Added update today, covering the new issue of Nintendo Power, with a bit of focus on Super Paper Mario, and a LOT of focus on Sonic and the Secret Rings, which I cannot wait to get my hands on now.

Say, I wonder if any of the "big" sites would be interested...

Why the excitement over a Sonic game? Somewhere after Sonic Adventure, it totally went astray and never came back. Horrid load times, the worst camera of any major release, and frustrating gameplay. And the best part is, these things never get fixed. It's like Capcom churning out Mega Man X7 over and over again. Their concept of a "good idea" is giving hedgehogs guns and vehicles, instead of fixing the farkin' camera. Until Sega wakes up and realizes how broken their game is, count me out.

That's just it. This other producer seems to have the right idea. A good camera, one character, no guns, no vehicles...

While the other guys were off jerkin' off to make their Sonic x Human game, this guy seems to be making stuff work.

I mean, serious, if this sounded ANYTHING like the past 7 or so years of Sonic gaming, I'd be exceedingly cautious as well.

Btw, you did read the NP stuff, and the IGN hands-on, right?

Hell, even at E3, Red was telling me how much better people liked Secret Rings over the big "15th Anniversary" 360 title...

...did I just catch a Bill Maher joke in there, or was that my own projection?

Dunno, what was the joke? Never really watched very much Bill Maher...

("If we wanted some angsty, spikey-haired bad boy to drag us down, we'd play FINAL FANTASY VII. That's a joke! We kid the FINAL FANTASY!")

Sounded like his style. (Granted, re-reading that, I'm unsure if that was yours, or a quote from the article.)

Am I excited for Secret Rings? A bit.

Hey, it isn't by SONICTEAM, so there's a chance it'll be good (Rivals scored relatively better than other recent titles, and it was by Backbone, right?).
I hate to rag on SONICTEAM like that, but ever since the first Adventure, they've done stuff wrong and have yet to fix it.
