Voting: Mega Man Poll

Wow! Thanks for voting on our poll!
I didn't know so many people liked Zero so much!
Well, if anyone hasn't voted, be sure to do so soon!

My Holiday Game Reviews

I'm going to start with Sonic Unleashed, which many people have been really hyped up about.
Please note that I have not finished it

Sonic Unleashed: 7.5/10, B

It has some nice looking cutscenes, but the story sucks. The opening scene is great!
Story: 7/10

Sweet daytime levels, crappy night levels. To sum it up, the daytime levels are like traditional Sonic games that switch from 2D to 3D, and the night/Werehog levels are slow paced platformer 3D beat em' up type levels. The night stages suck so much this part gets two seperate ratings.
Daytime: 9/10, Night: 5/10

The controls are fine, but I've only tested Wii Remote and GC controller. Nothing out of the ordinary here, except for a few flaws, such as the dashing technique. Still, the slow paced Werehog controls bring this down a point.
Controls: 7.5/10

Okay sound, the voice acting for Chip is kind of weird though...... Sometimes he sounds old and sometimes he sounds young....
Sound: 8/10

The graphics are kind of flaky and weird looking sometimes, but that might be because I have an ancient TV.... The village people look creepy though...
Graphics: 7.5/10

OVERALL: It's an okay game, but try to avoid those Night stages!!!!

Noe: I have the Wii version of the game.

Regarding Mega Man

Okay, if you want more info about mega man go to the mega man wiki (HERE). Also I have a request for Andy: Can you make a new poll for "which is your favorite mega man series?", because you didn't add the zx series (which is my favorite). Also also, not to brag or anything, I've beaten both of the zx games. Siarnaq all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mega Man (original series)


WARNING!: This post may contain spoilers!!!


Since Joe just made a post about "Biometal" from the Megaman ZX branch of the series, in this post I will start to discuss the original Megaman games.

As I usually start with the characters, here they are!


The Team of Light Labs (story and character)
Dr. Light: One of the creators of "Mega Man". He worked alongside Dr. Wily and they founded "Light Labs" together. Robots created for household services by this team-up were seen as common enemies in the Mega Man games(for example, the Mettool as seen above). Later, they created Protoman who was (without going into much detail) a failure.
After this failure, the team created more robots: Mega, Roll, and the Robot Masters.
Dr. Wily was jealous and angry that Light got all the credit, so he decided to rebel and attempt to take over the world! He reprogrammed the Robot Masters so they would be vicious robots that only obeyed him! Mega said he would stop Dr. Wily, and he would fight! Light converted him into a fighting robot, turning him (oddly enough, his name was changed only to have "man" at the end) into Megaman!
Fun Facts: Dr. Light's Japanese name is "Right", and this is because there is no "L" character in Japanese, and is usually replaced with "R".
His Battle Network counterpart is Tadashi Hikari, Lan Hikari's grandfather.
Dr. Wily:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

A new Turtles game is coming out for the Wii!
Why am I so excited?
Well, it's because it actually looks like the best Turtles game in a long time, and maybe even one of the best overall games in a while!
It's very early in development though, and it doesn't have a name, but it's aiming for a 2009 release. The screens show it to be similar to Smash Bros., but looks way more interactive!
It has some awesome graphics, and is not really based off of any incarnation of the Turtles.
