So much to talk about! Every subject must be attacked with the ferocity of a starving wolf in a chicken hatchery! SimCity? ATTACKED! Sexism in videogames? ATTACKED! Heaps of new games? WE’RE ALL OVER IT! SimCity? ATTACKED A SECOND TIME! …AND PERHAPS A THIRD!

Also we’ve got even more motion tech vying for our attention with the MYO, EA says the darndest things, a game called SABBAT, the OUYA is very close and even more words that should be acronyms but on the whole aren’t.

“SweetJesuslookatthatwhalethatlooksawesome!”
That – or something along those unpunctuated lines, anyway – was the thought that ran through my head the first time I saw Sonic Adventure in action.
I was about 18 years old, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed university student with a smile on my lips and a song in my heart, years before I became the angry, whiskey-soaked misanthrope I am today. I was in Another World (a shop that sold video games, comic books and other cool stuff), and they had a then-brand-new Sega Dreamcast on display, the console hooked up to a TV monitor showing a Sonic Adventure gameplay demo on a loop.
The demo in question showcased the game’s opening level, Emerald Coast, the highlight being the now-famous sequence where Sonic sprints along a wooden bridge, closely pursued by a killer whale leaping through the water and smashing the bridge behind him. It was a brief sequence but also a thrilling and visually spectacular one that helped launch the blue hedgehog onto a new console generation in style. I bought a Dreamcast soon afterwards. (And later sold it to pay the rent, but that’s another story).
