It’s gone live! View it at the official site. I’m not going to say anything about it for fears of spoiling the story to you, but it’s different then what the preview got me to believe. I enjoyed the short a lot, though. Good job, Sega. I like your new animation studio. The movies are a blast to watch. (And whoever said the characters don’t talk was mislead. I heard a couple “woah” and “okay”. Totally counts as talking.)

I’ve finally finished putting together the archives for the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comic series. If you click on the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie) link on the left, you’ll be able to browse through all the different series/spin-offs/miniseries and check the cover and description out of the different comics. I’ve even included the first few pages of the more recent comics. The first looks, if you will. Browse through, relive memories, and become informed. Most of the info about the older stuff was taken from Sonic HQ, who sadly stopped updating near the beginning of this year. After sending off an e-mail, they were fine with the format. No angry e-mails from people saying I stole it!

On a more playable note, Sonic Unleashed came out today. While playing through my copy, I’ll be updating the page with info about the game. I’ll be playing the Wii version, so until any major differences between the versions come out, that will be what is written. In the meantime, I suggest you all go out and pick up the game now!

The Archie Sonic X Blog once again gives us the first look for issue #39 of the Sonic X series. You know what this means? Only one more issue of Sonic X left! In four weeks it will be over! Fortunatly Sonic Universe will take over then.

“Big Trouble in Little Station Square, Part Two”: Look out below! Vectorzilla is on a rampage – or is he? When a super-sized Bokkun shows up to save the day, things go from bad to worse! It’s up to Sonic and Espio to find the cure before G.U.N. steps in. It’s all the action and laughs you’ve come to expect from SONIC X, and then some!

Of course it is. Go and download the December 2008 Wallpaper now!

Just don’t use it until December 1st, because that would be some form of cheating or something.

It’s the Christmas month! Who could be wearing red and green while being blue and having some tan? The world may never know for a couple of days.

It looks like they got away from doing the sketches. One month too soon. Also this may be the first time there is a Christmas image for the main page and not just a bonus one.

Sega has sent out an e-mail informing us that you can get a $5 instant rebate and free shipping when you pre-order Sonic Unleashed from Amazon.com! When you get to the checkout screen, enter the code UNLEASH5 in the box labeled “Do you have a gift certificate or promotional claim code?”. This only works for Amazon.com and will not work at Amazon.co.uk or any other Amazons.

Ian Flynn, the writer of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, has posted the first two covers for Sonic Universe, the new series that is going to start sometime in 2009. It’s just the artwork with no logos or anything, so we’ll have to wait for more details on the date, pricing, and all the other good stuff.

You have issue #1 on the left and issue #2 on the right. Remember that issue #1 starts where Sonic X #40 leaves off. Keep watching for more info.

The Archie Sonic blog updated with a first look at Sonic #194. Rosy the Rascal sure is crazy! How creepy.

“Otherside, Part Two”: Sonic’s plan to find help on the mirror world of Moebius backfired and now he’s fighting for his life! Back home, the Suppression Squad has had enough – but are two teams enough to stop King Scourge? All this, plus you won’t believe who makes his big debut this month! Surprises abound in this issue!
