The 360 version of Sonic the Hedgehog was the most heartbreaking game we played all last year, and possibly for a few years before that too. And unfortunately, this PS3 version is exactly the same in all the wrong ways. Sonic the Hedgehog is coming dangerously close to being the video-game equivalent of Spinal Tap - a former icon blissfully unaware that he's so out of touch, so far fallen from grace, that he's become a laughing stock. With his next-gen debut, the blue blazer has literally ...

Thursday 11 May 2006 The last few Sonic games have veered completely off course - they pack in too many characters to play, none of which are a great deal of fun. This new title trims back the exploration and large cast for a simple, fast-paced race through intricately detailed environments. Well, unless you're playing as Silver the Hedgehog. The E3 demo offered a burning-city level showcasing this new, telekinetic powerhouse. Silver lacks Sonic's super speed, but by pressing R1, he emits a ...   » Read Full Sonic the Hedgehog preview

Today, the Sonic franchise is mostly known for it various animated series and relatively mediocre video games. Just look at the past two spinoff titles - Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Riders were both broken games that only the hardcore fans could dig. That's why Sega's totally rebooting the franchise, billing the aptly named Sonic the Hedgehog as a return to the vision-blurring speed of the classic platforming games. Forget Knuckles, Tails and all the other characters that have bogged down ...   » Read Full Sonic the Hedgehog preview
