Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella
Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]
Is it possible? Sexy Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 – launch video and concept art
Sega‘s project “needlemouse” turns out to be Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Needle-mouse. Hmm. Perhaps the clue was in the name! The news seems to be generating quite a bit of buzz. Some of it is due to fondness for Sonic – ah; memories! I wonder whether we’ll see one or two more 2D platform games […]
