Sonic has been the star in 60 games and he's had cameos in over 150 games. Everything from racing to adventure games the mascot of Sega has done it all. The big question is what are the top 5 Sonic games and where does Sonic 3D Blast fall on the list?

Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing is a game just like Mario Kart, but is it better than Nintendo’s popular arcade racing original?
You start off by taking a test drive which is like a tutorial race. It teaches you the basic co..."
"While there are a lot of bad sequels out there, we've decided to single out the top five we think are the worst. Just like every list, not everyone will be happy with our choices. 2K Sports fans will no doubt wonder why the list isn't compiled completely of EA Sports' Madden releases which rarely improve. Fans of series we’ve chosen will certainly get mad like they always do. However we’re sure that many gamers will agree that the list that follows is pretty accurate."
"A lot of games have them and a lot of them are annoying. We're of course talking about side kicks in video games. Whether your favorite genre is the classic platformer or you're more into hardcore action shooters, chances are you've had an annoying side kick at some point. We run down our top five worst side kicks of all-time. It's not likely that you'll agree with them all, but you're certain to remember how some of these number twos bugged you at some point."

And don't forget to check out the thirteen new songs from Jimi Hendrix for Rock Band."
"Ever wondered what would happen if you mixed an intoxicated aussie bloke that spoke like Niko Bellic (GTA4) and made him think he was agent Smith from the Matrix? The answer is in this weeks episode of ThumbPad Season 3 Episode 4, so kick back grab a beer and take a listen to this jam packed ep full of gaming goodnes.....or should I say drunk group of gamers?"

Having launched in both the North American and European territories on Tuesday, 9th March 2010, on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 simultaneously, Final Fantasy XIII has lived up to it’s expectations commercially."
"Nintendo and Sega have been at the forefront quite some time now when it comes to releasing sports titles that I can really sink my teeth into, such as Mario Tennis and Sega Superstars Tennis. Fast-paced, simple, and tons more fun than you can have within the confines of real world physics. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is the latest in the long line of mascot sports titles, and if you're a fan at all of mascot kart racers, then you owe it to yourself to give this a try, even if you're a wani..."

The bulk of the game lies in the Cup Races, offered at Beginner, Advanced and Expert levels, each containing a number of four-race Cup events. As player completes Cups, winning points in each race in much the same manner as the Super Mario Kart series, new and more challenging Cups are unlocked, in turn u..."
"Going into Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, I think I had the same preconception that everyone did: kart racing made by anyone other than Nintendo almost always disappoints. Now that may seem like an unfair thing to say, because there are other consoles out there that need good kart racing titles. Sadly though, as anyone who has played Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart or the dreaded Atari Karts on the Jaguar will tell you, if the game is missing the Nintendo Seal of Quality, it is a poor man’s excu..."

"There are the stock elements, like the hit points that accelerate the kart, as well as items to be picked up and used to disrupt other racers. Yep, from rockets to hazard cones, rainbows to obscure the vision and even an attack that will invert the world of the targeted foe, the game is built for one thing – fun. And four or five of the shorter courses have shortcuts that can be used advantageously – if the player is smart about using them."
"Comforting for me and SEGA fans to find out, both Dan and Omar are huge SEGA fanboys themselves, and even played a couple rounds of the game with me (I kicked Omar's butt in "King of the Hill" mode)."

"From horrific tales of a child murderer to bouncy, fun kart racers, this week's new releases have every possible angle covered.
The "horrific tale of a child murderer" title belongs to Quantic Dream's PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain. Considered "not really a game" by its developer, Heavy Rain will attempt to tell a heavily cinematic and intersecting story of four characters who are searching for a murderer known as the Origami Killer.
Finally, the bouncy, fun kart racer comes from Sega and t..."

A special treat for The Bender this week. We spend time with the gamer who loves to sue (currently Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and Activision-Blizzard), Erik Estavillo. Special guest Raychul Moore (girl gamer, Dan Hsu's better half) joins us with this interview discussing his cases and the guy himself. Listen in at the end of the show for some random thoughts about the interview with Mike and James along with some news blips. Get us on iTunes, through Zune, or download the mp3 here
In a new interview with IndustryGamers, Sega of America's VP of Marketing Sean Ratcliffe stated for a second time (first was last year) what perhaps most fans have been thinking this last decade: Sonic is broken. Not one to lament it seems, Ratcliffe said 'fixing' him will take time, with the efforts possibly ending up in less traditional avenues like XBLA.
Translation: 'new' Sonic will be their bigger investment as it sells better; oldschool fans can get their fix via digital outlets.
Binge Gamer owner and lover of Sega games, James Walker, gives us a preview of the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (ie "Mario Kart staring Sonic")
