Sega sends word that its mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, was honored at the inaugural 'Walk of Game' ceremony at the Metreon. It'd be interesting if Sega had more details as to exactly what honor they received, although it's probably safe to say that they received a star of some sorts. Congrats to the folks at Sega, hopefully this will reignite their passion and motivate them to make great games again.In other Sega news, the company revealed that it has been working on Shadow the Hedgehog for the PS2 and GameCube. Footage was shown at the WoG event and it was said to be similar to what we've seen in the previous Sonic Adventure titles. Let's hope that the designers can beef up the graphics, the franchise is in serious need for a makeover.
