Could all the bull finally come to an end?
Eight game publishers have asked a federal judge in Denver to dismiss a lawsuit brought against them by relatives of several victims in the Columbine High School shooting, the AP reported.
Lawyers for the companies said the suit should be dropped because it doesn't allege that any particular game led Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to go on the shooting spree that killed 12 students and a teacher. The companies also argue that video games are protected as free speech and that they cannot be held liable for someone's reaction to the games.
Companies named in the suit are Acclaim Entertainment, Activision, Capcom Entertainment, Eidos Interactive, Infogrames, Interplay Entertainment, Nintendo of America and Sony Computer Entertainment America.
More as it happens...

Even though the wait continues for the anticipated release of Sonic on DVD, many hope that it's Satam. Well, look alive Satam fans, cause every episode is on VCD!!! That's right, I found a site that had pics of the VCDs and I couldnt believe that there was a "Doomsday" cover. This is very exciting. The only thing is that they are from Thailand, so it might be dificult to order
While surfing around e-bay I ran into Sonic 100 orginal cover art signed by spaz, which is for sale. Starting price is 500 American dollars.

Archie has released the plot for Sonic 103, and it goes something like this, courtesy of Comics Continuum:
Written by Mike Gallagher, art by Jim Valentino, Dave Manak and Harvo.
"Freedom Fights of the Galaxy Part One." A tribute to the Guardians of the Galaxy brought to readers by the team that created them, writer Mike Gallagher and artist Jim Valentino. In an alternate future, Sonic comes back to Mobius after being in space for a thousand years to find the planet in worse shape than when he left it. Teaming up with the descendants of the original Freedom Fighters, the heroes combat an evil so great, they with the original Robotnik was back. Plus: The Return of Downunda Freedom Fighters, squaring off against the Bunyip in a tale recalling the early days of the Sonic comic series.
32 pages, $1.99, ships on Oct. 19.
No cover to accompany it, unfortunely. Story sounds intriguing, though. One always had to wonder what would happen with decendants of the originals.
But first, we wait for 100...

A popular sonic fan artist will be a penciller for the Archie Sonic comics. The person will definitely make the Sonic comic's art quality rise very much. But, the Artist's name has not been revealed to the public yet, so it's kind of a mystery. And on top of all that, you'll have to wait a while to see this mystery person's art, because the artwork will not be shown until Sonic #107. Cya till next time!
Gamespot has put up some new screenshots of Sonic Advance, and they're looking pretty nice. You can view them by clicking here.
Ever since the news headlines talked about Sonic the Hedgehog being released on DVD, Ive been so anxious for it, that I check Suncoast twice a week just see if they were in stock yet.

I was surfing around on ebay and I saw an interesting item:
SNES Sonic The Hedgehog 4 RARE Import!!!
At first I thought it might possible be Sonic Crackers because of the 'Sonic 4' title it was given, then I saw it said SNES. (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) I knew something was up, and sure enough when I checked the link, I was right. The item was a fake.
The item the loser is selling is actually a hacked Speedy Gonzalas (SP??) ROM made by someone when hacking was a big deal in the Sonic community. The ROM must have been put on some SNES cart, and the picture of the cart was pasted together with scenes of Sonic 3 and other games. All though so far, I've been unsuccessful in locating the ROM or the owner, but if anyone has it or knows who made the ROM, let us or ebay know so we can stop this scam. If it's one thing I hate, it's people taking advantage of Sonic fans. So if you see this item on ebay: 
DON'T BID ON IT! It's not real!
EB Games has Sonic Advance release date which is November 16th.
Hop on ridges, slide down rails and grab some rings...Sonic is back and he's as fast as ever! With a choice of 4 characters and link cable support for multiple players, this classic 2D platfomer takes full advantage of Nintendo's powerful new handheld.

Someone on the IGN boards has posted pics of the rumored hidden area accessible with 180 emblems. Words can not describe how sweet this is. ^_^ Click the link to see them.
Ok, they reviit a while ago, but Peppy just sent me this and I think I should post it. This is an EXTREMELY well-written review, definitely the best I've seen yet, and the author obviously paid attention to the details. He gives ewed SA2 a 9.4, BTW.
Supposedly, if you get all 180 emblems in SA2, a secret area opens up, loaded with cool extras. Also, according to this rumor, there IS a point to all the hidden Bigs in the game. This area sounds too good to be true, but after the other stuff that's been revealed about SA2, it wouldn't really surprise me too much if it was in there. If it is, then kudos to Sonic Team for putting something like this intro the game for the 10th anniversary. This is a mild spoiler, since you may want to be surprised by what you get when you get 180 emblems, so it's listed in a link.
Once again, this is a mild spoiler, and there are quite a few more pics than I'd want to post on the main news page anyway, so click the link to see them. We also have new details about HOW the hidden characters play and pics of some costumes available for download from Sega's SA2 page.
Not surprisingly, the SA2 Anniversary Pack is selling for a hefty price on Ebay. To be exact, up to $95.
Due to increasing schedule conflicts, the fact that I'm focusing on other content like the SA2 page, and increasing SA2 news, I've put in moderation features on the news pahge earlier than I planned to. So now you can post all the news you want, even wild rumors and just links to information on the net. Articles only show up once they've been edited. Note to staff: this includes articles you post too, so be sure to edit them.
The insane depth of SA2 keeps getting more impressive. This is sort of a spoiler, so if you want to know about them, read the full news item.
While this isn't news in the strictest sense, I thought this might be of interest to fans.
Clicking here, you can check out a history of Sonic the Hedgehog preapred by Gamespot. It may be of interest to fans, so check it out.
IGNPocket brings us some new Sonic Advance movies. Check them out by clicking here.
