Review: Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved

By Barry Hodgson, July 30, 2008 0

The original Geometry Wars Retro Evolved for Live Arcade, was mainly put up to show the kinds of titles that could come out on Live arcade (the game having previously been given away in PGR2 and 3), in fact i’d think it would be safe to say that it’s probably one of the most popular titles on Arcade.

Sega Confirms Sonic and the Black Knight

By Barry Hodgson, July 21, 2008 5 Nintendo Wii

Sega has confirmed that the Nintendo Power Scans showing “Sonic and the Black Knight” are indeed true.

The game is a followup to Sonic and The Secret Rings, and continues the storybook theme as the game sees Sonic transported to Medieval England to help King Arthur…or something.
