Sonic turned 17 today.
iwontusemyname | 1:23 AM on 06.24.2008 10 comments


Or yesterday...depending on when and where you read this.






I know you guys, (Sega) don't want to make a real Sonic game anymore. That's fine. I've
accepted that. Just please don't muck up Unleashed too much. Please? For me? For
everyone else?

Hey - Unleashed is actually looking like a half decent game compared to the absolute crap fest that was Sonic and the Secret Rings.

I really liked Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast, it was probably the last good Sonic game I've played.

However it's all been downhill from there.

Sega... Return of the chao pets PLEASE!
njsykora's Destructoid Blog
Sonic Adventure was excellent, Sonic Advance games were brilliant, Sonic Rush was excellent and I even go so far as to say that Sonic Heroes (while not brilliant) was far from a shameful addition.

Happy birthday to Sonic though, may he continue to fill our lives with fine rock music.

Seriously, is it too much to ask for a Sonic Underground revival?

"Hey - Unleashed is actually looking like a half decent game compared to the absolute crap fest that was Sonic and the Secret Rings"

"Sonic and the Secret Rings" also LOOKED half decent, though as you mentioned, it was not... I have lost all hope in anything Sonic Team related after the atrocities that were "Sonic and the Secret Rings" and "NiGHTS Journey of Dreams"

This is really really depressing. Not because it makes me feel old (hey, I'm only two years older), but because I think back to the last even somewhat good sonic game (Sonic Adventure 2. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I know a lot of people do. After that was Sonic Heroes wich in my experience anyway is waaaaaay more disliked) came with a special 10th anniversary bonus pack.

Come on sega, seven years is way too long to wait for a good Sonic game. Plea-

wait.

I GOT IT.

Someone at Sega, seven years ago, broke a mirror. That man has still been employed there, leaving his foul luck to mar our beloved franchises. But the 7-year curse is finally reaching it's end, and therefore THIS IS THE YEAR SEGA WILL STOP SUCKING! YES, RETURN TO THE GREATNESS YOU ONCE WERE, SERVICE GAMES, AND TAKE BACK WHAT SHOULD BE YOURS!

(Well, hope and enthusiasm has worked to satiate Cubs fans for over a century now, I just hope someone at Sega didn't allow someone with a billy goat into their offices...)

 about me





iiii
iiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

i made stairs.



it's weird to me when people call other people their screen names or user names in real life. so just call me conor.

and not only am i not proficient at photoshop, i don't even have a copy!

i enjoy (not) sleeping, playing bass guitar, not looking directly into people's eyes, orange chicken, and making non-pornographic short films.

Short films that I actually made! Woah!

Myspace is for the cool ones.


so...video games. amirite?



i guess you can call me an "art-fag" or "plot-fucker" or whatever the term is, because i enjoy games with a robust and (mostly) rewarding single player campaign. (that, and most of my friends play some multiplayer games i don't like, so i'm sort of in a pickle here.) i also like odd quirky titles and some rhythm games (like elite beat agents and parappa and so forth. not so much guitar hero anymore...)

i'm not tied down to any particular console, but if it has a metal gear solid game, a resident evil game, or a sonic game (yes...that sonic) then i'd most certainly RSVP. i'm also a fan of katamari, phoenix wright, metroid prime, sam & max, psychonauts, killer 7 and earthbound. although on occasion, i've been known to pop in teenage mutant ninja turtles IV and mortal kombat 3, just for kicks.

picking a favorite is like picking your children. it mostly comes down to which one is the sexiest.
