Windows Phone 7 Catches Up With Angry Birds, Sonic The Hedgehog

A whole heaping of classic Android/iPhone games will be dolloped into the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace come April 6th, including Angry Birds (yawn), Sonic the Hedgehog (good for a few more spins), Plants vs Zombies (another yawn), Doodle Jump (fun!) and a few others I can’t pass comment on, like geoDefense and Hydro Thuder Go. They’ve been suitably Xbox Live’d with achievements and leaderboards. [Xbox via TechRadar]

Having a real hedgehog in your pocket would be uncomfortable. Thankfully, the first episode of the long-awaited Sonic 4 is now available, letting you spin, dash and spin-dash your way across some heart-warmingly familiar levels.

I Want To Work At Sega For The Pranks

When Sega drone Aaron went out of town for a few weeks, his co-workers decided to prank him hard. Except “prank” at Sega apparently means “do him the awesome favour of turning his desk into a Sonic dreamworld”. Amazing.
