Taking a look at Minecraft 360 TU9


Last week, Minecraft 360 title update 9 was released. The end has come to MC360, you can now take one the ender dragon along with you Xbox live buddies. Along with that, new textures, and new music for the nether. comes spawn eggs in creative mode that allows to spawn mobs (both good and bad) in creative. Sadly there are a few bugs that make the game a pain in the ass to play. Mainly the lighting...

  

The lighting problem is pretty bad. As you can see in the images above, lighting just won't work right when underground, even with a torch and lava near by this" black hole". But not to threat 4J studios already has TU10  ready to for Microsoft to approve it for release. Here are the fixes coming in TU10

Sonic CD (PS3) review


A Sonic the Hedgehog fan favorite has come to PSN (and XBLA), the 1993 classic has been called one of the best sonic games made and of of the hardest. Does this version with some add-on still hold up?

Sonic CD begins with a animated sequence from the old DIC cartoon, having an animated sequence was big for a game  back in '93. You don't how the story really starts out, you're out to stop Dr.Robotnik in one of his plans to turn the world into robots. For some reason, he's put up time gates for to to go forward and back in time, oh and a metal sonic steals amy, sonic's lady friend. Over all this is just a regular classic sonic games, run, doge or kill enemies, get at least 50 rings, and get the gem in the special stage. I didn't really find this hard at all till the end, though I did not try to get the gems or find the metal sonic statues. Time attack is great if like to go as fast as you can in a level. A bonus in this version is if you beat the game, you can replay it as tails, which is great but I wish they included knuckles as well. Also include is the English and Japaneses soundtracks, which is far superior ton the English one, only could stand it for 5 minutes. I wish it would let you make multiple save files for the same game you're playing, miss getting a gem, you have to restart the whole game. For $4.99 Sonic CD is a great download, special if like me, you never had a Sega CD. Sonic CD is a great classic that any hardcore sonic fan must play.

Classic The Simpsons Arcade Game coming to consoles


It was revealed on Friday that Konami and BackBone entertainment (who has released may classic arcade beat 'em ups) may be sending The Simpsons Arcade game to consoles next month. Along side the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game (which still mat be on XBLA, go get if you do not have it) the Simpsons arcade game are my favorite arcade games of my childhood. I only got to play it once a year at the county fair's arcade.....till they stop having a arcade there. which I stop going to the fair. This arcade game has the honor of being the closest I ever got to beating a game on a arcade machine. I will be getting this game, and I will beat it to fix a childhood disappointment.
