SONIC 4 SOUNDTRACK HAS “LEAKED”

We don’t believe anything actually “leaks” these days, apart from our [GRAPHIC MEDICAL REFERENCE DELETED], but blue-themed blog Sonic Stadium is currently linking to the entire soundtrack of Sonic 4 – which has, apparently, leaked.

The music files are on the internet here, if you’ve got nothing better to do than listen to Sonic music for the next 20 minutes while Googling “Train2Game” to see if anyone else has slagged them off today [NO THAT’S PROBABLY JUST ME].

Here’s a slightly related bonus piece from the THE GREATEST SONIC THE HEDGEHOG DESKTOP IMAGES IN THE WORLD series to illustrate this glorious update. We could’ve just used a screen capture of the sites in question, but went the extra mile.

EMERGENCY WEEKEND UPDATE: TWIN-SEATER DAYTONA USA ARCADE MACHINE FOR £750

REASON FOR SALE: “My reason for sale is that I don’t use it much nowadays to be honest, and the space it takes up in my garage would be better used in other ways now. I never thought I’d sell it which is why I spent so much money and so many hours making it this nice, but things change”

That is not a good enough reason. How can you have one, then let it go? What’s better to do in a garage than play Daytona USA for free? The only thing we can think of is starting up your own methamphetamine factory.

There are still three days to go on the auction. We expect an email and photographic report from the eventual buyer.

COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR ONE FINAL LOOP-THE-LOOP

Can’t help it. This DOES look good. Doesn’t it? Surely we’re detached enough from SEGA these days to be able to judge things objectively?

Some words here and the rest of the shots here. We’re not risking exclamation marks until we play the thing, though. We’re still mentally fragile and can’t risk getting hurt again.

GAMECRUSH IN ‘BLIND DATE’ TRIBUTE

By “low signal” we think she might mean a limp penis, and by “weak batteries” we think she might also mean a limp penis.

gamecrush-weak-batteries

Taken from the profile of “SexyNative” over on bizarre “gaming dating” site GameCrush. We assume she’s attempting to associate penile penetration with video gaming there, ie, she might be available for paid sex once you’ve beaten her 20-0 in Halo 3 and got your confidence up.

SEGA TOTAL SOLUTIONS HAS A SALE ON

Wouldn’t mind one of those basketballs for a birthday, if you’re reading this in your riverside apartment MR NICE SUGAR DADDY.

sega-total-solutions-special-offers

And a hammer, although it looks like you’d struggle to inflict any meaningful damage with that. You’d probably have to hold the hammer’s head and use the shaft as a poking weapon and then strangle them with the cord. Offer ends 31 March, so get in there quick.

SIZES FROM 3 YEARS – 12 YEARS

Bollocks :(

sonic t-shirt next

From Next, here. Imagine how great it would be to be between 3-12 years again and not be burdened with the need to always say something ironic in a caption beneath every photograph.

The slippers appear surprisingly comfortable and well crafted.

EIGHT NEW SONIC 4 SCREENSHOTS ARRIVE

They’re embedded on the Sonic 4 site, so here’s a screen capture of just the one. It’s too late in the day to go writing captions for eight screenshots taken within 30 seconds of each other in the same level – ARE WE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO WRITE CAPTIONS FOR A LIVING?

Turn your speakers off if you’re going to click on that link. It’s a noisy bloody site. People will think you’re playing games instead of merely looking at them – an important distinction in many industrial tribunals.

GAME REVIEW: PRESS X TO JASON

Here’s one of those updates where it’s, what… 12.04pm? And we haven’t got anything else to do today so it’s EMAIL INBOX LUCKY DIP time.

The winner of EMAIL INBOX LUCKY DIP for today is game maker “Thor” who has made this odd little online game based around PlayStation3 “groundbreaking” “interactive movie” Heavy Rain. Or so he says. We cannot verify that fact for obvious reasons.

It’s called Press X to Jason.

press-x-to-jason-1

Would anyone like to collaborate on making a game called “Imagine: Blogger”? We have already scripted out most of the cut-scenes.

press-x-to-jason-2

In the game, you press ‘X’ to ask people if they are Jason. This quickly becomes monotonous and the replayability score is therefore 4/10. The graphics are mostly 2D and therefore it only gets 2/10 for visualability. Soundplay is 3/10.

As ever, the online scoreboard is riddled with cheats.

PLAYSTATION MOVE PHOTOGRAPHY – DISAPPOINTING

Hopefully this is just the stylish Japanese PlayStation Move photography, and Sony Europe is, at this very moment, renting a recently modernised converted riverside loft-style apartment and thumbing through brochures of models for the EMEA LIFESTYLE shoot.

Nice disclaimer. Big, readable text. Wouldn’t want to go issuing press shots that turn out to be COMPLETE LIES again, eh?

playstation-move-photos 3

Of course, you can also play it while sitting down, occasionally flicking your wrist with disinterest.

playstation-move-photos 4

That looks like fun. It’s like waving your arms about. Whenever we start to feel a bit bored, there’s nothing we like more than standing up and flailing our arms about for 20 minutes.

PLAN: Knuckle down and ignore all games for the next five years.
