Sonic 2 gets better, Sonic gets fat, and then gets awesome.
/With the upcoming arrival on Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and Sonic Colors I figured it'd be a good time to look at some Sonic related videos on youtube. Some of them hilarious, while others are mostly awesome.
Sonic 2 is an incredible game, definitely my favorite in the series (If not my favorite game ever). How would you improve upon video game perfection? Is it even possible? Oh yes, yes it is. How you ask? Give Sonic and Tails voice acting, of course.
Absolute perfection I tell you.
Sonic 2 XL is a rom-hack created by Captain Bozo that replaces the regular golden rings Sonic acquires with well... onion rings. But that's not all, as Sonic collects the delicious morsels he starts to put on a bit of weight. It can get to the point where Sonic is just this fat blob rolling down hills at incredibly fast speeds. I'd like to play it, but I would seriously have to change the way I play Sonic so I don't die seven seconds into the game.
And this undeniably awesome video is a remake of the final zone of Sonic & Knuckles done in stunning 3D animation. This is only part one, as the creator was very busy when he made it and never gave it an ending. He's still busy (he now works at Bioware) but hopefully he'll be able to finish this.

Hetalia: Axis Powers
/
I have been Hetalia crazy lately. I think this is becoming my new favorite Anime. Hetalia: Axis Powers takes place during the time periods of World War 1 and 2. It takes a spin and a satire of those events and use each country as a human character. I didn't get a chance to read the manga yet. However the anime looks really funny. Also the game is coming for the PSP soon. Check out the clips of the show and game. Anime Rules!!!!!!!Turtles Forever Review

Fatal Frame IV: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Review
/
The Fatal Frame or Project Zero series, is one of the hidden gems in the survival horror genre. The series is known for being one of the scariest horror series in videogames. The first three games was released worldwide for the Playstation 2. However the fourth installment was for the Wii Japan only. Is this game worth the import or should you not take the ghost trip?
Story - Five girls are kidnapped by a suspected serial killer named Yo Haibara. He kidnaps them from their homes on an island called Rougetsu. A detective comes and saves the girls from their would be fate. Years later has passed and two out of the five girls die. The three survivors Ruka, Misaki and Madoka return to find out what has happen. They have no memories and hope that returning to the island will give them answers.
Gameplay - Unfortunately Fatal Frame IV gameplay is nothing new under the sun. With the fourth installment we were hoping for something different. However nothing much has changed except the setting, and the addition of motion control. Players will use the Wii Mote to control their flashlight. The Wii Nunchunk is used to control your player. The problem is sometimes the motion control is clunky. It takes long to respond and this gets annoying when using the Camera Obscura. Ghost battles can be difficult due to some control issues. However the scares deliver as usual. The ghost will freak you out. There are plenty of jump scares to go around. However if you play the previous installments you will start to know what scares will come. The ghost fights are pretty easy as long as you upgrade properly. There is shops where you by healing items and films to make you survive this trip. The gameplay is exactly the same with a few tweaks. Mission mode and the ability to save your pictures is still there. The new addition doll list allows you take pictures of 79 dolls. Taking pictures of all 79 will unlock costumes and new lenses. Veterans should have no problem with the gameplay.
Gameplay Video
Graphics - The graphics are probably one of the best on the Wii. It's also the best in the series. The dark hallways, the lighting of the candles and the ghost is the best yet. There were a few pixel issues I've seen, but it's nothing that will ruin the experience. The ghost looks more disturbing and haunting to ever. You will feel agitated as the environment works your nerves.
Sound - The sound is what makes Fatal Frame so disturbing. The echos of the ghost through hallways. Random objects falling around your area. Also Tsukiko Amano returns with another theme for the series. If you have this game on surround sounds it is pure amazing.
Replay Value - Unless you want to find all 79 dolls and completed the ghost list. Like most horror games the scares are a one trip thing.
Final Grade B- Fatal Frame IV is the fourth installment of the series. We were hoping for a new a direction. However if it's not broke don't fix it. The scares, graphics and sound is amazing. The clunky control is a little annoying but doesn't ruin the experience. If you have all three games I say import it. If you are looking for a true survival horror series then this game might be for you.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (The Videogame) Review
/
How deep is your love Scott Pilgrim? Are you willing to sacrifice mind, body and precious gaming time to win her heart? Is this PSN and XBOX live game based on the Graphic Novel, and Movie worth the ten bucks?
Story - The game follows closely to the graphic novel and the movie. Scott Pilgrim falls in love with a girl named Ramona. However making her the one isn't all that easy. In order for Scott to win Ramona's heart, he has defeat her seven evil exes.
Gameplay - The gameplay is in the classic beat em up genre. Players are able to choose from four playable characters and a secret character. They are able to play with Scott Pilgrim, Kim, Ramona & Stills. Players are also able to call on the wacky, but sweet Knives Chau for help. The game consists of seven levels, with two or three areas for each level. As you progress during the game you will level up. You will achieve new combos moves, a higher health count and higher special attack count. Each level gives you more moves which is severely needed to survive. In addition to battle upgrades, players will collect money from their fallen enemies. Using the money you can purchase food, clothes and upgrades needed. The A.I. is challenging no matter what difficulty setting. There will be times, the A.I. will try to get behind you for a sneak attack. The boss fights really capture the movie and novel. Each boss have their own special attacks, weakness and super attacks. I suggest you study their pattern and know when to block and when to attack. This is a beat em up many wish Ubisoft did for the recent Ninja Turtles game. Finally there is offline multiplayer where you play with three of your other friends. However there is no online multiplayer. Have fun with the zombie mode :).
Gameplay Video
Graphics - This game really pays homage to the old school days of gaming. The graphics and spirites are beautiful. The developers really took they time to detail. The lighting in the club fight is great. Framerate works well with no lag issues. However the most important thing about the graphics is that it sticks to the comics. Everyone looks exactly or close enough to the graphic novel counterparts.
Sound - This game has some of the most addicting 8-bit music I heard in a while. Each level feels epic like your playing in the golden age of beat em ups. Most the 8-bit music is of the rock genre and I feel that it really sets the tone well. I feel that the music really compliments the character, the scene and setting.
Replay Value - If you want to unlock the secret character, you will have to beat the game with all four characters. However that is not a gimmick to keep you playing. This game is tons of fun and you would want to get all trophies/achievements. There is zombie mode and easter eggs to discover. This game should keep you occupied for a while. All I can say is good luck getting the not getting hit trophy/achievement.
Final Grade A+ - If you are an old school gamer like me. You can appericate this love letter to the beat em up genre. The game is fun, challenging and has addictive music. There are so many references the old days of gaming and tons of things to unlock. The graphics and spirites are beautiful. Most importantly this is an adaption game that does not suck. It does both the graphic novels and movies now. This is a must own game and for ten dollars can you go wrong. Buy it!

