"Sega today reavealed a dozen images of Shadow the Hedgehog, a action/platform title featuring the mysterious Shadow, tormented by his dark past. Only by collecting the Chaos Emeralds will he be able to discover his true identity. To accompany Shadow in his search, you'll be able to choose among Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Dr. Robotnik, who will all be playable, you will also have a huge arsenal at your disposal, including various vehicles. Shadow will also have the ability to control time, so you will be able to constantly go back in time and cancel some of your actions which will have direct consequences in Shadow's future. Shadow the Hedgehog awaiting a November release on Xbox, GameCube and Playstation 2."
 
I don't know why, but that PR is cracking me up. Maybe it's just late, but the sheer ammount of inane content already present, added upon, and the article ending with the "oh, and you can control time!" spiel did me in.

Seriously, an evil looking Sonic the Hedgehog spinoff with slick handgun skills, the ability to drive a car AND able to control fucking time is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I must play this.
 
Urgh, WHY can't the resist the urge to throw in multiple playable characters, instead of just refining the play of one? That was a selling point for some people for this title, a chance to play a next-gen Sonic game designed specifically around speed-based gameplay.

You think there's any way Eggman's going to play through levels the same as Shadow? Not unless he's got body armor and boosters we don't know about.
