AAUK pointed this out over at the SEGA of Europe Blog this morning. Turns out that we’re not the only ones eyeing Sonic Unleashed this year, as it has been selected as a nominee for the One to Watch award in the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards.
Probably the internet’s worst kept secret, Sonic Unleashed was finally revealed this year to tears of sheer joy from the spiky one’s legion of fans. Built on the new Hedgehog engine, Sonic will unleash smooth 3D to 2D gameplay and multiple paths through dynamic, fantastic worlds of sheer Sonic delight.
Winners will be announced in October (probably less than a month before we see Unleashed hit store shelves). You can get to voting for this award among many others over at GoldenJoystick.com.
UNRELATED: Hey folks, I’m seeing some new scans flying around on the web. Here’s a hunt for you. If any of you can send us scans from the new PS2 Mag in the UK, we may just send you something from our giveaway
Also, if you know where to find LEVEL Magazines, the next issue is supposed to have some new information in it.
Thanks to Chaos Blast for bringing most of this to my attention!
probably the internet’s worst keeped secret
lol on that.
I hope that it wins.:P
so u actually have seen the scans u just want us 2 find em?
I hope unleashed wins (YA you better vote for sonic!)
Hell Yeah! Unleashead deserves the golden joystick coz even from the storyline and the facts that its SONIC . I have a feeling that this is THE game that’s gonna put sonic where he belongs back on top.
[...] I usually don’t post one thing right after another, as I want to give things a chance to soak into the minds of our readers before blowing their mind with something completely new… but I don’t think this can really wait. If you missed our post earlier this morning, be sure to check it out, cause Sonic Unleashed might win a Golden Joystick Award. [...]
@Kev: No, if I ever see something new, I always will reveal it as quickly as possible.
That said… I just posted a new scan from LEVEL magazine, and some bits from an interview in the latest PS2 UK Mag. Go check it out folks!
Offer still standing for those scans. If you live in the UK, GO FIND A COPY OF THAT MAG!
Let´s vote then.
There are tough competitions…
I hope that Sonic wins at least one, no matter which category.
I´m going to see for the PS2 magazine right now. =)
@Azure Blue: Thanks mate! I’d do it for all of you, but it’s a long swim from here
I was looking for some new scans and found Sonic Unleashed updated release date. It is November 11, 2008.

thats the link to the information.
Since they didn’t cite where they found the date, I have to assume they’re simply going with Amazon’s expected release date. Gamestop and several other sources mark the 4th of November as the official date, but no one knows for sure quite yet. We’ll have to hear from SEGA before we can be 100% sure.
Wooh! Go Sonic! His 1st award in what? 10 yrs! A good birthday present for sonic, the Golden Joystick! I’m voting right now!
i found a scan of the cover of the magazine, how do i post it here?
here is the link to the site with the cover

MAN IT’S GOING TO BE SWEET I GIVE IT 100%
great new sonic info
@pimpsnick:
It hasn’t been no 10 years since a Sonic game won an award. Do Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure suddenly slipped peoples minds?
Just goes to show that this game is probably going to be pretty amazing… I’m even more excited than before. Sonic is back, baby.
