Sega has that SINKING feeling…

And here I thought it was bad news that Americans got cut out of the Sonic Generations collector’s edition awhile back. That was just the beginning of what is now clearly a strategic withdrawal from North America and Europe. Who knew that actively ruining your own mascot semi-annually would eventually come back to harm your stock price? Well, that and clearly phoning in games for awhile in recent memory. Sega Sammy, the parent company, has announced significant “structural reform”, which boils down to cutting losses… Continue reading →

Sonic is selling out?! Say it ain’t so!

Oooookay… Maybe Sega is worse off than I thought if Sonic is looking for Progressive insurance quotes. I’m dubious about this whole thing. Not sure if I should be more perturbed by the fact that Sega is whoring Sonic out to cash in on his lingering fame due to nostalgia for a character that they won’t make quality titles for anymore or that Progressive is so hard up to catch the gamer demographic that this ad, and regular Progressive ads, find themselves played regularly in… Continue reading →

I’m probably not buying Sonic Generations

If they’d released that set with the statue and the ring and the swag stateside, I would never have stood a chance. However, my wallet thanks Sega for neglecting North America in this particular fashion because I apparently got off easy in this respect. Yahtzee’s crazed, frothy blathering mirrors precisely what people have been popping their tops over since just before the game was released. And now Sega’s looking to do a second episode of the much reviled Sonic 4? What the hell, Sega? Why… Continue reading →

Supposedly, the famed Sega CD juggernaut that is Sonic CD is coming to Xbox Live via a list for the PAX convention’s Microsoft featured booths provided by Xbox Live’s Major Nelson. No announcements have been made and jack shit has been confirmed as of this moment. But it all seems quite promising, so let’s put it out there anyway, right? I’m surprised it took so damn long. Seriously, look at all the Genesis shit sprouting up individually post-Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection and I’m still aghast… Continue reading →

Sonic Adventure: Making an old Hedgehog THAT much older…

So Sonic the Hedgehog has had an interesting time of it in the last decade. Between being kicked out of the console race and actually joining Mario for different games (Olympics, Smash Bros.) the biggest disgrace put to this rodent has always been the abusive 3D garbage they put him through. For all the lauded talent at Sonic Team and Sega in general, they seem to be hopelessly incompetent in giving the damn hedgehog a fighting chance in a 3D environment. Then again… there was… Continue reading →

Sonic the Hedgehog: …I’m all out of blue stuff.

Last September, Tokyo Game Show last year was scarring minds across the globe. Updates on other, better (many NON-japanese) games were sadly the primary draw to TGS and Dreamcast classic/eyesore Sonic Adventure was fortunate enough to hit PSN/XBLA around that same weird time. To crack a bottle of champagne to ring in the new year and celebrate mixed feelings over Japanese products… Let’s discuss Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie. (ADV’s totally sweet Sonic movie trailer that sadly makes this film out to be a little… Continue reading →
