I feel bad for Sonic the Hedgehog...

I remember back when I was about four years old (1999) and I had first heard of Sonic the Hedgehog. My parents used to give me quaters and I used to spend them on candy or a little HotWheel toy. I remember when my dad came home one day with a magizine about the "Blue Blur vs. Mario". I was used to Mario by then, the first (video)game I ever played was a Mario game and I thought he was the best thing since the 1989 model Ford Mustang HotWheel. When I saw this little blue rodent thing actually standing up to my little plumber idol, I new i had to try him out.

Coincidentally, my pops brought (our first) PC and he had "Sonic 3D Blast". I remember me playing that game for hours straight. The levels were well designed and it was fast paced

Now lets fast-forward 11 years (wow its been that long!)...

Since "Sonic 3D Blast", Sonic has risen to my favortie videogame character of all time. He owns my favorite videogame of all time (Sonic Adventure 2), my hardest videogame (Sonic the Hedgehog 3), even "The Game I'm Most Stoked About" (Sonic Colors). But lately, his adventures have been getting panned hard (very hard) by critics (especially GameSpot critics I might add). Some are true (Sonic the Hedgehog *2006* was one of the worst videogames of all time. I was really ashamed to call myself a Sonic the Hedgehog fan), and some werent true (Sonic Unleashed was rated only a 7.0 *Wii*. I thought it was one of the greatest games of that year *2008*), and some are flat-out WRONG (Sonic Riders *PC* was only rated a 6.0. It should've been rated higher. Look for my review...). I honestly dont see where Gamespot is going with their reviews. It seems that if it has "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" on it, they slap it with a bad review. I feel bad that Sonic the Hedgehog's games arent getting the recognition they deserve...
