    Sonic the Hedgehog CD

    Sonic CD’s soundtrack is enough to keep anyone coming back for more.

    Sega has had its share of drawbacks in the gaming industry. Marketwise, the Sega CD add-on wasn’t a critical success. Rather, it was a critical failure to shortsighted gamers. But the true gamer will realize its appeal a... Read Full Review

    Sonic the Hedgehog 3

    Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a genuine masterpiece, and a crowning achievement of the 16-bit era.

    In a world where perfect games were few and far between, gamers everywhere had something to shout about when Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released for the 16-bit wonder back in 1994. The Sonic series was going strong, with i... Read Full Review

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2

    Sonic 2 improves upon the gameplay formula presented in the first game, and everything else is cranked up even higher.

    Sonic the Hedgehog was an immediate success when it hit store shelves back in 1991. Folks played it, loved it, and then they wanted more. So Sega and Sonic Team responded with a sequel, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, or Sonic 2 f... Read Full Review

    Sonic Mega Collection

    Even though Sonic Mega Collection lacks the appearance of Sonic CD, it still delivers a plethora of awesome classics.

    Sonic 3D Blast for the Sega Saturn completely denies the fact that Sonic's transition into 3D was a failure.

    Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island

    Sonic 3D Blast for the Sega Saturn completely denies the fact that Sonic's transition into 3D was a failure.

    When I first played the Sega Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast, I lost interest before the first level was over. I thought to myself, “This is NOT Sonic the Hedgehog. Where’s the 2D?” It came and passed away, and then, j... Read Full Review

    Sonic Team sought to celebrate Sonic's 15th anniversary, but this party crasher left one heck of a mess to clean up.

    Here's a freak accident that limped away as an ill-fated prototype, the one that got away with Sonic Team's irresponsibility to catch... Namely, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, the worst conversion of one of the most innovat... Read Full Review

    The pogo-stick gimmick is still as addicting as it ever was, and helps to mitigate this platformer's few flagrant flaws.

    Commander Keen's series of unusual software releases found a place in the hearts of many PC gamers in the early '90s, and quite a few of them wouldn't mind tossing up an argument relating the eponymous character to Ninte... Read Full Review
