Has Hell frozen over? Oh wait, no, because Youtube isn't free of glitches yet. However, Sonic may finally finally FINALLY be working on the Sonic game that we've all been waiting for! Everyone knows that the Sega Genesis is the highlight of Sonic's legacy. It always will be! However, in addition to Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, and 3, we've got Sonic Spinball, Sonic Labyrinth, Mean Bean Machine, and all sorts of other shitty Sonic games from that time. I feel the need to point out, though, that Sonic CD came out between Sonic 2 & 3 and that also kicked ass. So, even though there were a few "uh-oh" games, it seems that the awesome ones had them outweighed! Sega made the Sega CD and the 32x as add-ons to the Genesis in order to keep the system relevant, but that didn't do too well, so the Sega Saturn came out. And...it sucked. Their last console was the Dreamcast, and we got Sonic Adventure, which kicked ass! I seriously love that game. It is a true classic to me. If you can see past the horrendous camera angles and the bugs in some levels, it truly is a magnificent game. Nobody likes playing Big the Cat's fishing stages, but it's so worth it getting to Super Sonic's stage! Sonic Adventure 2 was supposed to be Sonic Team's last game. For a long time, it truly was their last masterpiece. When Sega became third party developers, they started giving us shit like Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, etc. And oh God! Don't get me started on Secret Rings! What a cruel thing to do to Wii owners! Secret Rings was just a flat-out insult to gamers. I'll betcha anything that Superman 64 is way more enjoyable than Secret Rings! I still haven't played Superman 64, and it looks bad, but nothing can be worse than Secret Rings! Anyway, Sonic Unleashed came out and that was good. The challenge made you want to yank out your pubes, but isn't that what gaming's all about? I love challenge, but not impossible controls and game ending bugs. Sonic Unleashed provided the right kind of challenge.

So yea, enough about this history of Sonic business. Time to talk about Sonic the Hedgehog 4!!! We have all been waiting for something like this from Sonic Team. A nice, fast, sidescrolling platformer where you play as Sonic and you gotta make it to the end and beat Eggman. And did I mention it's fast? You do go at top speed like Sonic's supposed to. You just get rings, jump into enemies, all that shit. I would like to see Tails and Knuckles in this game. I wouldn't mind playing as Knuckles, either. I don't want dialogue. None whatsoever. I don't mind Sonic saying something when he jumps or gets hit, but for the love of Chrysler, no cut scenes and no storyline. This WILL appeal to oldschool gamers.

I'm excited about this, folks! I don't know if I'll type more about this or not, probably not, but we'll see.
