Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog on XBLA
Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog were both released today on Xbox Live Arcade for $5 each. I’m not really excited about either one. I’ve never been a Sonic fan and while I do remember enjoying Golden Axe I think retro titles like this are like movies and tv shows I liked in the 80’s. They are better off staying in my memory because in reality they were not that good. The one thing I like about both of there games from Sega is that you can assign all of the buttons however you want. In Golden Axe they also provide an option to turn on/off rapid fire. Sonic looks about how I remember it, but Golden Axe looks really bad by today’s standards. I wish they had at least taken the time to make enhanced graphics for it like many other retro titles are doing. Because neither of these games are really that good I’m not going to bother withl reviews on them since there are demos of current games I’d rather spend my time with.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
