Sonic the Hedgehog Message Board older than one year ago

#sonicthehedgehog He's blue. He's spiky. He's the fastest character in the video game universe, at least when he's running. This Thursday Sega releases Sonic Jump for iOS. More »

#sonicthehedgehog Sure, Sega's blue mascot has had a long run of comics of his own from Archie Comics. But his frenemy Knuckles saw action on his own, too, with exploits that unfurled an oddly touching interpretation of the animal-verse. A new collection of Knuckles comics hits stores next week. Here's a first look at the continued story of Sonic's rival. Official description follows: More »

#sonic This is a screenshot from Sonic Generations. It's difficult to tell whether it's an excess of optimism or just straight-up trolling. More »

#sega Sega ran some pretty awful commercials during the early 1990s, but that doesn't mean everything you saw on TV with the Sega logo on it was dreadful. More »

#theexpendables Duke Nukem is Sylvester Stallone. Kind of. More »

#sonic Promise, last one. We've had our fun. From R2-D2 (to his Skyrim-themed friend) to the Portal 2 multiplayer robots, we can only take so much of seeing cartoon or comic-relief characters going on a mass-murder rampage in Liberty City. For Sonic the Hedgehog—even if he looks like a little more like a blue Shadow the Hedgehog—we'll make an exception. More »

#sonicthehedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog's Green Hill Zone track is the pinnacle of upbeat, energetic video game music, enthusiastically propelling the player headlong into a fantastic adventure. Slow it down, however, and it's something straight out of an experimental horror film. More »

#megaman When the storyline that has Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man meet shows up in comics stores next year, Archie Comics is pulling off a feat that Sega and Capcom probably wouldn't be able to pull off. The man responsible for the ensuing hijinx is writer Ian Flynn, who already pens the adventures of both iconic characters in comics from Archie. Flynn answered some question over e-mail and vows not to re-visit one of the worst moments in Sonic history. More »

#megaman Can Mega Man jump higher than Sonic? Is Sega's blue hedgehogedgehog faster than Flash Man? We'll all find out next year, thanks to Archie Comics. More »

#sonicthehedgehog Amazon now is taking preorders for The History of Sonic the Hedgehog, a huge tome detailing every Sonic game, both 2D and 3D, with breakouts on spinoff games and Sonic's many cameo appearances in and crossovers to other video games. More »

#bestofmetacritic Welcome to "Backhanded Box Quotes," a collection of super pissed-off user reviews from people just like you! Whoa, whoa, don't take that personal. More »

#sonic Sonic just can't get enough attention from collectible statue creators First 4 Figurines. Though committed to other franchises, and even introducing a few of Sonic's friends in previous products, First 4 Figurines has covered Sonic, Metal Sonic and Super Sonic. More »

#supermario If Darth Vader and Captain Kirk ever meet, I hope they will not do so while ice-skating. When Optimus Prime finally crosses paths with Harry Potter, I trust they will not spend their first hour together bowling. More »

#worldofwarcraft Sometimes it's not the battle that really matters, but rather the events leading up to the battle. For instance, in 1monkeyfromhell's "The Winter of Tails", Sonic's sidekick is on the run because everyone he knows has been murdered in horrible ways. More »

#sonic A false alarm related to keylogging, which seemed like a pretty raw deal for a promising fan remake of classic platformer Sonic 2, turned out to be just the tip of a giant iceberg scientists have named "Drama". One that's now sunk the game. More »

There's a new development in that ancient rivalry between Mario and Sonic, Nintendo and SEGA. Okay, fine, so that war was won years ago - but it seems Nintendo was eying some of the talent behind the hedgehog's games all along...
