PC users are getting a triple-dose of Sonic today, as Sega is bringing two games and a piece of DLC to the platform all at once. It might seem like these are just suddenly popping up on you out of no where, but it's Sonic, and that's kind of what he does.

Both Sonic CD and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 are available for the first time on Steam. The service is also hosting a Sonic sale so you can speed it up on the cheap. Plus, you can grab the Casino Night Pinball Stage for Sonic Generations.

Buying Sonic CD will net you a "Metal Sonic" costume and "Tails" accessory for Spiral Knights. Plus, the announcement mentions that Sonic 4: Episode 2 will be coming to PC later this year as well.

If you have to choose, Sonic CD is one of the most critically acclaimed Sonic games to date, and cheaper than the others to boot. Check out the video below to see the Spiral Knights incarnation of Metal Sonic.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is available for $9.99. Sonic CD is available for $4.99.

        It's got steamworks and gamepad support, so it's more than just emu, but the graphics are the same.

          My bet would be that Sega expanded their emu to support gamepads and Steamworks. It would make a lot more sense than reprogramming that game with the same graphics.

            I hope it's the same engine that the iPad/android versions use. That one rocks.

          It's probably the Christian Whitehead port that Sega released a month ago for iOS.

            I'd lay money on it being based on that port, as it was said his engine was designed to run on any platform.

            Just checked, and he and Blit Software are first names in the credit scroll.
