In my book, a superhero videogame's first priority is to accurately recreate the experience of being the hero in question. Although Fantastic 4 does a passable job in this regard, a few slip-ups and some stale gameplay do a lot to soil the illusion.

Well to cut a long story short, none of what I wanted came true. In a number of interviews Creative Assembly stressed that Spartan had little in common with the other entries in the Total War franchise. And they are absolutely right. The game's setting is more of a fantasy remix than an actual depiction of ancient Greece.

Sonic Gems Collection basically dares its audience to ask one question: does merely being old qualify a game for 'classic' status, or did the game have to be good in the first place? Sonic Gems offers three previously unrereleased Sonic games, as well as eight other 'bonus' titles, bringing the grand total up to 11. This shotgun approach is actually the secret of the title's success, because while the three marquee titles are a bit of a letdown, a few of the lesser titles are interesting and fun enough to make the game worthy of a look.

According to ESRB, this game contains: Cartoon Violence

Game Description: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Melee is a great party game for fans of fighters and the classic characters. It delivers hours of bashing, crashing and trashing fun with more than 20 playable characters. Try the competitive Adventure mode and huge variety of mini games and unlockables. Take on either mode in single player, or play with up to three friends in a four-player free-for-all.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had a long and storied history of videogame adaptations. They range from a nearly impossible NES action game to a series of decent brawlers and mediocre fighting games, finally petering out in the mid-90s along with the rest of the franchise.
