I just read on the BBC about San Francisco’s new Walk of Game, the gaming equivalent of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. It’s interesting to see some of the greats of gaming being recognised publicly with their own stars, and also that despite it being outside Sony’s Metreon Center, no Sony products or alumni were recognised – Nolan Bushnell, Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario, Link, Sonic, and Halo were the honours this time around.

It’s never going to be on the scale of the Walk of Fame and Halo seems like a bit of a misnomer, but more recognition for the greats of gaming outside of private award shows can only be a good thing. Even better when it heralds a new Sonic game, Shadow The Hedgehog.
