Join Sonic for an awesome celebration of both Sonic’s 20th Anniversary and skateboarding at Sonic Generations of Skate, an all-ages event for Sonic fans and skating fans young and old!

Now, the legends of skateboarding will compete in a completely unique team competition that celebrates three generations of vert skating! Each team will consist of one 1st generation, one 2nd generation and one 3rd generation vert skater competing together on the actual half-pipe from the X Games.

There will be four different competitions where each pro will battle for team points against skaters from their own generation. The contests include individual runs, high air, best trick and team doubles.

Check out the list of twelve top pros competing for the chance to go home with the glorious golden ring – er, trophy! And join them for autographs, to play the newest video game from Sega, and a chance to win prizes!

We’ll be on the basketball courts next to Muscle Beach in Venice Beach, California from 11am until 5pm on Saturday, October 22nd. It’s free, so bring your family and friends! Tweeting about this event? Use and follow the hashtag #sonicskate

Not able to make it in person? No need to worry — it will be broadcast on Fox Sports Network on November 25, 2011.

Today we are happy to announce the first pre-order details for its much anticipated third-person, squad shooter Binary Domain. Everyone who pre-orders Binary Domain at GameStop will receive the “Multiplayer Pack,” featuring an exclusive multiplayer map, a new playable class as well as exclusive weapons.

The “Multiplayer Pack” gives access to the exclusive multiplayer map, “Outside High-rise, Upper City” which can be played across a variety of Binary Domain’s multiplayer modes.

The new playable class, the “Ninja” is also unlocked and offered for both teams; this unique playable character type is perfect for surprise attacks and adapting combat style to the situation. Remember our Ninja facts for real ultimate success!

1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

Finally this pre-order pack also contains two exclusive multiplayer weapon types: the “Hoga Type 69” Sniper Rifle for long range annihilation of enemies and the ‘Yamato-0’ Handgun, for more up close and personal work.

Binary Domain is a pioneering third-person squad shooter from the creators of the Yakuza series.
