Sonic CD Review

With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 being the top-selling game on the Sega Genesis (#2 being Sonic the Hedgehog) Sega wanted to follow up with another success. Sonic 2 was being developed in the USA because Yuji Naka was tired of SEGA constantly watching him. Naoto Oshima and the rest of the staff who stayed behind worked on their version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.While Sega of Japan was developing a different Sonic game. That game was Sonic CD. Sonic CD has become something of a cult classic because of the gameplay. Is it worthy of this title? Lets find out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sonic the Hedgehog Review

Courtesy of SEGA 

During the 1980's, Mario (Super Mario Bros.) was the most well know video game character and popular game out there.  If you didn't have a copy of Super Mario Bros., you didn't have a complete NES collection.  Many competitors tried to take down the Italian plumber, but no one could stop him.  On one side, the 1990's were arriving, and Mario was making his transition to the 16-bit world with the SNES.  On the other side, SEGA was making a character that could take him down.  Many concept designs were made for the character; these ranged from a rabbit with stretchy ears, to an armadillo, who is now known as Mighty the Armadillo.  Soon, the decision to make the character a hedgehog was made; thus, Mr. Needlemouse was created.  Did I say Mr. Needlemouse?  I meant to say Sonic the Hedgehog!!!  With the boots inspired by Michael Jackson and Santa Claus, and Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude, the hedgehog was ready to run at supersonic speed and take on Mario in 1991 with his debut game Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis/ Mega Drive in 1991.

Megaman X Review

Megaman X
5UP Gaming Reviews

Mega Man was in no rush to hurry to the SNES. While many popular franchises such as Super Mario tried to leap to the new Super Nintendo to further themselves from the original NES to re-establish themselves with sequels as soon as the Super Nintendo came around, Mega Man hung back. Capcom had decided to stick to the tried and true with Mega Man. Capcom released 3 more games of the Blue Bomber before calling it quits with the NES


Mega Man X finally launched for the SNES around two and a half years after the system's debut. This wasn't just another Mega Man game with better graphics and sleeker gameplay; it was a complete reinvention of the franchise.
Much like the original Megaman games on the NES, Mega Man X is an Action-Platformer. The X series is very similar to the Classic series. You start the game on a desolate highway instead of the infamous boss select screen. This was mainly to get used to the new mechanics of the game.

Welcome to 5UP Gaming Reviews!!!

Hello everyone, this is Chris_sez welcoming you to the brand new 1UP Gaming Blog!!! I'm brand new to the idea of gaming news and reviews; however, Samantha isn't. She has a blog where she talks about a lot of things. These can vary from video game news, to anime; even to life. I would highly recommend you all to check it out. http://lazynoonz.wordpress.com/. I do have a blog as well and highly recommend you to check it out: http://biggerthanastatus.blogspot.com/.


Well as I said before, this blog is for gaming news and reviews. We'll make sure to get the news out as fast as possible and make sure it's accurate. Both of us wanted to do this for a while; just didn't have the time to set this up. It's a good thing we started now, because this seems to be the best time/year for gaming. For example, Sonic Generations. This game has got a lot of hype (as it should) and a lot are excited to see the blue blur back in his element. So to make this as cool as possible, there will be reviews for a lot of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. It does include the game gear games (expect those reviews to be short). For more Sonic news, check Sonic Retro or Sonic Stadium.


Did you think we're only doing Sonic reviews? Well think again. We're gonna hit the games of our childhood, today's games and the games that made you rage quit. That's all for now. Give us some time to get the reviews out, since we have to play the games. Also, Sam is making a background/banner for this, so stay tuned for 5UP Gaming: We're your extra lives!!!


GAME-ON!!!
