We've already recognized a whole bunch of the best game soundtracks of 2011. But of course, there are only so many hours in the day—only so much time to play games, and one can only write about so many game soundtracks.
The "Casino Night Pinball" minigame that console gamers got for preordering the game will be available to PC gamers via Steam on Dec. 26. It'll only run you $1.59 in the U.S. (Overseas, it's £0.99, €1.59, $2.99 in Australia).
Masato Nakamura says he composed the remix of Sonic the Hedgehog's Green Hill Zone theme the way he did the original: By imagining it as a film. The difference is he only had still photographs when he wrote the song 20 years ago. Now for source material has the advantage of full motion video—and, of course, one of…

One thing we need to own up to with all these video game icons coming up on 15, 20 and 25 year anniversaries is that we're getting older, too. Just yesterday, Crecente was talking about all the trouble he has peeing lately. Poor guy.

Sonic: Generations isn't swept up in the HD remake craze we're seeing with other franchises of a similar age. It's a different tour of its titular hedgehog's greatest moments, giving some classic 2D levels from the series a 3D interpretation, and vice versa. Fans have shouted for an end to the gimmicks, and for Sega to …

So, you've held on, 3DS owner. You've maintained ownership Nintendo's stereoscopic handheld despite a software portfolio that's been rough going. When will you be able to play a classic arcade ninja or a beloved, speedy hedgehog, you've cried?! One Japanese publisher has heard you and their answer is soon.

In case the classic Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay isn't classic enough for you in Sonic Generations, Sega's tucked an old school surprise in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of next week's hedgehog revival.
From Paris Games Week comes news that Sonic Generations will include the original Sonic the Hedgehog as an unlockable game, according to Destructoid. Takashi Iizuka of Sonic Team made the announcement. [Destructoid]

The third and final era represented in Sonic Generations is the modern era, represented here by the Crisis City, Rooftop Run, and Planet Wisp levels, and since there hasn't been a particularly compelling rival character in years, here comes Perfect Chaos.
