All hail Sega's blue fuzz ball
Few video game characters experience a career like Sonic the Hedgehog's. Sega's popular mascot helped sell the Sega Genesis, starred in numerous adventure games and became one of the most recognizable video game heroes. Despite being cast in some terrible roles, he managed to survive copycats looking to capitalize on his success. Join us for a special look at Sonic's wild ride.

p.s. i am not a fangirl. or fanboy. i am a gaming enthusiast, and i believe that the imaginative games, such as the games featuring sonic the hedgehog, are some of the better ones. and yes, i am female, thank you very much.
i agree with jsstubby3. even though the games now royally stink, i still find a lot of relief from the Adventure games. Adventure 2 was always my favorite, because it was the one game that sparked an anime series and introduced not one, but TWO of my favorite video game characters: shadow and rouge. and yes, lilyanksfan10, i also agree with your theory on Black K***ht. i mean, swords and speed do NOT mix. AT ALL. another great WTF moment in gaming.
Did anyone check out this new WCG Ultimate Gamer show on Sci Fi?????? The first ep was last Tuesday and I'm totally hooked. It's all about video games, the cast is HOT and it's really high tech.

Ya definetly those were amazing sonic games, and I'm dissapointed that Sega's abandoned Shadow's story for so long! Sonic graphics kick ass too, and, although some of their new games aren't up to their past standards, I still think they're pretty good.
i kinda like the new games but sonic adventure 1 & 2 were the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree deathlord
Game Daily Certainly got this list right.
"we didnt take him seriously... now he's got a gun" LOL
You see, THAT'S what happens when you don't take Shadow seriously: you get a game full of wepons starring him. I guess Sonic Adventure 2 was SEGA's way of saying "Perpare yourself for the unthinkable."
but I do agree with Lizzy a little right now the new game Sonic and the Black K***ht...WTH? Sonic doesn't need a damn sword... I used to like the Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3 where he would run to eggman and kill him now there's werehog I actually like it a little bit but why use power instead of speed? and Sonic became slower as werehog.
