Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 Q&A – Xbox 360 Previews at GameSpot
SEGA of America announced that GameSpot would be revealing Project Needlemouse at midnight tonight (12:00 AM 2/4), and they certainly did! It’s actual title is Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1, and it going to be downloadable on all three consoles. The versions will be near identical, but the Wii’s will be 480p while the other two will be 1080p. Also, certain parts will take advantage of the Wii motion controls and the PS3’s Sixaxis. I don’t really want any motion control, but I think I’ll go with PS3 just to have the nice d-pad. I’m really excited about this! Sonic 4 will be out this summer.

Quickloading Degrades Game World

Sometimes I Finish Games Too: ???
“It might be kind of interesting to play a game where quickloading was allowed to undo decisions you’ve made, but it starts gradually making the gameworld more and more unstable, and your avatar slowly starts to remember the actions he’s undone and has a hard time reconciling them with the current reality until he just goes completely insane and the player slowly loses control of the protagonist, as the protagonist rejects the player’s intrusion on his life. It might not go over well with players though.”
Such a cool idea. I thought it’d be cool to play a game in which you live the same day over and over, but things you do repeatedly begin to make a lasting change. In the game, you’d be solving a murder. I have no idea why I thought that was a great topic.

Backloggery


The Backloggery – TheUser’s Backloggery

The Backloggery is an interesting site for gamers who are obsessive like I am. You use it to track your backlog! In other words, it catalogs your game collection and tracks which games you still need to finish. It also groups compilations together (grouping SMB 1, 2, 3, and Lost Levels as four different games all under Super Mario All-Stars, for example), which is quite handy, and records the original platform of each game. I just finished entering all 643 of my games into the system!

Order of the Rose

Order of the Rose
This guild sounds amazing. Order of the Rose is on the Feathermoon (RP) realm. Order of the Rose focuses on role-playing. They hold a lot of different events, including the annual Rose Ball. It sounds really interesting! Feathermoon has a lot of other cool role-playing activities too it seems. I didn’t do a lot of research or anything on this, so I’m not implying the this guild is the best at RPing or that the realm has the most RP activities. It just seemed really interesting!
