Welcome everyone! If you're here because you are a fan of Sonic, then you came to the right place, at Sonic News Network! I been a Sonic fan since 2006 and since then, I have collect a bunch of Sonic games.

Personal Life
For those who want to know more about me, I'm a teenager in the 8th grade. I live in the United States and I am a fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, the Pokemon series, and the Super Mario Bros. series. I am a Christan and I'm proud of it!

I became a Sonic fan when I played Sonic Mega Collection (Gamecube version) at my babysitters house about in 2002. I never owned a Sonic game until in 2006, I saw Sonic Heroes for the PS2 at my local store (I think Wal-Mart). Since then, I've collected a bunch of Sonic games and, thanks to my uncle, who liked Sonic when he was growing up, I have my uncle's Sega Genesis and Sega Dreamcast (both still working!).

Without a doubt, my favorite Sonic game would have to be a triple-tied between Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic Colors (Sonic CD comes very close on this list). All are great, if not fantastic, games that ALL Sonic fans should have.

Trivia

 * I go to the Church of Christ and I'm a Christan, but I'll respect your beliefs.
 * I'm more of a Classic Sonic gamer than a Modern Sonic gamer, but since Colors, I like Modern's games.
 * I have a total of 24 Sonic games not counting compilations; I have 35 Sonic games counting compilations.
 * I'm a Sega/Nintendo fan; I dislike both Sony and Mircosoft very much.
 * I'm do like Big the Cat. Enough said!
 * I do like the Sonic video game series and the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.

Character of the Week
Note: There has been a hiatus on the Character of the Week. It will not return until April. Thank you!

