I've been wondering this for quite a while, but what happened to the pictures in the game index to the archive. Like several years back they just vanished. What happened?

There is a slight language warning, other than that watch watch watch.

You can check it out here: Sonic Merchandise. It's just Europe for now but they say an American release will be soon to follow.

It's becoming more and more obvious Tails will be playable in Sega's next installment to Sonic 4 but remains to be known is the scope of his play-ability. Will it be optional a la Sonic CD Rerelease/Sonic 2/S3&K?. I'm betting on optional. Sega has learned its lesson.

A new comics section is in the works and can be found here: sonichq.net/comics. It is still very much a work in progress but you can search through issues 1-189. Soon to come: All Sonic the Hedgehog comics, Sonic Universe, Sonic X, Specials and Knuckles. Please stay tuned!

I believe that SHQ, and MMHQ music and multimedia sections should be remastared. I have all MIDI tracks even for Mega Man X. I'm offering SHQ for my redevelopment services of this section, free, because I think it would complete the new site. I have plans to add new songs and maybe a video section for the new multimedia section.

If SHQ finds that this is will be good for the SHQ site, as I've been surfing this site since 1997, please email me: ChristianBaker88 AT ymail.com

The animation section has been "remastered"? for the newer layout and is just the first of this site's major overhaul. Comics is coming next so stay tuned!

We will now be rolling out a new feature for SHQ. A revamped fanart section! To begin using it, you will need to be a member. You will see an option in account settings to enable it. From there you will be able to upload your fanart! Please note it is still a beta and refinements/more features are coming.

So another demo of Sonic Generations was released yesterday for XBox 360. The PS3 version is slated to release on the 25th. The file is about 600 some MB but downloaded fairly quickly.

Upon entering the start menu you are treated with being able to play Green Hill Zone which is presumed to be the first level in Sonic Generations as both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic. The Classic Sonic iteration plays very similar to the demo released earlier but smoother and little to no frame rate stutters. The physics are what you'd expect and multiple paths galore. Modern Sonic plays extremely similar to Sonic Unleashed daytime. Defeating enemies and getting rings fills your boost meter which you can use to tear through sections and additional enemies. Ground stomping was also kept along with sliding under crevices. You can also rest assured the dreaded quick time events that plagued Sonic Unleashed will not be making an appearance.

All in all, this title is looking solid and I cannot wait for November 1st.
