    Birthday? More like deathday. Sonic has been dead to me for years. *shakes fists in anger at Sonic Team & Sega*

    Only 18 years old, and already he's drinking meths under a bridge and wondering where it all went wrong.

    Maybe they should get less of some Microsoft fanboy to write that article next time.

    I get all misty-eyed too here. It's because sonic is like cutting onions and always makes me cry.

    Why wear merchandise of a failing franchise? Yuji Naka must come back and save his sonic franchise.

    I would happily take all of those. Sonic Unleashed's Day Stages are fun enough to warrant a few hours of play and then trade-in. Sonic Rush Adventure and the Genesis Collection are both awesome.

    @Ueziel: I think Unleashed would've been Sonic's Second Coming had they not thrown in the stupid night levels. Oh well, I'll be a Sonic fan forever.

    @(Zombie) Goldwings: As terrible as Sonic 2006 was, I think Sonic and the Black Knight may in fact be a worse game. I thought they were on to something with Secret Rings, but then they gave him a sword...

    @BlueWizard422: I agree, the day stages are quite a bit of fun and would have been better received without the werehog bits which, truth be told, aren't that terrible, just out of place. What killed the game for me was having to find all those damn medals just so I can play the game. This mindset of the public that games must consume a certain amount of hours to be worthwhile regardless of fun or replayability is killing Sonic among other some other games.

    @guitarzan2k5: Technically no. He would have been legal if he hadn't tragically died shortly after making Sonic & Knuckles at the tragic age of three. It's great that we can look back on him and wonder what would have been if any Sonic games had been made after Knuckles turned up but it's important that we remember that while he is always with us in spirit he has been laid to rest.

    @Busting makes Mister Jack feel good: Mobius. Where Sonic is, and always will be 16 human years old.


    So, uh, if any of you have any furry erotica, and live in the States or Australia, you might want to toss it.


    heh.

    @Phydeaux: Seems more like a 50 year old desperately trying to recapture his edgy teenage days. If he couldn't already outrun everything on the market it would just be easier for him to buy a sports car.
