Games Beaten 2012

Sonic CD again, as Tails w/ all Time Stones. Pissed that you can't get the Heavy Metal achievement as Tails. Trying to get my times down in Time Attack to 25minutes. Gotta shave off about a minute and change. But I'm having a hard time.

You can play as Tails on Sonic CD?

In the new release, yes. It doesn't come on a CD, either.

In the new release, yes. It doesn't come on a CD, either.

So it should just be called "Sonic".

I hope the new release is at least a good port.

I purchased the original sonic on the gba and it was terrible. Such a shame.

The new one, from what I understand, is the best version of the game you can get.

I believe the PSN version is still on sale for $4.99 -- I should really grab it now. I'm pretty sure that big Sega & Capcom sale on PSN lasts until 1/10.

With this and Sonic Generations, the hedgehog ended 2011 in style

In the new release, yes. It doesn't come on a CD, either.

Or maybe just rename it Sonic 4 and pretend that the other one never existed

I've played the demo. It's fine. In fact, it's better because of having both soundtracks, and the game doesn't have those tiny pauses while the system loads up the next music track anymore.

1. Sonic CD (PSN)

well that didn't take me too long! I haven't played Sonic CD since around the time it came out. It was one of my favorite Sega CD games back then. But wow. I haven't had a SCD in many, many years. Turns out it was like riding a bike. I lost 2 lives on the last level (stupid pits). But besides that, I flew right through on a single life. Y'know, I often site Sonic 2 as my favorite of the original series. But I really love Sonic CD. I think it has a certain 90's something-awesome going on. From the shitty music, to the awesome anime cut-scenes, I just love it. Sure the levels are a little meh compared to Sonic 2, but really I think they were short because the devs probably put more thought into the bells and whistles afforded by the CD technology. Anyway, I'm so glad to see this on PSN. The added trophies are awesome, and I'm sure to play through it again. (After Sonic Generations, I'm totally nostalgic for more Sonic).

The game is on sale? I bought it for 400 MS points ($5) and thought that was the normal price considering S&K and the other Genesis games are 240 points ($3). No matter, everyone should go and download this game; it is one of my top 3 favorite Sonic games.

I really don't know. It came out at $4.99, but Sega was having a sale at the same time, so not sure if that's normal price or sale price.
