Ahead of next week's anticipated release of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 in theaters, Sega and General Mills have announced a partnership to bring the spikey blue hedgehog to breakfast nooks nationwide.
General Mills will be releasing two Sonic branded food products, with the obligatory breakfast cereal taking center stage. Featuring honey-flavored rings with spin dash and chaos emerald marshmallows, this cereal is going all out on representing Sega's mascot. There's also a "fun back-of-the-box activity for a speedy way to start the day." Neat!
Michael Cisneros, Senior Manager of Licensing at SEGA of America has this to say about the partnership:
“General Mills is one of the foremost brands in the food industry — especially when it comes to youth-focused products, so we’re thrilled to partner up with them. This partnership is a really fun and creative way to integrate some iconic aspects of the Sonic games into a whole new product line, and we’re excited to introduce it to Sonic fans.”

Nintendo has delayed the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to Spring 2023.
This news comes by way of a video shared by Nintendo on Twitter. The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma reveals that the development team needs more time to make it as special as Nintendo wants it to be.

Here’s what Aonuma says in the video, in full:
Dedicated tabletop gaming tables have been gaining steam for some time now, offering custom solutions for players who want a more nuanced solution for where to play out RPG or board game nights. Game Theory Tables is one of the recognized players in the category, thanks largely to the success of its customizable Origins table. Today, the team is launching a new crowdfunding drive for that table and a recently announced new coffee table format of a similar design, alongside a substantial discount on their standard pricing.
The original Origins table was most notable for its customizability, including a choice of wood color, playmats, cupholders, and optional accessories like USB chargers and dice-rolling towers. But its chief success lies in its recessed design, which offered a 4-inch recessed play area, which a dining top could cover, keeping in-process games in stasis while the family enjoys dinner, and allowing the game to pick back up when the group is ready to get back to the action.
The new coffee table variation of the Origins table seems to recognize that many players have switched to a more relaxed approach to game night get-togethers. The idea seems to be that the crowd is gathered in easy chairs and couches, leaning in to take a turn when the time is right, but you still want a suitable play space.
Alongside the new coffee table twist, Game Theory is also updating the original Origins table for its latest run in 2022.

Update 3/30/22: Our original story stated the lineup as a rumor, but we can now confirm that Slay the Spire, Hood: Outlaws & Legends, and Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated will be the April 2022 Playstation Plus titles, according to a post on the PlayStation Blog.
The Top Gun sequel is finally just around the corner from its long, long-awaited launch. Following its deliberate delay at the big screen due to COVID-19, the new May 25 release is approaching quickly, and today there’s both a new trailer and poster to dial up the excitement.
Prepare for takeoff, the brand new poster for #TopGun: Maverick is here. pic.twitter.com/cIJgLpJuOc

Here’s how the plot is summarized if you’re not familiar with the sequel’s story premise:
“After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster”, the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.”
And here’s the brand new trailer showcasing some not seen before footage:
Filming for the third season of Ted Lasso kicked off earlier this month, but that means it’s still too far away. If you’ve already watched the first two seasons on repeat for the last year, then it’s important to keep in mind there are other shows out there. It also means that this quiz will be a breeze and you can probably name all of the Ted Lasso side characters in your sleep.
Those who aren’t addicted to Ted Lasso still stand a chance. It will certainly be a tough time. You’ll have to dig deep for some of these. We’re not going to give you all easy questions but it’s certainly possible for someone who has watched every episode a single time to get a perfect score. Just don’t get your hopes up. We all know it’s the hope that kills you.
When you finish the quiz, don’t forget to share your results down below and on social media. And if you do exceptionally poorly, then don’t share your results and try again until you get a good score. Once you do that, then you’ll also want to check out all of the other fantastic quizzes we have here at Twinfinite.
That’s enough delaying of the inevitable. It’s time to jump in and test your knowledge of the smaller characters in Ted Lasso that help build out this magical little world. Good luck identifying the ten Ted Lasso side characters in this quiz.

Today Microsoft revealed the new games that will be granted in April 2022 to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers at no additional cost.
Below you can read the full list. All the games are playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, while only the last two are playable on Xbox 360ù
If you’re not familiar with the games (and I wouldn’t blame you), you can watch a trailer and take a look at an official description for the bunch.
Another Sight
Switch between two characters – the intrepid teen Kit, and the mysterious red-furred cat Hodge, as you explore the late Victorian era London in this the steampunk fantasy platform adventure. With an emphasis on culture and character and packed with historical cameos, Another Sight focuses on the emotional development of the relationship between its two protagonists as they rely on each other to traverse the cleverly designed levels.

