Edward 1Happy Early Christmas!
December 7th 2011 16:16
As far as games are concerned, Christmas is already here. All the AAA titles of this year are on store shelves, sporadically sold out and stocked up at all major game stores like EB, Game, Gametraders and Gamesmen. Christmas marks the return of big franchises like Gears of War and Uncharted. And the return to form to mascots of yesteryear.
Mascots returning to the spot light include Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Generations. A revisit to the memorable worlds in the series from the the first game to the present. Each Stage comes in 2 Acts: Act 1 is in 2D as the original Sonic character model from the Genesis days, and Act 2 is in 3D as the green eyed, talkative Sonic from the Dreamcast games and onwards. It all adds up to a fun nostalgia rush and a reminder for long time fans the scope of how far Sonic had traveled since 20 years ago.
Another mascot's return to 2D platforming is Rayman. I remember fond memories of the first game on PlayStation. It was a tough but fun game I was hooked on for many hours. I hadn't played a Rayman game since Rayman Raving Rabbids was released for the Wii. His platforming return in Rayman Origins for the PS3, 360 and Wii had received highly positive reviews, which I'm looking forward to buying if I have any money left after Christmas.
I hope you have a safe Christmas and many hours of game time.
