Greetings, programs!
Twenty-eight years is a long time to wait for a sequel, but the follow-up film to the iconic Tron is almost upon us.

Two player 2D action on the way
Wii's Sonic Colours (or Sonic Colors if you're of that persuasion) is set to feature a multiplayer game where two hedgehog fans can team up to overcome specially-designed levels. But why do the characters have antennae on their heads? They're part of Dr Eggman's Sonic Simulator, of course.

Shot in LA, features exercise
You could normally play bingo with developer behind-the-scenes videos: toys on programmers' desks, kitschy movie posters, phrases like "the most advanced game of its type". So it's very refreshing to see the first Making Of video for Get Fit with Mel B throw all that stuff out of the window and show an Italian camera crew filming an ex-popstar from Yorkshire doing abdominal crunches in a Los Angeles apartment. Life is sweet.

After 15 years, 16-bit is back
The drums are perfect. That's the second thing you notice about Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, right after Sonic runs past the Sega logo to the classic 16-bit "Say-gah!" sample. Anyone who's ever played a Sonic game will start to smile: it's off to a perfect start.

Review: Disney Sheds Blue Light on TRON: Evolution’s Move Features
10:30 at movemodo.com
Lightcycles and teasing
TRON: Evolution is, in Disney's eyes, the official follow-up to the original Tron, so it's putting a lot into getting its combination of racing and combat just right, including PlayStation Move support. Unfortunately details on how the controller will be used have been thin on the ground, but a recent preview event shed just a little light on how Move will work.Items of Interest
