-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Kojima Productions Threatens Legal Action Against Those Who Claim Hideo Kojima Was Linked to Shinzo Abe Assassination

-

Following a racist joke that linked Hideo Kojima to the assassination of Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Kojima Productions has threatened legal action against those who contribute to the "spread of fake news and rumors that convey false information."

Kojima Productions tweeted out its statement earlier today, July 9, saying that it "strongly condemns the spread of fake news and rumors that convey false information. We do not tolerate such libel and will consider taking legal action in some cases."

As reported by PC Gamer, the reason for this statement stemmed from a racist joke that seemingly began on 4Chan (shocking, I know) that said Kojima was the assassin behind the death of Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan who was killed while he was delivering a campaign speech for upcoming elections on Friday, July 8.

Abe was shot twice and passed away at a hospital, and a suspect named Tetsuya Yamagami was arrested at the scene and admitted to being the one who shot the former Prime Minister.

This so-called joke was picked up by a French comedian in a Tweet mocking the situation and that was retweeted by a far-right French politician named Damien Rieu who is associated with the Génération Identitaire movement he co-founded. Rieu took the joke as an actual fact and began spreading it.

Despite all of the signs of this obviously being some sick joke, images that falsely linked Kojima to the assassination appeared "in an Iranian press outlet and as part of a Greek news broadcast."

Rieu has since apologized, but the damage had already been done. Now, Kojima Productions is doubling down and letting those out there know that this is not something to joke about and that it will take legal action in certain cases if any of this libel against Hideo Kojima continues.
