 * Sonic Riders (PS2 version) - My first Sonic game, which I got back in 2008 some time after getting my PS2. I have a lot of memories with this one, filled with joy, pride, and frustration.... before it broke on me, forcing me to get a new copy years later. It took me a LONG time to get good with the controls. I didn't even figure out how to consistently land on the higher platforms until I decided to look up a FAQ in GameFAQs. (Keep in mind, I was not an internet person for video games at the time.)


 * Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 - My first two Sonic handhelds, which I got a while after getting my PSP... which I misplaced some time ago. Between the two games, I prefer the second one since its AI and powerups were less cheap... well, for me, at least.


 * Sonic and the Black Knight - One of my personal favorites, to be honest. I thought the controls were fine, even though sword-swinging can get a little tiring at times, the story was pretty interesting, and the bosses were actually pretty good.... with the exceptions of the Misty Dragon and the Earth Dragon, the latter being the more annoying of the two.


 * Sonic Generations (PS3 version) - A lot of people say that this game is really good, and I'm inclined to agree. It's a huge throwback to the ups and downs of some of Sonic's history, including the ever-infamous Sonic 06 (which I have not played, and probably never will) with the inclusion of Crisis City, which I find to be one of the harder stages in the game. That aside, I simply enjoyed playing as both the Classic and Modern versions of the Blue Blur. Here's to hoping that Sonic 2017 will be able to top that.


 * Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2 version) - I'm not too fond of this one. No, it's not because of the fact that the characters curse in the game, and it's not because of the multiple endings. I don't like this game because I simply found it be a chore to play through. I'm not sure if I got one of the endings, but I eventually got bored of it and it lies in the cabinet near my PS2, just collecting dust until I decided to pick it up again for whatever reason or the end of time.


 * Sonic and the Secret Rings - Well, it's not that bad, but it's not that good either. Certainly weaker than Black Knight, that's for sure. The only real problems I had with it were the controls and the mission layout. Sure, Black Knight had a mission layout too, but I found it a LOT less confusing there than in here.


 * Sonic Colors (Wii version) - Ah, now here's a good game! While it has flaws in some areas, I found a lot of enjoyment in Sonic Colors. The Wisps were fun to use, and collecting them Red Star Rings was a better motivation for playing through the game again instead of simply getting every possible ending in order to unlock the last one.


 * Sonic 3 and Knuckles - While I have played the entire classic Genesis trilogy, 3 and Knuckles is by far my favorite of the bunch. I haven't beaten the game as Knuckles or Tails yet (mainly due to the fact that I have other interests in mind atm), but playing through the game as the blue dude was just so much fun. Of course, getting all of those Chaos and Super Emeralds was no easy task. And then there's the music. Ice Cap and Big Arms anyone?


 * Sonic Unleashed (PS3 version) - You guys have no idea how much I adore this game. Frame-rate issues and level design flaws (particularly in some of the Werehog stages) aside, Sonic Unleashed is by far my favorite game in the series, next to Sonic 3 and Knuckles. The daytime stages were a thrill to blaze through (if I'm not screwing up and dying because it's just so fast) and the nighttime stages were actually really fun. Yes, I'm one of those people who actually like the Werehog. Deal with it. That said, some of the Werehog stages irk me, such as Skyscraper Scamper and, initially, Jungle Joyride. Oh, and I don't need to mention how insane Eggmanland is.


 * Sonic Adventure (PS3 version) - The last Sonic game I've bought as of late. This one was a fun game. All of the characters in the game were really fun to play as... except for Big, obviously. And who can forget the vast-yet-compact overworld and the Chaos. Those little guys are just a joy to play with. :D
