You can write an entirely new carol for a villain or hero to sing, if that’s what you’d rather do. You can take any approach to this as you wish – you can modify an existing Christmas Carol and replace certain words with some of Big the Cat’s favourite things, for example (so that would just be fishing, then).

Your task is to create a Christmas Carol, as performed by a Sonic character. Some won’t even bother to sing carols, only choosing to mumble half the chorus to ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas.’ We think the characters in the Sonic universe can do a bit better than that. Round about now, kids are going to start knocking on your door and sing butchered versions of carols. So, what have you got to do? As I said before, it’s Christmas time.

We’ve got a copy of Sonic Colours on the Wii and Nintendo DS, Sonic Free Riders on the Xbox 360 and as a bonus we’re throwing in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing on either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 (not pictured, obviously). Well, by entering our awesome Christmas competition of course, and winning yourself a PAL copy of four Sonic game released this year. Would you like to learn what we have learned in 2010? ‘How, and where exactly is this going?’ I hear you ask.

We’ve also learned that controller-free gaming can be done (somewhat) with a Kinect and that the chaps at Sumo Digital are heroes. It’s Christmas time! And what have we learned? Well, we’ve learned that Sonic Team can really get their heads down and crack out a decent game when they’re not distracting themselves with fluorescent flying toys or something similar.
