Sonic Unleashed: European Trailer

We all thought Sonic was dead. You could not find him anywhere. Was he stuck up someone’s ass like Lemmiwinks? Turns out he is alive and well and in a new Sonic game that looks actually really, really good. Sonic Unleashed is coming our way soon. Good to see him not in someone’s ass.

Realistic Sonic Has Rabies

These realistic paintings of video game characters are really creeping me out. The newest is Sonic the Hedgehog. Looks rabid to me. Might want to run away from that thing before you get infected.

The artist is pretty good, but damn these things make me want to stay far away from the characters.

Thanks, I guess, go to EHT for the tip.

Rumor: New Sonic Game in Production?

The last next gen Sonic game was pretty bad, but there have been some screenshots floating around the web and now a video has surfaced of what appears to be a new Sonic adventure. We all here hope that it not bullshit and the game doesn’t suck. We shall see. In the meantime, check this out.

Mario and Sonic Team Up for Olympics

In a move that no one ever thought would happen, Mario and Sonic will be sharing the same screen. Nintendo and Sega are teaming up to make a game with characters from both franchises for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The basis of the game is to compete is all events that will take place at the 2008 Olympics. I think Sonic has an unfair advantage in all the running competitions. Maybe a Koopa Troopa will break his leg, Nancy Kerrigan style.

On the Nintendo side, the one and only Shigeru Miyamoto will be making some large contributions to the game. Of bigger note, Sega will have their Sega Sports team working on the game, and not Team Sonic. Hopefully Team Sonic just gets fired. They’ve turned a great franchise into poo with their recent Sonic games. Let’s see if Sega Sports can turn that around, with Shiggy’s help.

The game will hit for the Wii and DS later this year.
