A very nice read in store for you. SEGA have revealed some very interesting bits of information concerning the PSP title, Sonic rivals. They include some concept art, a insight into the storyline of the game and some fascinating looks into the characters that star in this amazing looking game.

The information points to the nefarious Dr Eggman being behind this deed but nothing more has been confirmed.
