Sonic the Hedgehog used to be a name associated with quality. During the Genesis days, buying a game featuring the blue hedgehog usually guaranteed an excellent gaming experience. Since that time, Sega has stumbled with its star mascot, casting him in the decent Sonic Adventure games while terrorizing audiences with the lackluster Sonic Rivals and Sonic Riders games, it's biggest offense coming in the form of the abysmal (but best selling) Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 bug fest, Sonic the Hedgehog. Yet, despite this rocky road, the latest adventure, Sonic Unleashed feels different. We're not one to get our hopes up, but based on the early screens, we can't help but drool just a little.
Available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PlayStation 2, Sonic Unleashed is a 3-D adventure with 2-D roots. It appears that instead of creating a free roaming game, a la Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega intends to blend old school Sonic platform mayhem with detailed 3-D visuals."
Sonic The Hedgehog has had a long and storied history over the past decades, but which are the best Sonic games ever made?
If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.
And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.
I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.
Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.

SPC celebrates the occasion with a special top ten list, presenting the site's picks for the very best of the Blue Blur's biggest and boldest titles. After you've checked out the picks here, which Sonic games would you select as your personal favorites?"
wheres sonic 06 lol. I know im in the minority but if you can look past all the glitches I actually liked the game.
Hmmm, this is kinda cheating, but I would rate Sonic 3 & Knuckles as #1, rather than having the two games separately occupy #2 and #3.
That was literally the only game I played for YEARS.
In any order
Sonic Adventure 1
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Shuffle
Sonic Generations
Sonic Lost World
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
