live Arcade?


Apparently that Major Nelson dude from Microsoft confirmed it will be at PAX this year. Which is pretty sweet considering it's one of the best Sonic games of all time. It's a shame not too many people have played it since it was only re-released on Sonic Gems Collection for GameCube. Hope they add the option for Japanese music. 

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Won't Come Out Until 2012


Pretty lazy considering the first episode came out almost a year ago. I really wished they hadn't cut the game up into episodes. I thought the gaming community learned a few harsh lessons from Half-Life.

Things I Like: Pac-man Championship Edition


Pac-man has been rehashed so many times over the years it's a bit ridiculous. However this was one gimmick I actually liked. 


It's basically Pac-man but with upgraded graphics, cool graphical effects, new music, with different speed and game-play touches. 



It plays pretty well, I just wish companies would do this more often.

Things I Like: Hexic HD


It was a freebie from Microsoft, however unlike most free stuff this was pretty good. 





It was a nice little puzzle game. Not exactly the greatest in the world but I enjoyed my time with it.

Things I Like: Super Street Fighter II HD Turbo Remix


Such a great idea, Street Fighter II remastered in HD!


It's certainly that, the graphics looked sick!


Even though I think it's tad too hard in single player, it's still a great little game.

Things I Like: 1 vs 100 (Xbox Live Arcade)


The show was okay but I liked the free Xbox Live Arcade game. 


It let "everyone" play at the same time, and sorta did. 




However you will never be picked to be the player. Especially since they cut the game off forever.

Things I Like: UNO (Xbox Live Arcade)


It's basically what is sounds like. The infamous card game UNO in Xbox Live Arcade form. You can find other versions for PS3, Wii, iPod Touch, iPhone, DSi and practically every other system made in the past five years.



It plays well with very little bullshit, and the online play work nice. It's really cool that it's a very social game. Most of the people who play do bring a headset along.



I don't mean the guys who RAGE on Xbox Live either. You'll find your fair share of jerks on the game for sure, but this is one game where most players aren't rude.


For the lonely guys, plenty of women play UNO on 360 as well. 

Double Dragon II Remake Coming to XBLA


The old game Double Dragon II: The Revenge is coming to Xbox Live Arcade in a new remake called Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons. A new combo system is in the works, and new artwork as well. It will come out with the price tag of $15.

Things I Like: Pac-man (Original Arcade Game)


It's a classic, and even though it's not the greatest game in the world I really think this was the starting point where games got from experimental to "good". 


My favorite version is the Xbox Live Arcade one since I loved trying to get all the achievements.

Things I Hate: Aegis Wing


I played this back when I first got a 360. Why you ask? Because it was basically the only free game on Xbox Live Arcade. 


I don't like games like Gradius, so frankly my expectations weren't high. 


And I was right. It is a boring, and hard side-scrolling shooter.

Things I Like: Super Puzzle Fighter II HD Remix


I never had the chance to play the long-running series until the XBLA version. 


It's kinda like Puyo-Pop meets Tetris. But unlike Puyo-pop, this game is actually fun. 


My favorite thing is the multiplayer, which I can really only do offline now since nobody plays it online anymore. Fuckers.
