Digimon All-Stars Rumble Review | BentoByte

I have a long history with Digimon — while I don’t pay attention to it as much as I used to, I was a big fan as a kid. I distinctly remember watching the first three series every Saturday morning along with a slew of other shows on Fox Kids which would later become Kids WB. I remember being super excited to see Digimon: The Movie, and when I did — oh, it didn’t disappoint.

A type of social game? I'll pass.

Another Sonic, another failure.

Abriael3869d ago

Can't be another Sonic, he doesn't have the rights to it.

Mind you, he programmed the good ones, not the failed ones.

LOL i don't know why after reading the article, I made my comment thinking of Sonic: The lost worlds.

Gamers want to play games....not talk about them while attempting to play.

I want to lose myself in the world of whatever game I'm playing and be so sucked in that I don't realize anything around me except the game.

I don't care what you do in your game, just let me play mind how I want.

I love it!!!!Sonic CD RULES THEM ALL!DEAD RISING,KILLZONE,TITANFALL,BELO W,FORZA Nothing will beat it!!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!!1

Will look forward to his next game.

Spore_7773869d ago

I will play the title because:
1. Sonic was a tonne of fun!
2. He has stuck to what he is now good at and has a higher chance of bringing a title with great potential, as opposed to him making a come back in an entirely new genre.
3. Read number 1.

I have high expectations of the game's quality and experience it will bring.

Life after Sega: The Sonic creator talks about being free of the hedgehog

Yuji Naka cemented his name in the history of video games by programming the original Sonic the Hedgehog. But Naka, once defined by his time at Sega, has now been outside of the company for nearly six years, after forming his own studio, Prope. And it seems he couldn't be happier.

Sonic 1-3 and Knuckles were such a big part of my younger years... Ahhh, those games are still so much fun to go through...

Sonic 2 was my second game for the Genesis ever. Got Street Fighter 2 X-mas day, and mail in rebate for Sonic 2 like 2 weeks later.

Would play the casino level for ever just to try and get max coins.

I would also add sonic spinball to that. For some reason I used to love that game.

Snookies124265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

Ah yeah, completely forgot about Spinball. Definitely an odd way to give the series a (spin)-off "get it"? lol, but it was really fun!

"One of the reasons I left Sega was, if I stayed there, I would have had to just make Sonic games," he told Polygon in an interview at Prope's Tokyo headquarters. "Right now I don't have to make Sonic anymore, so I'm enjoying that freedom a lot."

That kinda stinks if Sega wouldn't allow him to do other games, or make a new IP if that's what he means. :/

an actor being typecast for the rest of their career. Daniel Radclif will forever be known as harry potter no matter how many nude scenes he does.

that role will follow him to his grave.

Goodfella784265d ago
