With SEGA’s latest upcoming release in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise on the Wii U, we are happy to officially announce plans to hold a special Sonic Lost World “First Play” livestreamed marathon to raise money for charity.

First of all, I haven’t forgotten about this. That’s more of a “crack my knuckles, pop my neck, sit down for a while” thing, while this is just some quick fun. That said, I came across this interesting video on YouTube, a promotional video which was apparently a free rental at Blockbuster Video back in […]

Sonic Generations has paved the way for a game long awaited by many fans. David OxfordDavid Oxford, or “LBD ‘Nytetrayn’,” as he is sometimes also known, is a freelance writer of many varied interests who resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Well, my time on 1UP is at an end, as 1UP itself is at an end. That should free me up a bit of time to try to post more here and on my other sites, though it’s also a blow to my bank account, which means some time needs to be spent looking for […]

Okay, so perhaps “fabulous” is in the eye of the beholder here. Still, I came across a few finds which made me quite happy down at the local used goods store last week (and I’m only now getting around to talking about them, but what can you do?). I’ll start with the second one first: […]

Much as I love Mario Kart, it’s not perfect, and I feel that SEGA’s Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has overall managed to surpass it as a more enjoyable, more competitive, and overall more skill-based experience. The sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is coming in November, and looks like it will have the unique […]

As mentioned at the end of my previous post, I really enjoy Mario Kart. More than anything, the characters, vehicles, and tracks tend to stand out for me. Here are some of my favorites. Characters: Mario Kart has seen a lot of characters over the years. I remember gravitating towards Yoshi in the first game, […]

Will I ever get a tribute up on time? Probably not on this site. Still, one day late (by a short margin) is better than never, I suppose. Today’s honor is the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Kart in North America (with Japan’s coming out only a few days prior). And this […]

Though I may not have said as much about it here, I’ve made no secret that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is one of my favorite games– period. And in the kart-racing arena, I honestly feel that SEGA and Sumo Digital have managed to craft a product which actually surpasses Mario Kart in many ways, […]

Have you had a chance to play OutRun Online Arcade? It’s possible that the window of opportunity to do so will soon be closed. Well, if you consider a year from now to be “soon.” By way of Joystiq, Eurogamer reported a couple of months ago that due to the expiration of their license with […]

First, I’d like to say that this isn’t a “proper” review. I got to spend some time with the game this weekend, enough for some impressions… vroom-vroom! How was that? Just kidding. Anyway… I’ve found that SEGA’s games have always had a very distinct look, feel, and sound about them. It’s as though there’s a […]

Following my little rant about Sonic Unleashed yesterday, my wife chose to have her say as well; she’s not pleased, either, and is a little less kind towards our blue friend than I. Read if you wish, and be warned that there’s a smidge of language, but I wanted to point out this part: I […]
