With Sonic Rivals 2's release nearing, Sega released another official gameplay video for the Sonic fan in you. Rings Battle and Capture the Chao aside, Sonic Rivals 2 will offer four other multiplayer battle modes for Sony PlayStation Portable gamers. That's six bragging rights altogether, if you stomp the competition like Robotnik's lackeys.

Though the short flashes the official release date yet again, there hasn't been an announcement as to when exactly in November Sonic Rivals 2 sees the light of day. As stated before however, PSP owners in the UK will get to pommel King of the Hill wannabes once the game officially hits their shores in December.

Sonic Rivals 2 is under the development wings of Backbone Entertainment, to be published by Sega.

Chao Garden (Virtual Pet) has been under development on our forums for quite a long time now - several months! But while the progress is slow, it never stops and now c5cha7 has finally decided to release a demo of his work in progress of the virtual pet Chao's from the Sonic universe. It isn't near completion yet, but serves as a playable beta stage game. Some of the new updates include:

• A.I Added (Tweaking at the moment)
  
• Crops Added (Annoying but very fun to remove lol)
• Collisions Added (Not the best coding i have done)
• Cursor Added (It move's and stuff... what else lol)
• Main Menu Added (Currently Intergrating into the chao garden)
• Sidebar Added (Main Bar has stat info and stuff)
• Run Bar Added (It isn't fully done yet but it works!)
• Customize Chao (Took me awhile but its here!)
• Chao Sounds (Random sounds etc...)
• Load/Save Game (Implented and ready to go!)
• More Cursor Functions (Extras and stuff)
• Name Your Chao (Good idea lol..)
• Chao Market Place (We will need this lol)
• Chao Egg (Your chao starts out as an egg)

So go ahead and check out the demo and let us and c5cha7 know what you think of his Chao Garden.
