SONIC 2 ON THE iPHONE
You can see by the way Sonic’s falling off the loop that the controls are a NIGHTMARE. Tails is in the lead, for god’s sake. You know it’s gone badly wrong when Tails is in the lead. He’s even going to get some rings. You’ll never see them again.
The ability to be able to press right consistently is a rather important part of the Sonic formula. It’s not OK to simply get all the colours looking right. More screenshots over on the SEGA US blog.

I played SOR2 on my HTC earlier…it was shit. This will be shit.

I bought this the other day, it’s wretchedly shit, just like the Sonic 1 emulator on the iPhone. The controls are so laggy I can’t see it being even vaguely possible to get all the Chaos Emeralds.

It’s a phone, for Christ’s sake. You call people up, or if you’re feeling particularly savvy, you text them.
Don’t, for the love of god, mix things together. Otherwise it’ll only be a matter of time before you’re drying your pants in the toaster and wlaking your dog in the microwave.
PHONES ARE FOR CALLING PEOPLE, NOT PLAYING GAMES!!!
Buy a fucking console. Mug a child if need be, but games belong on consoles, NOT phones.
*goes to calm down*

I tried drying my underpants in the microwave once. What do the kids say these days? “Fail lolz!”…or whatever.
Can we start a campaign to keep games on consoles?

I’m in. As long as we can also do a “consoles that only play games” campaign, too (Wii doesn’t count obviously). They can probably be allowed to go on the Internet a bit as well but that’s it. I’m not completely backward. But non of this blu-ray media player does everything but wank you off bullshit.

I have a marginally shameful confession – the only games I’ve played so far this year have been on mobile phone, apart from a bit of Brain Training on a DS I had to play with for work purposes.
I recommend Flight Director, if anyone’s got an Android phone like Andy.

Plus, of course, I’ve played the first levels of the work of Karl. The way things are going, all of Karl’s games are going to end up in my year-end Top 10 Best Games by default.

Going back to Karl’s comment about dual-purpose kitchen equipment, I used to boil eggs in the kettle. Fill a jug kettle with water, pop an egg in and set it to boil. By the time the water’s boiled you have a soft boiled egg and hot water for a cup of tea.
Worked great until the time the egg bounced off the element at the bottom, cracking the shell and leaving spindly threads of egg all through the water.
I agree with consoles only being for games. I don’t want to watch movies or have to talk to people with a console, thanks.
And phones are for phone calls (and for impromptu photos of swirls, faces and batteries, obviously).

Canabalt and Edge on iPhone are good games though. Apart from Flight Director I’m struggling a bit to find anything on Android that’s good.
…My goodness sorry about that, I almost went into a phone-game related comment there. Normal service resumed, when is Streets of Rage 4 coming out for Dreamcast 2? Oh goodie
