Focus on "Sonic Generations" and the Sonic the Hedgehog Series.

It's hard to believe it's been TWENTY YEARS since Sega introduced Sonic the Hedgehog andhis fast-paced action to the video game audience of the 1990s and began a long-running rivalry with a plumber named Mario (though now they're best friends via racing, brawling, and sports). Sega decided to celebrate those twenty great years by teaming up the Sonic of my years (the shorter-legged Genesis version) with the Sonic of today (the one you see in Sonic 4 and in Smash Bros. Brawl).

In Sonic generations, both generations of Sonic the Hedgehog will team up and run themselves through rebuilt HD versions of old classic levels and modern

Brink has been in and out of the media for quite some time. I don't think people really know what to make of it. The developers' diary reveals a game that wants to be a little bit of everything. Splash Damage refers to it as a genre bending title and I can see why. Brink has a little bit of Mirror's Edge, it has some Team Fortress 2, and it definitely has some SOCOM elements to it as well. The developers say it breaks apart the barrier between a single player game and a multiplayer one, but what does that mean exactly?

Hyperbole aside. Brink appears to be a squad based shooter with a cool and unique art style that's almost a love child between Borderlands and Team Fortress 2. I like it, I dig the way it looks, but with the new Call of Duty map pack, will we have time to get invested? Brink definitely offers more complexity then what you find in other FPSes. It's a class based shooter that can become dangerously addictive. Everything you play under

Not Your Average Star Wars Themed Bed

Nothing ever sounds better to me than a nap! I am a nap queen! And Kayla Kromer is known for being the maker of the famous Hamburger Bed.

But now she is back with a new creation, the Millennium Falcon Bed.

Nintendo confirms that the Wii's successor will be arriving in 2012.

Nintendo has recently confirmed the release of the successor to the Wii. While no name has been announced for it yet, they are planning to reveal it at this year's E3 convention. They did release information that the new console will go on sale in 2012.

While the sales of this new Nintendo console hasn't been included in Nintendo's forecasts (that go up till March 2012), it is believed we won't see it until something Spring 2012 or after.

This may not necessarily be the avenue to find readers who are also Britney Spears fans, but I have to say, I am very happy with her newest release, Femme Fatale. As a person who tries her best to get as much music for free through varying methods, like soliciting all of my friends to burn me CDs and scoping LiveJournal communities for posts, or just plain listening to them off of YouTube, (and no, I dont use illegal methods like KaZaa or Limewire – in fact, Im so outdated on those that the only ones I can reference are KaZaa and Limewire….Napster, anyone?), its amazing that I actually pulled out my credit card yesterday and purchased the entire album. It made me think that in todays day and age where free music is so accessible, it really puts the pressure on artists to release actual quality albums, and not just one with three great singles and nothing more.

Gamer News: DS in March outsold the 3DS.

Found here on Kotaku, the Nintendo DS outsold the Nintendo 3DS in the month of March. Sure, the DS had all of the MONTH of March to sell its units and the 3DS did have a smaller set of time to sell. The Nintendo DS sold at 460,000 units while the 3DS sold 400,000 units.

When it was released back in 2004, the DS sold sold 500,000 units in its first seven days here in the US, while the 3DS sold around 400,000 during its US launch. Smaller, yet most likely contributing to that number of

Nintendo's 3DS units in Japan, only about half have been sold.

According to this article (if you can read Japanese), when the 3DS was released, Nintendo claimed that 1.5 million of the 4 million handhelds were heading to Japan by the end of March. According to Japanese sales trackers like Media Create, there are a ton of unsold units in Japan. The sales trackerreports that only 836,000 3DS units have been sold, meaning Nintendo hasn't hit the one million mark in Japan. About 664,000 units from

Microsoft's XBOX 360 Controllers helping the Fukushima Nuclear Plant recovery effort.

Japan's getting help from all over the world, especially in the relief effort of the troubling Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. They're even getting help from Microsoft in a nearly a way aside from the donated technology from all over the world. With the Japanese government working around the clock to cool the nuclear cores and contain the problem, outside sources are lending a hand, like QinetiQ, a company from here in the United States that build robotics

Fighting Game Developers lend Moral Support to Japan

As you know, last week we reported that video game companies are lending their support in the relief effort in Japan. Well just recently, Capcom is lending more of their support (morally) by providing some wallpapers to remind people to lend a hand.

Seen and read here (if you can read Japanese), the developers of Capcom issued this statement:

On March 11th, we felt great sympathy for those effected by the Earthquake here in Japan.
