Sonic Unleashed Wii screens finally shown

I’m still worried about the game, but not as much as before. […]

On this day 17 years ago, our favorite blue hedgehog was unleashed upon the world and helped change the course of video gaming forever. Sonic the Hedgehog was released in North America and Europe on June 23, 1991, but Japanese gamers had to wait until late July to get their hands on the game, heh […]

Sonic created with Spore Creature Creator

So gamers seem to be enjoying themselves with the recently released Spore Creature Creator, creating some pretty funny and disturbing abominations. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone decided to try their hand at creating Sonic, and lo and behold, I was right.
