Bioware will try to give back its prestige to the famous blue hedgehog by creating him an exclusive role-playing game for the Nintendo DS - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Here are the first images of what looks like the first true good game of this hero and his friends in ages.

So, I think it looks great so far....
Sonic rules (the original two or three sonics and sonic adventure) and this game is looking mighty handsome.
Mass Effect PC
Mass Effect 2 PC / X360
Unknown MMORPG
Unknown next-gen game
So I don't see the problem. It's not like all their ressources are put into that project. I'm glad to see them handle a different type of game.
They're working on Dragon Age, for PC only so far, right?

Imo there hasn't been any GOOD sonic games since Sonic 3 basically. Sonic Advance 1 & 2 were alright i guess but other than those Sonic has just been abused for the last 12 years. But that's just my opinion.
I'd be much more inclined to like this if it wasn't Sonic i think.

The main reason Sonic has been less than good is because Sega have lost their edge, this isn't a Sega game so it could turn out pretty damn good, It's nice to see Bioware trying something different.

They're also working on Jade Empire 2.
Sonic Adventure 1 had all the usual charm and decent enough gameplay, Adventure 2 had great gameplay but lacked charm.. and everything else inbetween now and then is basically rubbish.
That's my take on it. :)
I'm prolly too big a Sonic fan for my own good but I do reckon I have a semi-adequate perspective on things despite that fact, and saying Sonic's sucked since the Megadrive days I think is more about people being nostalgic and not having given the games a proper chance than the statement being true.
Regardless of all that I think this looks brilliant. Not just for being Sonic but for having some really amazing art in general. Watercolour backgrounds for the absolute win, and since when do BioWare really screw things up? Although thematically some stuff isn't always to everyone's liking (I know Mass Effect got too stuffy for me personally) they're pretty hardcore developers and know what makes a good game tick.