Character of the Week Hall of Fame
 * Silver the Hedgehog- If it's bad enough with Shadow, then get a load of this (Pun entended). Silver is pretty much Shadow that's white with future powers. But I have repsect for this guy; I mean, he is better than Shadow, in my opinon. But, it would have been nice if Sega didn't create him at the SAME time as 06'. That game wasn't bad, but it was enough to say "When did Sonic go bad?"-3/9/12
 * Wisps- These little guys is what made Sonic Colors a whole lot better. Without them, Colors is just another Sonic Unleashed with better graphics and worlds. My personal favorite Wisp...... I like both the Purple Frenzy and Cyan Wisp. And get this: they came back in Sonic Generations! Yay! So the Wisps are really cool dudes. Trust me, what's better: Wisps or Flicky?-3/2/12
 * Marine the Raccoon- Marine is a character who will NEVER get the spotlight, ever. Seriously, she has appeared in one game! Not counting a brief mention in the DS version of Sonic Colors, Marine has'nt appeared in a game since then. And I don't think she will anytime, either.-2/24/12
 * Mephiles the Dark- This guy..... He kill Sonic in one shot..... Dr. Robotnik has trying for YEARS, but yet ........ Mephlies kills him in one shot. That's just bad story telling. This is one of the reasons why I don't own a Xbox 360: Lame story telling on some Sonic games (Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, anyone?)-2/19/12
 * Jet the Hawk- When Jet had appeared in Sonic Riders, his voice sounded like garbage. Seriously, his voice sounded like Sonic on steroids. I'm glad they change the voice actors, but he doesn't really need to be in the series. We've got Metal Soni (which we can keep) and Shadow, so do we really need a new speed rival? Well, Sega wanted it and fans got their wish. Oh and by the way, Sega, please DO NOT MAKE another Sonic Riders. We've got three and three is enough!-2/9/2012
 * Metal Sonic- Honestly, he is the best doubleganger of Sonic in the entire franchise. He's threating, fast, and cool at the same time (Don't whine, Shadow fan girls). Before Shadow and Silver came, he was the only character to match Sonic's speed. With his appearance in Sonic 4: Episode 2, he'll have a load of a time with his fair and share. In fact, I hope Episode 2 comes out for something for Nintendo systems, because Episode 2 looks awesome!-2/3/12
 * Mario- If you have never played a Super Mario game, you have no good taste in video games. Seriously, he's the reason video games are still alive today. He's games are like one of the best there is (no offense, Blue Blur, you're still #1 on my list) and now that video game characters like Master Cheif and Angry Birds are coming, no one gives Mario respect anymore. So here's my final words on this character: Mario is the reason Sonic is in video games. I respect Mario and no one can make me not like him.-1/27/12
 * Biolizard- Might I just say that this boss was hard as heck! If you played Sonic Adventure 2 to the end, then you would get what I mean. One time, I jump on a platform and guess what? I fell into the water and died. This is a normal experience to those who have battle Biolizard. And get this; the Sonic Generations version was way too easy! Weird, right?-1/19/12
 * Sir Percival- This is my favorite Knight from Sonic and the Black Knight. Probably because she is so slick. She is also hard to fight, so she is a wise knight that shouldn't be messed with. According to the game, she is the strongest of the Knights of the Round Table. I'm just saying this stuff because there is nothing else to talk about her, besides that she is better than Lancelot.-1/11/12
 * Black Doom- For choosing a side on Shadow the Hedgehog, I would go with the Dark Side. Why? Because G.U.N. is just terrible and plus Black Doom offers Shadow the world to him. The way the game felt like while I was playing through Shadow the Hedgehog made me feel like I was powerful. Plus, Black Doom is pretty threating, as well. One bad note; the name of the Black Arms sounded racist.-1/4/12
 * Storm the Albatross- First off, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! Since I'm getting the Storm figure made by Jazwares, I picked this character. After this Character, I will choose characters randomly for now on. Storm is one of my favorite characters to pick in Sonic Riders. Why? I don't really know? He's toy is awesome and thus, I'm getting the Storm figure. Once again, Merry Christmas!-12/22/11
 * Vector the Crocodile: Sorry, again, that I have missed last friday (12/16/11) to have another Character of the Week. Anyway, since I have finished the Shadow the Hedgehog game, I choosed Vector. His infamous saying-"Find the computer room"-was on that game, as well, but since I've heard many, many times, I didn't find it funny. All well, but at least he is not as annoyning as Charmy, who had a annoying voice. Glad Sega change the voice actors.-12/19/11
 * Big Arm: What, robots don't count as characters of the week? Well, to celebrate Generations (3DS) first main boss, here's this robot with...well, big arms. To tell someone that on Sonic 3, this guy was pretty frustrating to defeat. Without Super Sonic (which seems impossible, but can be suceeded), Robotnik's made a pretty cool robot (what I've heard, however, that his Generations counterpart isn't all that tough the robot is one of the first bosses in the game, afterall).-12/9/11
 * Super Shadow: Okay Super Sonic appears in almost every Sonic game. So why does this guy show up? I mean Shadow uses the second most used Super form character, other than the Blue Blur himself. And to think that I dislike Shadow, here comes this guy. Hey on the bright side, we won't see him for a while, until Sega decides to make Shadow the Hedgehog 2, which I would hit my head on a brick wall, repeatly, on the day that happens (Hopefully, it doesn't).- 12/1/11
 * Tikal the Echidna: You know how on Thanksgiving is coming up? Well, don't give thanks to this character (not that you will, because that would be weird). In my opinion, Adventure would of been better without her. Tikal, never come out of the Master Emerald EVER again. Plus, this character counts as for last week (11/13/2011) and this week (11/20/11), which is pretty lame.- 11/21/11
 * Knuckles the Echidna: Knuckles was the reason way I like Sonic. Every time I would play Sonic Heroes, I would choose Knuckles when playing Team Sonic. I even had a dog named Knuckles. But today, Knuckles isn't my favorite character. To me, Knuckles lost his respect when Sonic 06 came out. I like Knuckles when he's not a side character, but playable instead. Knuckles, thank you for bringing me here.- 11/11/11
 * E-123 Omega: What a great way to introduce a character that is cool at first but then becomes a side character. In other words, he was push back as a character that basically no one remebers. I think Omega was create just to shut the fans up because they miss Gamma. Well, Gamma died and so far, Omega hasn't. Speaking of Omega, where is he, Sega? He was cool in the Olympic Winter Games because he was threathing, something Shadow hasn't done since Sonic Adventure 2.- 11/4/11
 * Time Eater: To celebrate Sonic Generations, this week's Character of the Week is Time Eater. Said to be the main boss in Generations, Time Eater is supposly the thing to suck up Sonic and friends, time itself (hench its name), and even the color. All of this makes a good story (after all, this all happens at Sonic's birthday) but I do not like the fact that this game is Sonic's 20th anniversary game and that Dr. Robotniki s not the final boss. I hope Time Eater is the SECOND to last boss because I really hope Robotnik has been working since Sonic bascially kicked him into outer space. Still, Time Eater looks threating.- 10/28/11
 * Chaos: When Chaos first appeared in Sonic Adventure, I thought this guy was just one boss. Well, I was wrong because he ended up collecting ALL of the Chaos Emeralds and destoryed Station Square. His final form, Perfect Chaos, was awesome and plus you got "Open your Heart" playing at the beginning, so what's NOT to like about him? Besides that Egg Viper was more harder to defeat than Perfect Chaos? Yep, that's it.- 10/21/11

