It goes through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game. He just finished the series this weekend, and it's definitely worth watching in its entirety. Ah, the wonders of YouTube.Įnter the always-amusing Criken, who has been uploading his playthrough of Aliens: Colonial Marines to YouTube for the past couple of weeks. But that doesn't mean Aliens can't make for entertaining playthrough videos. The consensus seems to be that Aliens: Colonial Marines isn't a very good game. When I load up a Sonic the Hedgehog game, there are two things I want to do: run fast and kill some animal robots. Hardlight promises updates in the app's iTunes description, so maybe there's hope yet. I've completely forgotten the complaint from the previous paragraph.Īs lovely as it is, Sonic Dash could use a little more personality, perhaps the story mode that made Sonic Jump playable despite the speedy hedgehog misuse. I came really close to accidentally purchasing $34.99 worth of rings last night while stabbing at the screen to continue. They're so stunning that you can almost forgive the fact that every time you die you have to wait for what are essentially ads for the game's own in-app purchases before continuing. Sonic Dash is also an incredibly pretty game, using assets that look as if they were lifted directly from its console cousins. There may be dozens of endless runners out there (five came out this week alone), but there's always room for Sonic. It's a simple formula that works incredibly well for the character. See Sonic clear large jumps using his Homing Attack. See Sonic collect coins to activate his Dash power, rendering him blindingly fast and invulnerable for a short time. See Sonic spin dash to avoid obstacles and kill enemies. That's exactly what Sonic Dash is - the best bits of the 3D console games, without all the filler. How do you make a good 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game? You take a bad one and cut away all the unappealing bits. This week Hardlight has released endless runner Sonic Dash on iOS. Jumping is not the ability Sonic the Hedgehog is known for. When Sega's Hardlight Studio released Sonic Jump last year, I shook my head.
