Time Magazine's Techland section takes a look back at 20 years of Sonic the Hedgehog over a five-page article, listing games, allies, enemies, comics, and TV Shows, amongst other things.
Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog have continued their heated mascot rivalry well into the current generation of gaming. Who has come out on top in the era of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii?
"While there are a lot of bad sequels out there, we've decided to single out the top five we think are the worst. Just like every list, not everyone will be happy with our choices. 2K Sports fans will no doubt wonder why the list isn't compiled completely of EA Sports' Madden releases which rarely improve. Fans of series we’ve chosen will certainly get mad like they always do. However we’re sure that many gamers will agree that the list that follows is pretty accurate."
ArchangelUK of blogs.sega.com has spoken out for the younger fans, telling the older fans that there is no need for elitism. The idea of old/true fans vs. young/stupid fans has been an ongoing issue for a long time. Each time Sega releases another Sonic game, many people jump in to make sure their voice is heard. Read on to find out while all fans should rejoice, rather than undertaking pointless feuds.
Sonic's decline into a miserable territory since after Sonic Adventure 2 is, simply put, pathetic. Those who were fans were ready to convert into the 3D gameplay since then but along came Sonic Heroes.
And Shadow the Hedgehog. And Sonic 2006. And Sonic Unleashed. And the Wii games. Failure all around. It's become so bad that an amusing image was made to reveal the truth about the time a new Sonic game is announced all the way until release, known as the Sonic Cycle (conveniently atta...
Sonic and the Black Knight is the latest offering by Sega for the Wii starring the blue hedgehog. Does Sonic regain some of his old lustre in this medieval tale? The answer appears sadly to be no. Apart from some nice visuals and decent voice work the game falls flat on its face, suffering horrible dialogue, bad camera, poor controls and many other mishaps, Gamer Limit Review giving this title just a measly 3 out of 10.
This week I give 368 out of 52 GameGreps multiplied by ∞ divided by P(R)!
PC gamers can get their hands on Empire: Total War and/or 2K Sports' latest game in the baseball field (as can just about everyone else for the latter), PS3 owners see Tom Clancy's HAWX, Xbox 360 welcomes Halo Wars, and Phantasy Star Portable arrives on Sony's handheld.
A blog from safetys-off.com detailing five video game series which have run their due course and should now "die". Some are currently very popular and others not, so head on over to read about why.
In this latest blog from our own Neoseeker/GameGrep user Tainted, we get a brief overview of what SEGA has been up to in the publishing and development ring lately, coupled with the suggestion they are "doing something right...finally".
Between Sonic & The Black Knight, The House of the Dead: Overkill, MadWorld, The Conduit, and more, do you think SEGA is on a better road?
"I am sure that everybody, at some point in their lives, has been playing a videogame and suddenly found themselves questioning the sexual preferences of the characters involved. Ultimately, one finds one's self asking the final and most pressing question of all -- is that character a dom or a sub?"
"Sonic and the Black Knight offers a major twist on Sega's mascot series, placing Sonic and friends in the world of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Sonic, having been summoned to this new world in order to thwart the plans of King Arthur, adventures as an apprentice knight. The game combines the high speed action for which the series is known with new "sword actions," which make use of Sonic's new sword both for attacking foes and for navigating the world."

The very first trailer for Sonic & The Black Knight is here for viewing, featuring..Sonic..and a black knight.
The game is the next entry in the Storybook series, serving as a sequel of sorts to Sonic and the Secret Rings. It takes place in an Arthurian universe, and is Wii exclusive. Look it for next Spring if you're in Europe, or summer if you're in North America.

A blogger Don Reisinger has typed up an article on the Sega mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. Their claim is simple, Sonic is dying out and is no longer able to meet expectations, or match the older games.
Their evidence includes poll statistics, competition from other companies and mascots, the hype is now gone for new releases as the original players are getting older and that it lacks the appeal of current day games: sex and killing.
Is this really goodbye Sonic?
Some of you may remember a month ago, when an article in the magazine Nintendo Power sprang up, with many people speculating that the same would be Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Wii.
Well, the magazine was just released and I can tell you know, its not Kingdom Hearts 3.
Will Sonic, with swords, do instead ? Sonic and the Black Knight.
