Sonic and SEGA Allstars Racing is the game a lot of Sonic fans have been waiting a long time for, over the years we’ve had Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic R, Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity.

Okay, it didn’t take as long as I thought to 1000 point Sonic and SEGA Allstars racing, so I’m back to work on Emerald Coast and where better to start than with a bit of Sunday afternoon entertainment!

Today I’ve found a nice little animation by Thweatted (Deviant art account), featuring Sonic and Knuckles and the lyrics ‘Itch U Can’t Scratch’ by Junior Senior, now whilst I’m not the biggest fan of the music the animation is brilliant and well worth a watch.

Perhaps a passion I don’t indulge in as much as I should but if I did then I’d have no time to keep track of the goings on in the world of Sonic (it’s a full time job… on top of a full time job).

As you should have noticed by now, I go the opportunity to have a go on the new Sonic Spinball ride at Alton Towers over the weekend and so what follows are a few of my thoughts on the ride. (continue reading…)
