Actually in the middle of Sonic The Hedgehog for 360 (aka Sonic Adventure 3, from what I've played of it). It's ok... about the same as the last few but with a worse camera. I'unno who they expect to play these, though... kids, ostensibly, since all the old-school fans except me seem to have moved on, but the aggravating repetition and ridiculous load times would send any child I know into fits. It's weird... a lotta the same annoying stuff from the original games is in there (spike balls outta nowhere, enemies that "hit" you when you're not quite touching them, blind superspeed jumps that toss you into oblivion), but back in the Genesis days it was forgiveable. Makes me wonder if it's someone's idea of a sick joke of an homage, keep everything about Sonic that ever pissed anyone off but add a camera you can barely control. I like that they're still trying new things, though... Silver's kinda fun, haven't played as Shadow yet. Just wish you could aim Silver's TK throw a LOT better....
Picked up Sonic Unleashed, too, since they were cheap. No idea when I'll get around to it.
