  • Broke Ass Preview: Sonic 4: Episode 1


    There’s been no shortage of shitty games since I last had time to write a preview, but I can tell you this is not one of them. This Sonic done right, remember that abomination Sonic Unleashed? Fuck that game. They took the lock-on mid air dash from it and put it into Sonic 2, updated all the graphics, and added a few new features (watch the video at 1:45). The controls are perfect, 1 button does everything. There’s also an online leaderboard of the fastest clear times and by looking at it I discovered there’s a lot of secret stages and unlockables, like Gold Sonic in the video.


    Verdict: BUY. It’s available on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare, and iPhone.

      It's a pretty complete game for $8.

      There's 4 zones with 4 acts unlocked at the start but looking at the leaderboards there's a final boss zone and 8 special stages. From that video it looks like you need all the chaos emeralds to get golden sonic and I'm guessing that's how you get the special stages also.

      That's actually not too bad... the FF4 sequel gave you about 3 hours of gameplay for each "chapter" from what I heard.

      The stages are massive too.

  • Broke Ass Preview: Kirby's Epic Yarn
    by Bob

    So far I’m pretty sure the only point of this game is to collect furniture for your house. The game is essentially a simulator for going to IKEA. Each level you wander around very stylish areas looking for the only things not made out of yarn: furniture and other house decorations. This game is defiantly targeted at kids, you can’t die, the only thing that makes it at all challenging, just like IKEA, is the layout and finding the furniture, which is optional you can just clear the level...

    Sorry for I missed a few weeks, I was dead thanks for caring assholes. Anyway there's a whole slew of new turds to smell this week. Gold turds, Japanese turds, Klingon turds, gay biker turds, Goose turds, and my favorite, fat titty turds.

    My previews are clearly making a difference because this week there actually is a shortage of shitty games. I'm sure next week will be chalked full but week I've only got two for you.

    The shitty games are in no short supply this week. Ranging from oversized rats and talking dogs to knights battling ninjas just about every base is covered this week. The only thing missing is Kanye West Rock Band and I’m pretty sure that comes out next month (autotune sold separately).
