TGR - "It's been a long, long time since we've seen a game starring Sonic the Hedgehog worth picking up. As I think back, Sonic & Knuckles seems to be the last title in the series that really got it right, though a case can also be made for Sonic Adventure. Still, even that game came back in the days of the Dreamcast, so it's been quite a while since our anthropomorphic speedster friend made a title worth caring about. Sega is hoping the tide has finally turned with their latest offering, Sonic Unleashed."
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

The days of Sonic being a quality franchise have almost completely faded from my memory. Here's hoping that Unleashed will finally get it right, but after so many dissapointments I'm not holding my breath.
I'm very suspicious of the "Werehog" mechanic, but I'm really hoping the speed levels live up to the glory of times gone by.
im actually exctited for this sonic game.
I hope there not long ass load times in it though like Sonic the Hedghog game for PS3 and 360. dam those loading screens annoyed the crap out of me
