Well, it's finally here, and we're celebrating with a PlayBit.
Believe it or not, PixlBit is officially turning one this Friday! I know it's hard to believe, but for one solid year we have been providing a variety (we hope) of content in many different forms.
11 years of improving game design does a great job of highlighting the numerous issues present in Sonic's first true foray into 3D.
Sonic Adventure is Sonic's true debut in 3D, and as such, the gameplay that once defined the series has been drastically altered in order to accommodate expectations for a 3D game at the time of original release. As time has gone on and Sega has continued to make games in this style, gamers have come to loathe Sonic titles due to this fact. Regardless of all the hate, I always felt like Sonic Adventure was a genuinely good game. Revisiting it 11 years later has proved otherwise.
It appears that the Wii Remote is being produced complete with Wii MotionPlus inside.

This budget-priced puzzle game delivers an engaging and thoughtful experience.
Kororinpa. That's what I first thought when I saw Puzzle Dimension. I was most definitely mistaken, as Puzzle Dimension is nothing like the Wii marble rolling game. Instead, Puzzle Dimension is a pure puzzle game that requires players to make calculated movements and jumps to first collect the flowers in a level and then make their way back to the exit.
Four Spider-Men are better than one.
It seems that each and every year a new Spider-Man game is released, and every year that Spider-Man game seems to be a disappointment. My last exposure to a Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2, which featured open-world exploration and tasks. The game controlled well and was moderately enjoyable, but the structure was a bit too loose, causing the game to eventually become tedious and boring. Shattered Dimensions, the latest Spider-Man game, is quite the opposite. For the first time ever, the essence of Spider-Man has truly been captured through the game's characters, levels, presentation, and solid gameplay.
Four distinct Spider-Man universes collide in the latest Spider-Man title from Beenox.
