Sonic The Hedgehog Blasts You Into The Past On iPod

Sega announced the release of Sonic The Hedgehog for iPod today. ArsTechnica says that this implementation of Sonic isn't bad, either. You can use the traditional Sonic music in the background, or your own iPod music if you prefer (for posterity's sake, I'd stick with the original). You can jump with the center button and apparently the scroll wheel just isn't as annoying as it is on, say, Solitaire.

Only reason I would get a PS3 for! Oh may be one of the few other reasons

Fighting game "Tekken 6" will go on sale later this year as the first arcade game using Sony's PlayStation 3 technology, game developer Namco Bandai Games Inc. announced Monday.

"Tekken 6" will be available for amusement parks and other game arcade facilities worldwide, but the company has not decided on the exact launch date for that game or others that will follow, using Sony's latest game technology, Namco Bandai spokeswoman Miki Baba said.

Tokyo-based Namco Bandai, Japan's second largest toy and game business group and maker of the "Ridge Racer" and "Pac Man" games, has previously used the predecessor PlayStation 2 technology to develop arcade versions of games, Baba said.

Namco Bandai has sold its PS2 arcade technology to other makers, but it is still undecided about whether to sell its PS3 cell-based technology, Baba said.

The PlayStation 3 went on sale in the U.S. and Japan late last year and in March in Europe.

Technology for PlayStation 3 includes a new computer chip called "Cell," which Sony Corp. developed with IBM Corp. and Toshiba Corp. and will be used in new gadgets for the home as well as video game products. (AP)
