    Within a Deep Forest

    http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?main=04Within_a_Deep_Forest This is a freeware opensource game. It is *absolutely fantastic*. It's small puzzle/physics game. It's definitely a hard game, but the gameplay is rewarding. It's also massive, and a great timewaster. I haven't tried any of the...

    What franchises?

    In the spirit of Nights and Sonic and the Secret Rings, what franchises would you like to see reborn/redone? Burning Rangers - you know, Gun Valkyrie reminded me of this game. Xbox 360 or PS3 Shinobi - not that PS2 controller smashing fest. Something that mixes fun and skill, like Shinobi...

    Sonic RPG Hype

    Here's an article discussing the possibly forthcoming yet to be named Sonic RPG: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3160649 Interesting read. I like how Sega has decided they're going back to the original sonic, not this stupidly contrived one that was force fed down our throats for the...

    PS2: The Red Star

    Has anyone played "The Red Star" yet? The basic history of the game is that was about to be released three years ago, the company went bankrupt, then just a few weeks ago they decided to release the game but without any fanfare. It's a $20 game, new. It's a beat 'em up slash shooter, which is...

    Not news, but an interesting rumor

    Saturn Titles coming to the VC? It's something interesting to think about. I'm pretty sure this rumor is dead in the water, as Saturn games are much too big for the Wii's internal memory - but there are those USB ports (external harddrive)? Any thoughts?

    Pretty neat sonic-like flash game

    Threads just kind of died, here's something that should hopefully perk some interest: http://www.kodiefiles.nl/games/hedgehog.swf It's a hand drawn flash game with a great deal of inspiration from Sonic, so it seems. That, and it's pretty damned cool.

    Combining Forums

    Perhaps it's just me, but it would probably spur discussion if there's only a few forums to visit instead of a bunch at a time - and since there isn't too much activity, new threads probably won't get pushed to the bottom very quickly. That being said, does anyone have any thoughts on which...
