Top 15 Sonic the Hedgehog Episodes
I’ve made no secret of my love for the 90’s cartoon Sonic the Hedgehog, know affectionately to most of its fans as Sonic SatAM. And I will consider it one of the finest shows to come out of American animation. But which of the episodes were the best? Welcome to my top 15 countdown of the best Sonic SatAM episodes.
Review: Rayman Origins (360)
Even now, I can still remember the first time I played Super Mario Bros. I have vivid recollections of my first time playing Sonic the Hedgehog. I will never forget my first experience with Prince of Persia. Earthworm Jim, Aladdin, and, for nostalgic reasons specific to my own life, Yo! Noid all made indelible impressions on me that will be with me until time starts erasing all of my memories. I h...[Read More]
Review: Sonic Generations (PS3)
I start the console, hear the familiar cry of “SEGA!” and then bliss, as I hear an updated but still recognizable Sonic theme song. I press start, and find myself returned not just to the levels of the past, but that feeling of skill and response that I developed as a child for these games. I’m in heaven.
Preview: Sonic Generations
During the great console wars of the 16-bit era, I proudly proclaimed myself a Sonic man (or boy, rather, given my age at the time). I sat in front of my Genesis for hours on the classic Sonic games, and even found appreciation in some of the finer modern Sonic games later on down the line. Truth be told, though, the last Sonic game I was excited about was a bit of a disappointment. I’ve kep...[Read More]
How Great Stories Make Games Better: A Counter Opinion
Because it’s not that I think Adam is completely wrong about everything he said in his article. It’s that I know Adam is completely wrong about everything he said in his article. A great story has the ability to elevate a great game into a great piece of art.

Product Review: AtGames Sega Arcade Motion
The Sega Arcade Motion from AtGames has it's highs and it's lows, but it might just make you take a second look when you see it on the shelf. I picked one up for about 26 bucks, just to tell you guys about it!
Review: Sonic Colors (Wii)
When Sega announced Sonic Colors, I was so excited. Unlike a lot of gamers, I really enjoyed Sonic Unleashed, since it was the first step in the right direction for the Blue Blur. Granted, that was because I had the PS3 version, which was a lot better than the Wii version (uneven amount of levels where you could play Sonic as opposed to the Werehog). In fact, every trailer for Sonic Colors has mad...[Read More]
Review: Vanquish
Vanquish is not the game you play for a deep, thought-provoking, socially-relevant story. Vanquish is the game you play for knock-your-socks-off, blow-your-mind, tear-a-hole-in-the-space-time-continuum entertainment that’s so good it will make you want to slap your mama. Don’t get me wrong, a great story is always welcome; but to me, it is always secondary to gameplay. Where was the st...[Read More]
Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
When I was but a wee lad, I found great joy in my Atari 2600, NES, Commodore 64, and more. When my grandmother sent me a SEGA Genesis bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog for my ninth birthday, I became a SEGA man. I still owned and played other consoles and platforms, but my heart and soul belonged to a little blue fuzzball in red hightops. Even to this day, if I have to choose between playing the ori...[Read More]
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Release Date and Pricing
We’ve mentioned Sonic the Hedgehog a few times in passing on this site. To be honest, he’s a touchy subject. On the one hand, when a Sonic the Hedgehog game is good, it can be one of the best games you will ever play. On the other hand, when a Sonic the Hedgehog game is bad, it makes you wish you were playing E.T. on the Atari 2600 instead (for you young whipper-snappers that aren&#...[Read More]
