Respectable platforming and classic Sonic elements are undermined by inconsistent new ideas. Collecting Chaos Emeralds in Sonic games as a child always felt special. I have fond memories of leaping over falling spiky logs to discover a shimmering gem behind a waterfall in Sonic on the Master System, my first Sonic love. Then there was corkscrewing down a tunnel in Sonic 2 and collecting blue orbs in Sonic and Knuckles,... Read more ›

Was Snufkin always so rebellious in the Moomin TV show - or in the comic strip or in the books? I think I skewed a bit old for the TV show when it arrived so I never watched it on purpose. I watched it by accident and quite enjoyed it, but I can't remember anything about it now. All I remember are the doughy faces of the Moomins, with their... Read more ›
