Preview: Sonic Colors (Nintendo Wii)

2010 marks yet another yearly effort by Sega to revitalize the Sonic franchise, and the company kicked things off last month with the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 4. November will see the debut of a new title called Sonic Colors, which looks to expand upon the type of gameplay we saw in the Sonic levels of Sonic Unleashed. To find out how things are coming along, spunky Sega-16 staffer Sebastian Sponsel (say that 3 times fast with a mouth full of marbles!) headed over to Sega Europe to give the Wii version a good hands-on. Read his full preview and see how the next step in hedgehog evolution is shaping up.

Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors

In 2006, Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors for Sega CD was finally leaked for public consumption. The much-hyped title only took eleven long years to arrive, having been shelved after publisher Absolute Entertainment went belly up. Despite never seeing a true retail release, it was completely finished (which is why we’re reviewing it) and so begs the question: is it any good? Well, there’s actually more to it than the (in)famous “Bus Ride” segment.
