Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood

Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood review

Just as Mario stepped into the RPG world recently with Super Paper Mario , Sonic and friends have now done it on the DS with Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. The game’s made by BioWare, the same people that brought us Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. These were two massive RPGs but can they replicate the success on a much smaller platform with Sega’s cuddly characters? The game’s a mix of exploring and combat as you try to retrieve the stolen Chaos Emeralds from a group of robots from another dimension. The game is very pretty indeed...

Sonic and the Black Knight

Sonic and the Black Knight

Hooray…another new exclusive Sonic game for Wii is in development and it’s called Sonic and the Black Knight (not Sonic and the Black Night). It is going to be the second game in the storybook series that started with the exclusive Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii. We didn’t think that was a great game but it did show potential; this time around Sonic isn’t in the deserts of Arabia, now he’s in an enchanted Arthurian medieval world with lots of sword fighting to be had about the place. We’re not sure if it will match the Legend of...

Sonic and the Black Knight

Another new exclusive Sonic game for Wii is in the works, Sonic and the Black Knight is the second game in the storybook series that started with Sonic and the Secret Rings. Now that wasn’t very good, and let’s face it, neither has any sonic game in the last few years, but this one could be different. I’ve never imagined Sonic becoming a sword wielding Knight of the realm but hey, if Sega think they can pull it off I’m might interested in seeing the results. So far there is only a very vague Sonic and the Black night release...

Sonic Unleashed

I’m going to be a bit controversial and state my opinion that there hasn’t really been a decent Sonic game since the 1990’s. Could Sega’s latest outing finally bring us back the classic game play we all crave? Sonic Unleashed is a brand new title from the Sonic Team at Sega. It’s coming out for all the main consoles (360, PS3, Wii and PS2) but not the handhelds. Sega tell us that this has been a secret project in the works for three years, with a brand new “hedgehog engine” which can move from 3D to 2D camera action seamlessly....

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games review

So I’ve done a competition and a feature about Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games so now it’s time for the review. For the first time the fat plumber and the hedgehog have starred together in a game but what’s it like? Have their egos ruined it? Have they made sweet music together? Well, a bit of both. There’s some good and some indifferent aspects of this game which I’m about to explain to you now. Basically, this plays a lot like the sports games from back in the day such as Track and Field and Daley Thompson’s Decathlon,...
