Sonic turns 18 tomorrow, Sega giving you all his presents

by Majed Athab

It's Sonic's birthday tomorrow. He's turning 18 and leaving the awkwardness of puberty behind to become an adult hedgehog. To celebrate this special time in every blue speed-demon's life, Sega is going to hold a bash and give away many Sonic-related gifts to all of his fans. On Tuesday, June 23 (that's tomorrow), keep your eyes glued to both @sonicgames on Twitter and Sonic on Facebook for a chance to win any one of the 15 prize packs up for grabs (see after the break for deets).

All prizes are available to win worldwide -- there's no silly regional restrictions it would seem (except for Quebec because you're too good for foreign goods*). The Sega Blognik has the full rules on how (and when) to enter the contests, so make sure you hit that up.

*Not an actual restriction

Hey, I didn't like that joke about Quebec. :/



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I used to be a sonic fan, but since sonic adventure on Dreamcast, there is not a sonic game worth playing. Sega should make a decent sonic game and... shenmue 3 ! Anyway, still love the blue one, but waiting for better times.

^Sonic Unleashed is very fun on the PS3 (I played it on the PS3, but its multiplat of course)... as is Sonic Rush on the DS... I suggest you pick these up...

I wish it was the anniversary of his death. I know alot of you feel the same.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Maybe he could be reborn like jesus?   Have a final send off and then come out of retirement and be awesome again.