Game Awards
Every year, I will choose five games that I've played all the way through and put the selected games into "The Game Awards. (NOTE: I will not put in any game with a ESRB rating of Mature or higher)

2011

5. Rayman Origins (2011, Nintendo Wii)- Rayman Origins is an overlooked game because of it's art sytle, but don't be scared, because it will easily be your next favorite platforming game. Its wacky-out-of-the-wazoo graphics are one of the series best and the sprites of the characters (on multi-player) are hilarious. If you are a platforming fan, you should get this game. Its ending is awesome, too. Rating: 8.5

4. Shadow the Hedgehog (2005, PS2)- Before I got Shadow the Hedgehog, it was the only main Sonic game I've never played (besides Sonic Generations, which wasn't out at the time). See, I dislike Shaodw very, very much and the only game I thought he was cool in was his debut game, Sonic Adventure 2. I do dislike the fact the game Shadow the Hedgehog used guns. The replay value is very awesome, and this is the only game in which I actually enjoyed hearing "All Hail Shadow." Overall, Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog are only games in which Shadow is cool, to me. Rating: 8.0

3. Pokemon SoulSilver (2010, Nintendo DS)- This game is the reason why I like both Pokemon and RPG's to this day. Thanks to events, trading, and previous entries to the series, you can "catch them' all." But I've only caught 298 to this very day. With Lugia being the main Pokemon in the game (Lugia is on the cover, duh), I would prefer Lugia over Ho-Oh anyday. Game Freak returned a great, classic game into a new game. Good job! Rating: 9.0

2. Sonic Generations (2011, Nintendo 3DS)- This game is one that no Sonic fan can miss. It returns Sonic's classic form and Sonic's modern form. Plus, with speed and platforming for both Sonic's (modern is more about speed; classic is more about platforming), this game can please any Sonic fan. With levels that most Sonic fans can remeber easily, a soundtrack of the best Sonic music, and an artwork gallery of Sonic characters, this deserves to be on my Top 10 Sonic games of all time. Sega, you did a fantastic job this year! Rating: 9.0

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010, Nintendo Wii)- True Platforming. That's the word that I said when I finished this game. Not only was it good, it was fantastic. In fact, if this game wasn't in the way, Sonic Generations would have been the winner of the 2011 Game Awards. Better luck next time, Sonic. But back to Mario, I have never seen true platforming goodness. Drilling through the ground, riding Yoshi, and kicking Bowser's butt were the best parts in the game. The music is simply outstanding and the graphics are terrific. It's honestly the best Mario game there is (except for Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64). Rating: 9.5