No we are not fucking joking! This is a real trailer to Titanic. No James Cameron has nothing to do with this. Here is the synopsis from IMDB.com. Why do people even try? We will have a review of this movie, we think it will make us laugh very hard.
"On the 100th anniversary of the original voyage, a modern luxury liner christened "Titanic 2," follows the path of its namesake. But when a tsunami hurls an ice berg into the new ship's path, the passengers and crew must fight to avoid a similar fate."

What Happen To G4TV?
/
Disclaimer - This article does not reflect the views of everyone at OtakusandGeeks.com only Justin.
As I'm sitting at home, relaxing before my meeting today. I decided to do something I haven't done in a while. I decided to turn on the cable. As usual there was nothing stimulating for me to watch. I decided to check on my favorite channel from back in the day G4. I hit program guide to see what gaming shows they have for me to watch. Not to my surprise I see nothing besides X-Play and Attack Of The Show. What I did see is a bunch of non game related shows such as, "Cops", "Cheaters", "Ninja Warrior" (I LOVE NINJA WARRIOR FOR THE RECORD) and a bunch of Sci-Fi movies. Imagine having the Anime Channel and they don't show Anime. Instead they are showing live action shows and movies. This is how I feel about G4 right now. A channel that started for gamers, is now making me say what the hell has happen to G4TV?
G4 Of The Past - The G4 of the past I would watch all day when I had the time. They had many great shows that catered to the gaming audience. Some of these shows were "Judgement Day", "Filter", "Icons", "G4TV.com" and even "Code Monkeys" is M.I.A. See the classic G4 shows below. Yes I know "Code Monkeys" is more recent but they don't even re-run it.

What Happen To G4TV? - There were other great gaming shows as well. I just can't think of them right now. The old G4 really catered to the gamers. It was a dream channel that many of us wanted. A channel that was all about videogames and geeky things all the time. Now I look at G4 today and all I see is Cops and Cheaters. What does Cops have to do with gaming? What does Cheaters have to do with gaming? I'm not the only one saying this. Look at the old videos of G4 on Youtube, and you will see a huge fan outcry for the old G4. I don't want to watch shows that I can see on FOX or other channels. I want to watch shows that are original. I want to see shows that you couldn't get anywhere else on cable.
If X-Play and Attack Of The Show are the only gaming shows G4 has, then they should change their slogan. If this was the old G4, the Videogame Awards would be on their channel and not Spike TV. My question is what happen? Did the big bosses in suits decided to just pull the plug? Did G4 just lose sight of it's audience? Or does G4 need new program management to create new shows? Regardless of this little rant or fans outcry there will always be politics. Politics is a bitch and it gets in the way of quality. Who knows maybe the staff at G4 really want the old G4 back. Maybe the big bosses are just not allowing it to happen. Did money get in the way of good programs on G4? It doesn't matter anymore. Either way I know one thing for sure, I have unplugged from this once great channel.
