Great?

Honestly, I don't know how Sonic the Hedgehog can still have a fanbase. How many terrible games does Sega have to release (with very few exceptions) before people just stop buying it already?
After Sonic Colours, people seem to be more hopeful. I played Generations a bit, seems good enough.

Alright, so Colors is one of those exceptions. Still, there was Sonic Unleashed, Sonic 2006, the Wii Games (Arabian Nights + Black Knight, i think they are called), Sonic Riders, etc. beforehand.

Any other franchise not riding on the curtails of nostalgia (that would be my guess as to why people keep buying it) would have bought it after just one of those games, let alone all of them.
Too true, but nostalgia is quite powerful, obviously. Just one Colours is enough to spark hope for another.

Actually sonic unleashed for PS3 and 360 were pretty fun and cool games. the wii version was dragged down by werehog levels, and the PS2 version was borderline unplayable though.

I wasn't a fan of Unleashed, to say the least. I mean, "werehog" (It's the new werepanther). That terrible hangs over the game, eclipsing any of its other positive or negative aspects.

As for nostalgia... that just can't be enough. Let's say the Sonic Franchise is a sinking boat, and Colors is a pocket of air. After sinking into the watery abyss for so long, it must be a relief to have something in your lungs that isn't freezing water. Still, the ship's still sinking, and that little silver lining won't last long enough. Make your peace with what was, and what happened, and move on to another, better boat - one that hopefully has someone competent behind the wheel.

looked at many reviews, seen many clips.
Even IGN is on this game's side.
Come on, this game just can't be bad.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
