all the bonus stuff is pretty neat.

as for the game, as much fun as it is there are 4 problems in my opinion

1: Modern Sonic feels less controlable than in the demo (i tend to run off the sides of the levels)

2: loading/saving times (they are a bit longer than i would have liked)

3: the game is very light on story so far

4: Amy has that anoying Minni Mouse voice >_<

but the game is pretty fun and clasic sonic is great to play as

anyone else got generations?

I got the CE version.

I have quite enjoyed it so far. Only up to level 3 though and have managed to blast S Ranks on most of the levels. Its fanboy-liscious though! So many little nods to those with Sonic knowledge, Chillidogs, stalking Amy.

I really like the hub world look and the way the music flows from level to level without stopping. Plus, it's so awesome to see (For example) the Chemical Plant Zone in some snazzy new look for Modern Sonic.

Pretty awesome box set I have to say. I would love to have goldne ring # 99 though!!:D

Also a member of the generations CE club, love that massive box! If you got it on 360 install it, makes loading like 4 secs.

Finished it in a day, love all the easter eggs (Mighty & Ray ftw), shockingly the 06 level is probably the best!

BAAAH! I was hoping it would ahve an install option but I didn't see one anywhere. Playing this sucker on the PS3. I hope it is there and I just missed it, coz the load times really take you out of the 'zone.' Especially when it saves. Why can't I move? Oh, its STILL saving.

Allstars racing was a slow loader as well.

Downloaded the extra stuff too. the theme is a bit naff, just Sonic characters for Icons and a background. I was hoping for it to be a Dynamic theme, but oh well. The Casino night Pinball game is a nice fun distraction, but if you don't get it you are not really missing out on much. I.E I wouldn't want to pay for it.

Overall, this game is living up to my expectations!

Speaking of DLC, anybody bought the Nightwing for Arkham City? I saw that it's $7 US, but on the PSN it is naturally more. $11.45 (I think, definitley in the 11 mark), that's a bit too much for my liking. Just a new skin, some moves and two battle maps? Just think, it's about 10% of the cost of the full price game, or more depending on where you bought it for so little. Disappointed.

I'm so hopelessly addicted to Dark Souls...It's like crack! Demons Souls I played for 65 hours but with this new one I'm at 86 and I can't see that stopping any time soon. :o I'm right at the end but I can't bring myself to finish it, there is still so much to do!! Then there's New Game + with stronger enemies! And PvP battles!

Awesome, welcome to your new life. If there's one piece of advice I could give you it's this: Lightning enhanced weapons annihilate in Dark Souls. I only discovered this 60-odd hours into the game when I upgraded my Great Scythe and wowsers does that thing do some damage! Have fun :)

I just pray Bethesda ditch the 'enemies level with you' shtick for Skyrim. Although no biggie if they don't, I'll save some dosh and just keep playing Dark Souls. :p
