Lost is back people!! Yes, I’m like two days late on this, but OMFG!!! The show is way too good! How can a show that leaves you completely flabbergasted before every commercial break be so damned good? If you allow me to invoke Aziz Ansari, “WWWWHHHHHHAAAAATTT!!!!” It’s probably the best show on network television, and gives True Blood and Dexter a run for their money as best on TV. Did any of you ever play the Lost game? That was crap, I do not suggest it. It wasn’t on Wii, so you were hopefully spared. Still, it’s stupid how good that show is and I can’t wait to get answers this season. (Side-note: I’m still under the delusion that we’ll be given answers. I know it won’t happen because I’m pretty sure the writers decide plot points using one of those origami fortune telling thingies that middle school girls play with to decide who their gonna marry. Yeah, that’s how Lost is written….)

I want to talk about this Project Needlemouse first. If you don’t know by now, it was the code name for the new Sonic game, “Sonic The Hedgehog 4.” Everyone’s favorite hedgehog is going back to his 2D roots after some misadventures in time and the 3D world. Seriously, the most recent Sonic games were horrific. I’m not here to talk about them though, or to even talk about Sonic 4; I want to discuss the choosing of “Project Needlemouse” as the code name for the game. WTF is that about? Was that what popped up if you picked the color purple while playing games with the Lost writers or something? It has to be the silliest name ever for a game. Whatever… Sonic 4 will be coming to all the consoles this summer, and you can find a trailer of the 2D glory just below.

Now, about High Voltage Software; we all know they love the Wii. They are the ones that delivered the ridiculously awesome, “The Conduit” to us, and shortly after its release, HVS announced two other Wii exclusives, “The Grinder” & “Gladiator A.D.” There have been some changes since then. The former is no longer a Wii exclusive, and will be delivering co-op madness to the HDC’s as well. This leaves yours truly in a bit of a pickle being a PS3 supporter, though if they are promising controls as solid and customizable as “The Conduit” gave us, I’m going Wii all the way. The latter is now called, “Tournament of Legends” and has been given a release date of May 18. Yes, I know it sounds like something that would take place on Wheel of Fortune or some other gameshow, but ToL is not child’s play. The game looks to be barbaric, bloody, and freaking awesome!! The “Legends” referenced in the title refer to Greek mythical beings and Gods, because those are the characters you will play as. Yeah, I know. You can expect much more on both of these games in the very near future. In the meantime I’m giving you the latest trailer for The Grinder, as well as some new jack swing goodness courtesy of Tony! Tone! Toni!, because Raphael Saadiq of the legendary group has started a gaming company, “Illfonic”. Yes, as soon as I get more on them and their plans for the Wii you’ll be the first to know. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.
