Sonic the Hedgehog celebrates his tenth birthday this year. On the 23rd June, Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast will be released worldwide to commemorate the fact.
Alan Turing was also born on this day in 1912. Thanks for computer science, Alan!

I suppose I could have waited till the actual date, but that way you'd miss out on all the build-up to the release of his new game. It looks great too... full of mini-games. And did you know our friend, Sonic, also gets a cameo role in PhantasyStarOnlinever.2. There you go!
Judging by the screenshots, it would seem that he is playable, since there's no other playable characters in the shot talking to him. Maybe in version 2, there's the possibility to create/download models from the internet?
There's a whole new enhanced system for designing your character. The look of a character can be modified during the game, unlike the first one where you were stuck with how you looked at the start. I think you can find costumes in chests just like weapons and armour etc. So maybe thats where you could find a Sonic "costume"..

Wow! Is he an NPC or a bonus character type though?
