I just thought I would quickly voice my disappointment on Sonic's latest gaming outing on all major consoles.
You all have no doubt heard of Sonic The Hedgehog and his latest game sonic unleashed. The game had a great amount of potential and for once the outlook of Sonic's future looked bright. It seemed Sega finally decided to get off their butts and create a game that the gaming community wanted.
BUT...
Once again Sega found a way to screw up like usual. They decided to come up with yet ANOTHER gimmick for their sonic games. A gimmick that takes out the whole pace of the game and renders it into a slow, useless and most of all unenjoyable beat-em-up. The worst thing about this that even though the game is divided evenly in day and night sections guess which sections go longer? That's right the night ones. That just PROVES how slow and god damn boring these parts to the game are.
It just frustrates me so much and I know I am not alone in thinking this that Sega just does not learn from their mistakes. Every time Sega messes with a simple formula it hasn't ever once worked for them. So why keep insisting on adding a gimmick? The fans hate them, the community hates them and most of all reviewers hate them. SO DON'T BUT THE PIECES OF SHIT IN THE GAME!!
The game has one section that absolutely shines and that is its fast and intense day time levels. It is everything the whole game should have been. It works on a basic premise and that is what sonic is all about. Speed! Sonic flying through stages at a frenetic pace is the whole foundation of the series. Sure in unleashed even those stages have some problems (Mainly with the slow reaction time while trying to jump) but they can be overlooked because those sections are so much fun to play.
How can a company fuck up making such a simple game. All the gaming community wants is a sonic game that is fast, smooth and linear. THAT IS ALL!
FOR FUCKS SAKE SEGA HOW MANY FAILED GAMES DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL THAT NOBODY LIKES THE PIECES OF SHIT SONIC GAMES YOU KEEP PRODUCING!!!
I can't wait to play the next sonic game where Sega gives sonic the ability to turn into an electric drill so he can burrow screws into pieces of wood. Hey don't laugh Sega will probably think that is a great idea and add it into the next game.

Sonic Unleashed Disappointment
Mii Business Cards in Japan. WTF!
"Lucky" Nintendo Wii owners in Japan are now able to purchase personalised Mii Business cards via Japan's local Club Nintendo service. It requires the Japan exclusive Digicam Print Channel and 150 valuable Club Nintendo Points. You will then recieve 30 legitimate (yes they are physically real) cards through the mail.
Now this begs a very logical question: "WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT A FRIGGEN MII BUSINESS CARD IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Honestly what possible use could these business cards have to anyone? No sane person would have these printed out to actually use for their business.
Hit the jump to continue:
Imagine someone actually did use these legitimately and they handed a client one of these cards. The client would look at the person and say: "You sir are officially a Homosexual fagget."
I guess these cards are meant for five year olds or reclusive loners. Hey maybe I should get one then?
