The 18 minute fan film directed by Eddie Lebron is marketed as a concept piece to prove a Sonic film is achievable. It also features Jaleel White voicing Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time since Sonic Underground in 2000. Check it out below:
Edge have run an interesting feature discussing the critical reaction to Yakuza 5 which was released in Japan on December 6th 2012:
“A massive game then, full of quirky and unique content, with a compelling tale tying it all together. As the current generation of consoles finally seems to be coming to its close, it’s a shame that even with such glowing praise in its native Japan, there haven’t been any plans announced to release in the west what what could be one of PS3′s last major Japanese exclusives. “In terms of volume and quality of content, this is the high point in the Yakuza series. A definite ‘buy’,” says Impress Watch. Would that we could.”
The Sonic fan film being directed by Eddie Lebron hit a snag during its’ 9th of January release. We contacted Eddie Lebron personally to find out what happened:
“It was a tecnnical issue on our end that prevented us from exporting the film. The film should now go live at 6pm EST if not earlier :)”

Spiral Knights, the PC exclusive MMO from Three Rings is to receive an update this Spring which adds partner characters called Battle Sprites to the game.
Here’s some more detail from the SEGA Blog:
“E-Class Battle Sprites are companions: think along the lines of a robotic pet who will follow you around, only if your pet could also shoot fire or improve your ability to withstand onslaughts of lasers. The Battle Sprites will evolve, level-up, and gain new skills: they can add additional firepower to your party, or help by buffing you against enemy fire.”
There is no hard release date other than “Spring” at this time. More info as we get it.