Earlier today in a press release from Sega of America, it was announced that the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog will be teaming up with Minneapolis-based food producer, General Mills. The deal will see special-edition lines of fruit snacks and breakfast cereal hitting store shelves just in time for the release of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie.
The cereal appears to have golden-colored rings that are made to look like the rings that you collect in the many Sonic the Hedgehog games. And sprinkled throughout are marshmallows that resemble Chaos Emeralds as well as a featureless front outline of Sonic’s head which Sega of America has dubbed “Spin Dash” marshmallows.
As for the fruit snacks, much less information was revealed. All we know is that they will come, “…in a variety of shapes and flavors.”
Katie Wong, head of Ideas & Partnerships for General Mills talked about these products bringing together Sonic the Hedgehog fans of all ages together:
Our goal is to create holistic brand experiences for our consumers, and we’re so excited to be able to join SEGA to extend the ways that families can engage with the beloved Sonic the Hedgehog this spring. By bringing Sonic into the cereal and fruit snacks aisles, we’re able to bring together favorites of both kids and parents, alike.
Additionally, Senior Manager of Licensing at SEGA of America, Michael Cisneros, commented on his excitement for the partnership:
General Mills is one of the foremost brands in the food industry — especially when it comes to youth-focused products, so we’re thrilled to partner up with them. This partnership is a really fun and creative way to integrate some iconic aspects of the Sonic games into a whole new product line, and we’re excited to introduce it to Sonic fans.
Developed by Pixpil and published by Chucklefish, Eastward was one of the most charming indie hits we got to play last year. The game features a really beautiful retro 2D pixel aesthetic, Zelda-like action gameplay, and a moving story about a girl who wants to know the truth about the surface world and what really happened to Earth that drove humanity to live underground.
It was definitely a success at launch, and iam8bit and Skybound are working to release a physical retail version of the game this year.
The game will be getting a Collector’s Edition for Switch, which comes with an original tabletop game and a lovely cover sheet. Here’s how the game works:
“The cooperative tabletop game has 2-4 players working together to rescue villagers and defeat enemies, racing against a sinister miasma that threatens to engulf the world — complete with a foldout game board, 15 food cards, 10 item cards, eight Miasma cards, and four unique playable character standees.”
Developer Witch Beam's "zen" puzzler Unpacking - which, you may recall, was named Eurogamer's Game of the Year in 2021 - will be making its way to PlayStation 4 and PS5 "soon".
Unpacking initially burst out of its box toward the end of last year, giving PC, Switch, and Xbox players the opportunity to experience significant moments in the life of its protagonist, as relayed entirely through the act of pulling her current possessions out of boxes and packing them away into a new living space each time.
With April inching ever closer, Microsoft has hoisted its Games With Gold sack once more, upending it to reveal a fresh selection of titles being made available as part of Xbox Live Gold (and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) subscriptions next month, which this time look an awful lot like Hue, Another Sight, Outpost Kaloki X, and MX vs ATV Alive.
Hue, if you're unfamiliar, is puzzle adventure that sees players wandering a grey world and using their colour-based powers to push ever forward. Puzzles are largely built around the ability to change the background colour of the world, either causing previously invisible objects to be made visible or to colour-match obstacles so they disappear. Developer Fiddlesticks Games expands on that premise to deliver an experience that's as sweet as it is clever - and Xbox Live Gold subscribers can grab it as part of Games With Gold from 16th April to 15th May.
I'm trying to unite Ireland. It's 1066. Harold is about to get shot in the eye over in England - I know that because of history - so I've snuck in early and befriended him, and arranged for my daughter to marry one of his sons when she comes of age. Icky, I know, but when the French later decide to help my Irish neighbour in a war against me, and turn up in their thousands, I'm able to call on the English to fight them off. Step by step, I'm getting there.
This is Crusader Kings 3, and I've wanted to play Crusader Kings 3 for a long time. I've tried playing on PC before but bounced off it. Why it's taken until the console release to try again, I don't know, but here I am. And now the question is whether, on console, it works. The answer? Sort of.
A new PC mod for Elden Ring adds a much wished for element to the game - a transmog system. This allows players to wear whatever armour they like, without having to worry about little things such as stats.
The mod in question is by NexusMods user pelooleq (nice spot, Screen Rant), and is their first mod.
One of the absolute best 4K HDR TVs for gaming that we always recommend is the LG C1, and right now at Currys all sizes are reduced by £100 to £200. Even better, you can save a further ten per cent at checkout with the code 'TREAT10OFF'.
The C1 comes in five different sizes to fit whatever size room you have, and we like the 55-inch the most for its cost-to-size ratio.
