Sonic Generations release date

Tails of yore.

Sega has announced a 4th November release date for Sonic Generations.

This is the hybrid of vintage 2D side-scrolling Sonic and the more recent 3D offerings.

The story follows Sonic as he is sucked off back through time, reliving the series' history.

A demo is already available on PS3 and Xbox 360.

And if that's not enough, you can play Sonic Generations at the Eurogamer Expo 2011 this month. The show is frighteningly close, so tickets are selling like hot cakes - be quick!

We play Sonic Generations.
