Sonic the Hedgehod demo out on XBL.

Gamers can now sample a chunk of Sonic the Hedgehog’s next gen capers, as a 315 MB sized demo has hit the Live Marketplace as part of Microsoft’s ‘Bringing it Home’ campaign.

_Sonic The Hedgehog will be developed under the direction of Yuji Naka, award-winning developer known for creating the hugely successful SEGA franchise. With an innovative combination of art, physics and game design, SEGA and Mr Naka expect to create the most intense sensation of speed ever experienced in videogames. Sonic The Hedgehog for next-gen is expected to ship on multiple platforms in conjunction with the character’s 15th anniversary in 2006.

PR aside, I thought this game had a lot of potential from what I saw at E3 and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
