No sooner had Dimps accomplished the very nice Sonic Advance for the GBA, that Sonic Team announce that a sequel was in the works, and is nearly ready for release. This must have meant that Sonic Team has been working on this game for some considerable time if this’ll be released by Christmas, which is what the development company are indeed promising.

I now realise this month the importance of having a News Broadcaster on my site. No-one seemed to care when the ‘Stadium had just started, but now that we’ve been offered Zifei’s hosting based on our ‘best site ever’ vision, a News section seems like a pretty integral thing. I needed only one man for the job – Sonic_Hedgehogs. He had quit the site, but I could invite him back.

Oh my god. Sonic_Hedgehogs has left me in the dwang to fend this website all by myself. Erm… cheers for that S_H. Yep, S_H quit the website for good it seems, and left it all to me. Which is nice. Why? Because of the lack of sleep he had when updating the SSNG website for the short period it had been open. Plus, the action in the last 2 months haven’t helped.

SAGE 2002 saw the debut of a triple threat from Gameplay Studio – a development outfit formed by Matt the Yak. The first of the bunch, called Beyond Sonic, naturally does not include Sonic as a playable character in the demo. Makes total sense. Yep. Continue reading SAGE 2002 Preview: Beyond Sonic

A cool effort by Gamersmix – a game in which you are completely… small? Well, that’s saying something. … Actually, well… no I guess it’s not. This game featured in February 2002’s SAGExpo, and was nearly complete at the time, so we decided to give it a spin. Let’s take a look. Continue reading SAGE 2002 Preview: Badnik Hunt 2

This game has been getting quite a reputation for itself in the States. Sure, it may only be an upped version of Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast, but what really excited everyone was the fact that Sonic was appearing on a Nintendo home console… for the first time! Practically every Sonic fan in the universe has been desperate to play this title since then – even though it is just a DC port. Amazing, huh? But despite this, all the US video games mags (and even some UK Import mags), are ripping on it.

My last entry in the Sonic Stadium logbook – I’ll be making notes in SSNG’s History Pages, with Sonic_Hedgehogs now. While making pages, a strange sensation suddenly came over me – I realised how cool this would turn out to be! I thought of all the advantages, and there weren’t many disadvantages: S_H was as cool to work with as… someone immensely cool.

Woah, everything was going on this month. After trying to figure out a ‘new’ look to incorporate into The Sonic Stadium (once more…), I had been visiting my friend’s MB’s and websites, in particular Sonic News (No, I wasn’t nicking off with anything… that time ^_-). At least, I tried to get into Sonic News, but for the third month running Angelfire had managed to lock visitors out of the site.
