PC gaming has been hit by a Sonic Boom!
Today Sega announced the release of two Sonic games and additional content, all for the PC through digital download markets. The first title is Sonic CD. The port is based off of the recently released XBLA and PSN versions. If you buy the title on Steam, you'll also get Metal Sonic and Tails costumes for the multiplayer game Spiral Knights.
Chili Dogs. Dr. Robotnik. Spin Dash. Death Egg. All things forgotten in the history of Sonic, and all things that make their return in Sonic Generations.
Sonic Generations begins, aptly enough, with classic Sonic playing through a new stage based on the original first Sonic stage: Green Hill Zone. Sure enough, there are all sorts of enemies like Motobugs (lady bugs on wheels) and Choppers (piranha bots that bite at Sonic while he crosses a bridge.) Sonic runs through a two-dimensional plane through the entirety of the stage, and with just the press of a button (or the traditional down + the jump button) he can charge up a spin-dash and take off.
The original Genesis classic will be unlockable in the game.
Sonic Generations will have levels taken from various previous games in the series. Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone and Speed Highway are all represented in the new 20th Anniversary game. It was revealed today that players will be able to experience the original Green Hill Zone with Sonic Generations.
Eager fans can get a double dose of Sonic before sinking their teeth into the upcoming Generations.
Steam is well known for offering some pretty sweet deals and this latest may be hard for fans of the speedy blue hedgehog to pass up. Those that pre-purchase Sonic Generations will get copies of Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic 3 and Knuckles absolutely free.
