image

Only took 2 days, but I did it.

So how can you control Knuckles, and what happens when you collect all the Chaos Emeralds?

The post is full of spoilers that involves when you unlock the characters and the Chaos Emeralds, so if you don’t want to know, then just admire the picture above.

But if you’re in a dangerous mood, read on and be enlightened.

Sonic 1 Remastered out for iOS + Android - First Impressions.

Sonic 1 Remastered was released to the App Store an hour ago, which was a nice surprise to me as I was looking on the App Store and this update appeared.

I couldn’t help playing a bit through it and showing my impressions on here.

My Link to the Past: Metal Gear Solid

image

Continuing on with my ‘Link to the Past’ series, the next game is another all time classic in my eyes.

As Metal Gear Solid V was finally announced to the world a few weeks ago, I thought it was only fitting that I’d write about my favourite entry in the series.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Trailer.


It looks incredible. Psycho Mantis as a child perhaps?


Maybe set in the 70’s.

Tomb Raider Retrospective Part 1, a brilliant watch.

I can’t see it being anything else.

They’ll either ignore the inevitable and price it at £500, or use the ‘Gaikai’ service they bought last year and have it for £99 with a subscription service to maximize profit.

Either way, I’m curious to see what happens.

The Verge have a good article on it too.

A cancelled Streets of Rage remake. Looked incredible.

My Link to the Past: Tomb Raider 2

Firstly, i’ve been able to write an article every few weeks for the student magazine about certain games that defined part of my childhood in the 90’s.

Tomb Raider 2 was one of these, and the maagazine was finally published yesterday:

Published!

Pretty excited to finally see it published after a few weeks waiting :)

Due to the limited word count in the magazine, it’s missing a few sections, especially the conclusion. So I thought i’d post the unedited version here, with some videos as well.

20 years of Sonic 2. Incredible.

Pop Fiction.
It’s from GameTrailers, but it’s the section that’s a favourite of mine.
It goes though a game every few weeks to see if a myth known for years is actually true, be it if theres a way to get the Triforce in Ocarina of Time, to seeing if Mew can be collected legitimately in Pokemon Red and Blue.
If any of that paragraph means anything to you, click the link below!

Today, the highlight for me wasn’t anything newsworthy to write about, but instead, it was Portal 2 Co-Op with a friend.

Brilliantly enjoyable, and the first multiplayer i’ve played that you want to keep going back to, and feels rewarding, especially with someone you know.

Immersive.

Go Right.

Countless games that only need you to, go right.

Amazing.

Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that’s all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.

Prince of Persia Source Code found and extracted after 25 years.

persiasource

The creator of the game ‘Prince of Persia’, Jordan Mechner, had a call from his dad in New York finding the original code in a box 3 weeks ago, in no less than 20 floppy disks amounting to 2mb.

Luckily, the code has been able to be copied from an Apple II to a modern day laptop, and it was only finished today without fault, incredible.

EDIT: Jordan posted an update to this describing the journey from floppy disk to Macbook. Link.
