No, I can't say I do. I didn't intend to offend anyone there, but my point was, if you haven't had a good game in a series you have an attachment to in a long time, it's easy to overlook flaws in a decent game.

It doesn't mean you can't judge a good game from a bad one, it just means that you might be apologetic at this point. Maybe that's not the case at Sonic Retro, but it is a reasonable assumption to make.

For the record, I have not played Sonic Colors since E3. I really enjoyed it there, so I am curious to try out the finished product, regardless of what Jason's review says. I too love the old Sonic games, so I desperately want Colors to be a great game and see Sonic returned to his former glory.

To the Anonymous posters: I can tell you that Jason is not just trolling this game. He is pretty well-versed in Sonic and has played most, if not all, of the games in the series.

He went into this really wanting to love the game, and even left E3 super excited about the possibilities of the title. Even after completing it, he refused to believe it turned out as poorly as it did and went back through certain parts again to see what so many critics loved about the game. For the reasons listed in his review, it just didn't click with him.

Honestly, for mega Sonic fans like those on Sonic Retro, I'm guessing they have been starved for a good Sonic game for so long, that something even serviceable looks like gold at this point.

And present at the show as well, though it took about 2 hours to get into the room where it was on display, and it wasn't playable (jerks).

Man, do I love Assassin's Creed, especially Assassin's Creed 2. I can't wait to see how this one is going to turn out since it's an extension of that storyline. The single player looked great at E3, multiplayer not so much, but I couldn't care less because the main quest is supposed to be about 20 hours long (according to the devs at E3).

I am ridiculously excited for this game. It definitely looks like Retro nailed the personality and style of DKC, which is really awesome. It also seems like there's some serious challenge in these later levels which is also really encouraging.

The review copy should be in this week, so I'll be sure to share my impressions as soon as possible.

Yeah, the original MK arcade, Ermac was a red render of Reptile, but since then he has become a full-fledged, real Mortal Kombat character, with a story and a set of unique moves.

He looks pretty badass here, I thought. Hopefully this is a real render.

Yeah, you definitely should. Hell, next time I see you I'll bring it.

I agree, Jason. I had this on my iPhone a while back and honestly, it wasn't anything special. Felt like a less interesting Boom Blox.

I redownloaded it on my Android phone last night (it's free) in order to check it out again and see if maybe I missed something all that time ago.

This is something I noticed, but I didn't particularly find it to be something that brought depth and variation, it was just a tool in your belt to assist you through the level.

I would say that it does blend in well because it wasn't immediately obvious. Also, most people tend to play games of this genre holding down the fire button without letting off, so I'm sure some people never noticed it.

Also, a quick comment down over here so everyone can see what avatar I'm sporting (psst, it's Razputin).
