I really don't think that story should be criteria for grading a game. I don't expect there to be an epic in place every time I pull out my Risk or Sorry! games, nor do I expect it in my platformer titles.

A bad game with a good story just makes for an annoying interactive film.

Story is important, but in this case I don't think it really matters.... but I'd still expect them to try as hard as they could.
But if they tried their hardest in the past, there's no reason to expect much from them.

Mario Galaxy was great, and it's not like it had an interesting storyline, they put a lid on the character's mouths and had fun gameplay elements.

8-8.5? Dude, that's amazing for Sonic!

And for story, we already knew it wasn't going to be Pulitzer prize material. I mean, geez, look at Colors. What was fun about the story was its dialogue, not its concept.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

I just saw a commercial for the game on TV during Adult Swim.
Was ok.

As if you needed another copy...

"Generations will include the original Sonic the Hedgehog as an unlockable game"

http://kotaku.com/5852549/original-sonic-the-hedgehog-unlockable-in-sonic-generations
Pfffft. Gee, PC (Steam) even wins this round, offering Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic 3 & Knuckles as pre-order bonuses. Annoyingly though, I don't have the money yet. Hopefully I can get on top of that before it's release... (I'll assume Sonic 1 won't be in the PC version then. Though, I could be wrong.)
Good Game
 

Hex: Yes, you've read the book, you've seen the film - now avoid the game like the plague lest your memory of Harry Potter's epic conclusion be tainted by what can only be described as a short, half-arsed cover-shooter that's boring beyond belief.

Bajo: ...It's shit.

I want the swag more than I want the game. I can easily get the game later.

I used Chrome to translate Amazon Germany to get my CE. The photos were identical to the english ones and the game IS PAL so hopefully everything important isn't in German.

A risk I'm willing to take.

Amazon France still has some copies, but does deliver videogames to the US.(though they do for alot of noneurope countries, so check their shipping info.)

Apparently a few Best Buy stores in the US (around Texas and shit) have broken the street date and started giving out copies early. It's on TSSZ, I heard, but I'm trying to avoid any and all spoilers like the plague.

Damn... I'd hunt around here for a Best Buy that had it... but I already pre-ordered it online elsewhere for a sweet price.

IGN Reviews the PS3 version...[DO NOT WATCH VIDEO IF YOU ARE WANTING TO STAY SPOILER FREE!!]

Final score: a whopping 8.5.

Hell just froze over man...

EDIT: Ooh! Ripped soundtrack for Generations! [Megaupload]

EDIT2: DUUUUUUUUDE!! Talk about nostalgia in the soundtracks! There are some tracks in there you may be very surprised to hear, as they came from games not represented level-wise. AWESOME!!
