No, this issue is not about the Nintendo 64.
NeXtBoxes, Holiday Games, and Battlefield vs. Call of Duty. This week's PB & Jason has it all, so click through for the podcast and the details.
Chili Dogs. Dr. Robotnik. Spin Dash. Death Egg. All things forgotten in the history of Sonic, and all things that make their return in Sonic Generations.
Sonic Generations begins, aptly enough, with classic Sonic playing through a new stage based on the original first Sonic stage: Green Hill Zone. Sure enough, there are all sorts of enemies like Motobugs (lady bugs on wheels) and Choppers (piranha bots that bite at Sonic while he crosses a bridge.) Sonic runs through a two-dimensional plane through the entirety of the stage, and with just the press of a button (or the traditional down + the jump button) he can charge up a spin-dash and take off.
Reviews. Reviews reviews reviews.
This week's PB & Jason is almost all about reviews! Expect to hear an expansion of my Dungeon Defenders review. Also, keep an ear open for a pre-review on Sonic Generations. Want more? How about a rantsplanation about why reviews are important and for whom I believe reviews are created?
Join us for a special dual audio and written review on Nintendo's timeless classic!
Given the classic status of Star Fox 64, we only felt it was fitting to create a unique review for the updated revision of the game, Star Fox 64 3D. To get started, first click through and listen to our audio review/discussion on the game between Nick and Jason R. This is followed by a written opinion by Matt McLennan, rounding out a full body of opinions.
Come celebrate Sonic's anniversary by sharing your memories of the series alongside the PixlBit staff!
Earlier this year, on June 23, Sonic turned 20 years old. As a celebration of his legacy, Sega is releasing Sonic Generations today on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, with the 3DS version to follow later this month. The game celebrates the history of the franchise by joining old and new into one singular game that promises to mesh and meld all of what makes Sonic great. PixlBit's staff, growing up during the era of the blue blur, have fond memories of Sonic and his games and have come together to share their memories of the mascot.

The menus. The complications. The convoluted menus. The mind-blowing tutorial. Oh, and there's a very good tower defense game in here, too.
Dungeon Defenders is really a simple, enjoyable game. It's tower defense. Enemies spawn at a few points, walk a set path, and attack a crystal at the end of the path. The heroes in the game summon towers and fight back the orcs, goblins, and trolls, defending the crystals from destruction. It's a standard idea with up to four simultaneous players all working together to defend the crystals from all attacks.
This week's PB & Jason features Kirby. Kirby Kirby Kirby.
Oh, and there's also some Dungeon Defenders talk inside as well.
After eleven years without a new main-series console game, Kirby is finally back.
Open up a toy chest, and inside you'll find a G.I. Joe, a water gun, a yo-yo. You'll see Ninja Turtles. Perhaps at the bottom there's a baseball. No matter how you look at it, there are dozens of toys and dozens of ways to play games. And so it is with Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Join Jason and Chris as they romp through a magical adventure with Kirby & Co. at about 7:30 pm EDT tonight!
The Kirby's Return to Dream Land PlayBit is now over! In part one, join Jason as he plays as Bandanna Dee and Yellow Kirby to help Chris, the staff member controlling Kirby complete the first two worlds of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. But wait, there's more!
