I haven’t enjoyed a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast. In fact, I’ve actively hated pretty much every single one. So why do I still get my hopes up every time Sega decides to shit out a new Sonic game?

When I saw the leaked screens for Sonic Unleashed, I felt a familiar stir. And then I saw that Sonic will transform into a werewolf in this game. Yes, the hedgehog will turn into a werewolf. How do they even come up with this stuff?

My eyes rolling instinctively, I couldn’t help but wonder why this bothered me so much. I had no problem with Link getting all Teen Wolf in Twilight Princess, and one of my favorite games of all time has you playing as the wolf goddess of the sun. But a werehog? That’s just fuckin’ dumb.
