IGN has just revealed a brand new trailer for Sonic 4, showing off Lost Labyrinth in it’s decaying mine cart filled, ball rolling, water sliding, glory.

Looking very nice and snazzy, more from IGN on Lost Labyrinth including all important information on the level boss fight can be found here.

For the last few months there has been one part of the site that has been rather neglected, the game archive page was just a list of Sonic games that have come out over the years, that is until today.

Today I’d like to announce the addition of Sonic Colours to the Games archive page, the first of what I hope to be many such pages once I’ve finished refining the layout a bit more. I am however not just stopping there, I’ve also added a Sonic Colours section to the official artwork page and created a screenshots section where you can now find screens from both the DS and Wii version of the game.

Not only this but I’ve created a little widget for Sonic Colours as a kind of quick nav to all the relevant sections for the game, to much there now but I am planing on adding more soon.

So to summarise, game section now open, new official artwork, new screenshots, and funky new widget thing, overall not too bad as a product of the bank holiday weekend.

It’s been a very busy day in the world of Sonic so rather than spamming up my twitter account with post after post I thought I’d amalgamate all that’s been going on into one big post.

First off, Sonic Free Riders has got some box art, and a price, $49.99, a little cheaper than a normal 360 game. Still no release date for it though, making me think it’s not going to be avaliable at launch.

Next we have the announcement that Sonic Adventure will be hitting Xbox live on the 15th of September, that’s two weeks from today folks, I have to say I’m really looking forward to this despite the Big levels, it’s certainly going to be holding site updates the back end of this month.

To finish off we have a bit of sad news, Ben Hurst a writer on the SatAM and Sonic Underground cartoon series passed away a few weeks ago due to complications with diabetes. After writing for Sonic Underground he also helped out the community, appearing at the Sonic Amateur Games Expo in 2005 and 2006. A statement from a good friend of Ben can be found here.

Another Just in Time comic ready to run on time, my punctuality is getting annoying, not to worry I’m sure I can fix that in the coming weeks, especially with the plan I have… yes I have a plan now!

The trudge towards completing the Sonic X Archie comics continues, with 21-30 added I’m three quarters done and then I can forget about them ever happening.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to take a shower I feel unclean.

A new guest comic for you guys, all the way from the SSMB. For those of you that don’t know, Sonic The Comic which was released in the UK didn’t start off with just Sonic based comic strips, Decap Attack, Streets of Rage, Sparkster and, more importantly for this comic, Wonder Boy all had comc strips within the comic.
