[REVIEW] A Lot of Games, Volume 2, Part 2

Look familiar, right? You're looking at a series of six posts in the second volume where I gather together a bunch of games I haven't talked about, write mini-reviews on them, and serve them straight to your noggin. Sure, they may not get the attention they deserve, but I get my point across fairly well. This time, I start way back in September and work my way up until early March. We're looking at a solid 24 games to be reviewed here. Be sure to brush up on the Review FAQ to make sure you understand my scoring before you whirl-up a bitch-fest.

Ahh, part 2. This quintet of games, well, there's not much I could do to sum these up. Sure, there was one that was riddled with nostalgia of sitting on the edge of my bunkbed 3 houses ago, eating a sleeve or Oreos and drinking a tall-ass glass of milk after I came up from school, said "fuck you" to homework, picked up the controller, turned on the 13" CRT TV I had in my bedroom and played for hours, never beating the fucking thing.

Oh, this is a review, right? Shit. Ok, well, here we go...

Project Needlemouse is Sonic the Hedgehog 4

Dear, sweet, merciful baby jesus, you do grant wishes!

As the headline implies, Project Needlemouse is, in fact, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, a direct sequel to Sonic & Knuckles (which, for those who don't know their Sonic history, was basically Sonic 3, part 2, as they couldn't fit the entire game onto one Genesis cartridge, so they broke the game in half, similar to Matrix 2 and 3). This has got to be, by far, the best news I've heard in a very long time.

As you can see, it's going to be episodic, as the 1st episode will be releases "this summer."

Holy shit, I cannot wait.
