Time Magazine's Techland section takes a look back at 20 years of Sonic the Hedgehog over a five-page article, listing games, allies, enemies, comics, and TV Shows, amongst other things.
Almost every game has bad segments in them, even some of the greatest of all time. Associated Content takes a look at some of the greatest games of all time that have segments bad enough to make you question your overall experience with the game.
"YouTube artists have taken the FM Synth rhythms of the original Genesis and done representations on what they would sound like on the Super Nintendo hardware. The end result is a distinctly different style, yet it matches the system perfectly. Below are the original and remixed tunes for your listening pleasure:"
"Since there are literally hundreds of thousands of games out there, it’s no easy task for lead characters to make a lasting impression on the player. Once in a while however, you'll come across a leader that's different. Somehow, that character manages to set himself apart from the others."
With faster and improved gameplay, a good story, colorful 16-bit graphics, and an awesome soundtrack, it's no wonder so many gamers consider Sonic 3 the best game in the series. This is a must-have download on the Virtual Console!
"We’re at the stage in the console lifecycle where console makers are trying their darnest to get gamers to buy all sorts of crazy add-ons. If you think that the gaming peripherals madness is bad now, then you surely must have forgotten about Sega during their console days."
"I am writing about Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles together simply because they were originally going to be one game. Due to budget reasons, the game was split into two and the lock-on features were added to Sonic and Knuckles. When locked together, you got the full game of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This greatly improved both games as you could not save in vanilla Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3‘s levels are not as good as Sonic & Knuckles‘."
"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."
In this article, Evan Krell takes a look at how he got into the Sonic series. He starts off unenthusiastic about Sonic Advance and Sonic Adventure 2, but eventually begins to love the older games. This article has a lot of ranting it, fresh from the oven.
"SEGA Europe has been running a promotion in cooperation with Nintendo this festive season, and here at Electronic Theatre we thought we’d take this time to draw your attention to the fantastic selection of titles available at a reduced price, before it’s too late. Right now on the Virtual Console service for Wii, ten SEGA Mega-Drive releases are available with a 40% price reduction."

Though we'd all but confirmed a couple weeks ago the classic action title Gunstar Heroes would be coming to XBLA, today sees the official announcement from publisher Sega. More, we learn the game is due for PSN, too.
On top of this news, Sega is working on bringing Altered Beast, Shinobi, Comix Zone, Phantasy Star II, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles to XBLA, which is leaving some gamers peeved, given Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection offers 49 games for $30, as opposed to the c...
Why should you care about this randomness out of nowhere? Well, because Universal Pictures was about to pick it up. That's how good it is.
The movie is a throwback to the old "SatAM" Sonic cartoon featuring a different and better cast of characters alongside Sonic. A proper trailer is to be shown in Summer.
If the Entertainment Software Rating Board's listings are to be believed, Gunstar Heroes, Phantasy Star II, Comix Zone and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 are all coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. No release dates or UK release notes have been posted, but it's nice, hey?
"It is possible for Old-Wizard to dislike something that Nintendo made. There are plenty of games that were failures for the Nintendo franchise, but there were just too many good games to destabilize Nintendos power. One of the games we think that was overrated for the Nintendo franchise was Mario 64. It was made out to be huge, and it looked huge. But the storyline (that saw its height in Mario 3) was non existent, the controlling was below average, and game play was average compared to all ..."
A tipster contacted GoNintendo about a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which is a rumor as of right now. He gave GoNintendo three vides on YouTube that chronicle the events of the movie. Do you think a Sonic movie is coming?

"Three more titles were added to the Nintendo Wiis Virtual Console today. Here is what you can download today, all rated E for Everyone (click their names for box art and screens):
NES Play Action Football - 1-4 Players, 500 Points
Originally released in 1990 for the NES by Nintendo themselves, NES Play Action Football was quite the technical achievement during its time, being able to have two entire football teams moving on the screen at once along with the use of real voices for the r..."
"Weve all played a game where someone other than the main character has a huge role in the game, usually an unsung role. The problem is that these characters are absolutely vital to not only the enjoyment of the game but in pushing the story further along and quite often even saving the main character a time or two. Well it's time these silent saviors get recognized, so here's the top 5 best supporting characters. They were picked based on personality, in-game presence, and over-all abilit..."
