I used to randomly rant about stuff on RetroForceGO!, but now I do it in front of a camera because I enjoy being able to count all the acne scars on my face. This week’s Rev Rant — they’re scheduled for Thursdays now, tell your friends — is about howSnatcherfor the Sega CD somehow managed to wring more creativity and interesting gameplay out of its control scheme than most Wii games....

Stealth Inc. ? A Clone in the Dark! In coming to PlayStation Network,Stealth Bastardneeded a new name. And so the developers took to the Internet at large to brainstorm, because it seemed like a good idea at the time. While I’m sorry to say that Destructoid reader suggestions like “Illegitimate Child: The Sneakening” and “Sneaky F*cker” didn’t make the cut,the revised name is in:Stealth Inc. – A Clone in the Dark....
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the third live-action film based on Sega’s iconic mascot, is coming out today in theaters all around the world.And it already is such a huge critical success that Paramount Pictures recently green-lighted a fourth entry.

Christopher Lloyd is awesome. On Taxi, he was Reverend Jim; in Back To The Future, he was Doc Brown; and in Toonstruck, he was Drew Blanc. The failure of Toonstruck isn’t nearly as gargantuan or unfortunate as last week’s game, but that doesn’t make it any less depressing. Toonstruck was a fun, hilarious romp through an animated world that was cut way too short by some overzealous designers. The PlotDrew Blanc is an animator whose claim to fame was The Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show, which is exactly as annoying as it sounds....

Turns out I had a pretty fun time watching it despite mymixed feelings, though, and it appears that plenty of other people did too, because the movie just passed $300 million in box office sales....

Even though the industry at large always seems to be focused on the Next Big Thing, there are a few who are committed to preserving the history of the medium so that future generations can learn from the past. Frank Cifaldi is a former games journalist and developer, probably best known from his time at Gamasutra and 1UP....
Henshin-a-go-go times a hundred In the opening moments of this year’sThe Wonderful 101demo, I turned a stack of people into a giant fist in order to turn on a water valve. This valve sent water gushing down a water slide, and my crew and I rode the current and splashed into the pool below. YES. If you’ve not had the privilege of seeing footage of PlatinumGames’ take on a superhero-themedPikmin, you play a red-suited leader with the ability to grant temporary superpowers to ordinary citizens....
