Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Courtesy of Sega and its Gamer’s Day, we have a set of new screenshots for you. Say what you will about the Weresonic idea and Sonic Team’s track record, there’s no denying that this title looks bloody beautiful, at the very least.

The Destructoid team likes to share the wealth, so instead of sitting on the endless shipments of consoles and games that come sandwiched inbetween the gaggles of Japanese models and high end actors that come in and out of our office on a daily basis, we find it does our hearts better to share it […]
