The 26 best Avatar Awards and how to get them
Extra little not about the Sonic outfit: The shoes are a separate award, earned in Sonic Adventure by registering ten hours of playtime. They're the least creepy part of the outfit, and look okay with other avatar clothes.

You Don't Know Jack (Xbox 360): You Don't Know Jack review
Like previous YDNJ titles, this won't be available outside of North America, as they would have to localise it so heavily that over half of the content would be changed. It's a damn shame!

9 most annoying kids in games
Spider-Man 2 on previous-gen formats. The only truly negative thing you can say about it is its use of that regular, pained wail of "I LOST MY BALLOOOOOOHNNNNN", putting you off your fun webswinging time, or worse, forcing you to divert course and go retrieve the balloon so you can earn 100% completion.

I'm surprised that FB hasn't been a haven for re-released titles. The only official instances I know of are Tetris and http://apps.facebook.com/monkey-island/.

Still, original ideas are what a 'platform' needs to stand out and be relevant, so well done to that dev team. Many of us will pass you over because of your platform, but those that play this game will help to bridge the casual/hardcore divide just a little bit better.
1 year, 7 months ago Game music of the day: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
I have zero doubt in my mind that Spirit Tracks is the greatest Zelda game since Majora's Mask, and may be the best game in the series overall. It fixed the problems of the Phantom Hourglass engine, it's astoundingly unique (and not just 'for a Zelda game'), and all of the key aspects (sound, graphics, story progression) balanced perfectly. It's also dangerously addictive; for the first time since the N64 days, I was spending roughly 8 hours per day on the darn thing, which consumed 95% of my free time over the Christmas holiday and well into January.

If you dismiss this game without playing it, then you are a fool or trying to justify a reason not to buy it. It was the most important DS game of 2009, without a doubt.
1 year, 7 months ago Sonic the Hedgehog 4: How it REALLY plays
The only major worry I have left about this now is the music; the instrumentation in the earlier preview versions was extremely low-quality, making for songs that sounded sub-Mega Drive in their depth and quality. The new part about the music speeding up as Sonic does doesn't sound that great at first, but I have no right to judge it until I hear for myself.

Now, if only they'd return to updating the official website! The only recent additions were that YouTube contest and downloads for the (old versions?) of Splash Hill Acts 2 & 3.
1 year, 7 months ago What Master Chief looked like as a kid
The origin story already got told in the first Halo novel, Fall of Reach (8 or so years ago?), but it glossed over most of the details after the training began. This is probably an attempt to retell and expand the fiction that was (vaguely) in-place.

@Redeater
One of the previews of the Wii version by Official Nintendo Magazine clearly stated, about the Special Stages, "This is the only time you’ll be tilting the Remote in the game, and it works". Therefore, we can assume that the Wii version no longer has the minecart stage (which was motion-based), and if the Wii version is essentially identical to the XBLA/PSN one then they won't have it too.

However, the iPhone version is now touting '2 exclusive levels that take advantage of the phone’s touch and tilt capabilities'. It's a safe bet that this is where the work they already did on the minecart stage(s) is going to end up!

The collective Internet will probably wait for the confirmation of a 'sexy' adjective before they're sold.

I started buying OPM quite late into its run, so this is the demo disc tune that I remember:
