With my girlfriend out of the house tonight, I figured it was a perfect time to do a little bit of logging. (And making grilled cheese sandwiches.) Here's another really short and mostly pointless game from the Sonic Mega Collection. In case it wasn't totally obvious already, it's a Sonic pinball game. ("Spin"-ball - get it?) There's not a lot to say here. The game consists of four gigantic pinball tables that you must traverse by, well, playing pinball. Each table has a boss fight that only gets unlocked after you collect three chaos emeralds scattered around the table, and all of the boss fights more or less consist of bouncing your Sonic-ball off Robotnik's head. I have to say, at least this pinball spin-off makes sense; way too many video game franchises have received pinball spin-off games - Mario, Pac-Man, Metroid, Kirby, Pokémon - and at least Sonic has always been a fast-moving ball-shaped character. So the concept doesn't even feel like much of a stretch in this case. The game couldn't have taken me much more than an hour to beat, and there are plenty of YouTube videos of tool-assisted ten-minute runs; I didn't exactly relieve myself of an enormous burden by beating this game. Still, a logging is a logging, and the backlog is now another step closer to completion.
i was expecting collosi(sp?) not sonic.
