Sonic The Hedgehog ‘Boom’ ROM Hack Sonic The Hedgehog ‘Boom’ ROM Hack Our much loved blue hedgehog has always had an attitude, but his transition into the 3D world equipped him with a vocal arrogance.

For all of my underlying Britishness, I have to say, I’m not a rugby fan. I don’t dislike it, mind you, but I’m just not terribly interested in it, which is odd, considering how much I love football. Rugby is similar to cricket, insofar as it’s a sport the English invented and exported to their […]
Depending on who you ask, the name Shane Warne has very different connotations. To Americans, he’s probably best known as that fat old Australian guy who plays poker and bangs Elizabeth Hurley.

However, Rik asked nicely, so I’ve done a bit of research on the subject of 16-bit wrasslin’. […]
I won’t argue that “bigger” game experiences are usually found on beefier personal computer hardware, and that consoles have long received simpler, shorter games in comparison. I also won’t argue that I enjoy seeing more complex titles try to break this trend – even today with seeing something like The Witcher 2 pull an exceedingly […]
