A lot of Kotaku members are professional journalists that get payed to do reviews as well, so I don't see why it's not possible for some of them to have bigger living spaces. It's also possible that they could have easily done it over at a friend's or something, but it's not really important because I don't think it was a big enough issue to affect the score by that much (which was what I was trying to say before).

In any case, I think it's safe to assume that Sonic Free Riders was a bit of a miss. I'm looking at Havoc's post in the Kinect thread now, and by comparing it to the other launch games, he says there's a clear difference in quality with regards to the responsiveness of the controls. My assumption is that this is because, as I said earlier, the fact that Free Riders is probably too complex a came in comparisson to a couple of first party developed launch titles.

If you're having trouble with the latter part of the fight, this might prove useful.

You can't hit Eggman's mech while it's surrounded in electricity. However, when it uses its rocket punch, the fist will get stuck in the ground for a while. Hit it three times, and it will his the mech, giving you a chance to hit it.

After you've damaged it enough, the targeting reticle after it flies offscreen will start going batshit. Jump before it crashes into the ground, then hit it once more.

Soundtracks are inbound for both Sonic Colours and Sonic Free Riders. I forget what the Colours one is called, but the Free Riders one has been coined as Break Free: Sonic Free Riders Original Soundtrack and will feature a cover of the main theme Free by Crush 40.



Ashram from SoaH will rip the soundtracks as usual. I'll post the links here once he posts them on SoaH, which won't be for another week at least.

Over Thanksgiving Break, I have procured both Sonic 4 and Sonic Adventure on Xbox Live Arcade.

I haven't played too much of Sonic 4 (beat half of it), and I am amazed at its difficulty curve. Once you reach the casino levels, the difficulty spikes (particularly in the end of Road of Cards, or whatever the card one is called). The physics are rather wonky, and sometimes the homing attack is a little unresponsive, but I still love to play it. Three Chaos Emeralds down too...

I'll beat it before making an actual review, but right now, I'd place it between 7.5 and 8.

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 = ???

Next up, Vivid Sound x Hybrid Colors: Sonic Colors Original Soundtrack. Three discs, so it's huge.

Hey, you know how we usually only get watered down, crappy soundtracks for games?

The entire soundtrack for Sonic Colours is available on the iTunes Store. Yes, the WHOLE thing. No need to import from Japan now. I swear, this is a massive milestone for us here in the western part of the world :3

Cooooool, maybe this'll be incentive for other developers to start releasing OSTs in the West? Speaking of which, I do have a question regarding this; how are copyright laws in relation to that? I mean if I have a hard drive loaded with VG music, will the FBI bust down my door, even though 90% of this stuff is only available in Japan?

Considering that some OSTs are available on iTunes in Japan already (mainly Final Fantasy OSTs) I'm surprised they haven't done this already.

But in relation to that copyright question, I have absolutely no clue.

Remember that 20th Anniversary thing? SEGA's making a big deal out of it on Sonic's FB page. Seems there's gonna be an all-new trailer released exclusively on the page come tomorrow US time.

Found this on Sonic Retro too: Domain names under the shared title of 'Sonic Generations' have been registered by SEGA.

So yea, something's going on.

Isn't that that rumored game that's going to be HD 2.5D remakes of classic Sonic levels?

I believe so. According to rumor, it might possibly even be some big Sonic crossover event, sorta like Turtles Forever was for TMNT. There's just plenty of rumors and speculation floating around the internet now, so it's best to wait and see what arises from it. I'm just really glad April Fool's is over, becuase it's not as hard sifting through the crap now.
