Musician May Have Revealed A New Sonic The New Hedgehog Game

It hasn't been easy for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog for the past 15 years. Though still beloved for his classic sidescrolling trilogy on the Genesis, things have been rougher for Sega's mascot since his jump to both 3D and his first appearances on other consoles. For a while, it seemed that every Sonic game that came out was okay at best and a disaster at worst. The release of the more positively received Sonic Colors in 2010 and Sonic Generations in 2011 seemed to signal a possible return to form, but the disappointing Sonic Lost World and now-infamous Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric appear to have brought the series into the realm of constant failure again.

Freedom Planet 2 Announced For PC

Indie developer GalaxyTrail made their debut in 2014 with the Kickstarter-funded PC title called Freedom Planet, which was a throwback to 16-bit action platformers. I got the chance to review the game's Wii U port back in August, and found it to be a very well-done amalgamation of classic mechanics and clever level design. Now, GalaxyTrail has announced their next project in the form of Freedom Planet 2, which will look to enhance and refine the original's mechanics and presentation in numerous ways.

King’s Quest: Chapter 2 – Rubble Without A Cause Review

It's nice to see King’s Quest: Chapter 2 – Rubble Without a Cause provide an interesting twist on adventure game mechanics, but a limited amount of mostly dreary environments leads to hours of repetition that, along with awkward mechanics, burns a lot of good will.
