Summer of Sonic is here! - Alan Davis 8/9/08
From the Summer of Sonic (http://www.summerofsonic.com) website:
http://www.w00ty.com:8000/sos.ogg
Using VLC(http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) or other equivalent media player, you can watch the event unfold during the day. Most of the day you may find a bird’s eye view of the convention due to the amount of work everyone is doing in the hall. Due to this we cannot commit to specialised live programmes, but we will do our best.
During the peak times later in the afternoon, we will focus the action on the main stage. This will include the Q&A Session and The Sonic Hour Live. Please check the Schedule for times of when these events will take place.
Because of quality issues, we will not be able to provide a live feed to Richard Jacques’ live performance with TJ Davis and Lee Brotherton. The Summer of Sonic will record it and provide a download of the video later in the weekend.

Elson's art also appears in this week's Judge Dredd strip in 2000AD (and regularly in 2000AD), while Lew Stringer continues working for Viz, Toxic! and Image's Elephantmen. Former script Hume Mark Millar and editor Andy Diggle... well, you can those ones out for yourself, boomers!

Sonic Unleashed - Cosmic 4/6/08
It's confirmed by Sega Europe, Sonic will be returning to all the Next-Gen consoles (and PlayStation 2) with a new game.
Titled Sonic Unleashed, the released (and previously leaked) screenshots and video show promise, similar to the teasers for the ill-fated Sonic The Hedgehog (also known as Sonic Next-Gen), you get a familiar feel of Sonics' recent Nintendo DS games, which have been quite successful, as the game is often viewed side on, a sort of 2D view of 3D, and demonstrates a full on running session through the majority of the level shown. At times the view switches to behind Sonic, and you continue to guide him, this view of the action reminiscent of Sonic Wildfire on the Nintendo Wii.Click here to read more. |

Sonic RPG revealed in Nintendo Power magazine! - The Tingler 1/12/08
Nintendo Power magazine has a big cover feature on Bioware's eagerly awaited Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS, which is now titled Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. There are 11 playable characters, with Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow and Big the Cat being the ones already known. Eggman/Robotnik will be in it, but not as the main villain (supposedly).
Bioware, if you don't already know, are the talented creators of Baldur's Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect amongst others, and are well known for never having made a game that was less than a classic - Sonic's in very capable hands with them.
For further details, visit N-Europe.com, who have more info from the mag and a link to scans in their forums.
