Sonic Colors! (Hooray?)

Despite Sega's past transgressions of where they announce a Sonic game, crap in a bag, and then neatly place it onto my doorstep, with a brightly coloured label displaying the words, "NEW SONIC GAME!", I find myself crawling back to them in hopes that one day, some how, they would end up giving me what I wanted. So far, from what we've seen of Sonic 4, they're getting close to it. But then out of the blue(heh, yeah you know you like that), yesterday was announced that they are making another new Sonic game: Sonic Colors. 

Watered Down

There was a video on the TV at my local Gamestop that gave me pause recently. I heard an edited brief of the following the Splinter Cell Conviction release trailer that details the intentional "accessibility" of the newest title. The video in full is just below.

Zeldathon!

I love charities. I love especially, charaties that are cool, and of course, involve video games. I like to see video games be involved in the world in good ways, instead of always smeared as they are, but that's a whole new article.

Anyway, Zeldathon!

Join Sam Wolfe, the dashing rogue, Will Alvarez, the troubled poet, Art Lansing, the bespectacled villain, Travis Johnson, the eccentric diplomat and Ethan Toolis, the giant with the heart of gold, as we play through all of the classics...

That's from the blog of a group of guys who are, right now, playing through all the Zelda games, in hopes that you will donate to them, and they, in turn, will donate the money gained through this, to Child's Play, a charity organaization developed by the creators of Penny Arcade.

Not only is this an awesome act of charity, it's apparently a school project as well. That's a great and commendable accomplishment, to try and make ones own charity and actually succeed in doing so. I encourage anyone reading this to stop on by and maybe help out a bit, if they can. You'll being helping out in more ways than one.
