Sonic Week: History of Sonic

WaitingHello everyone and welcome to Sonic Week at VGF!

This week is dedicated to the fastest and coolest blue member of the video game community - Sonic the Hedgehog.

We will take a look at various Sonic topics this week all closing with a list of the top 5 Sonic titles coming on Friday. I'm looking for your input as well so be sure to vote for your favorite on the poll and if it is not on the list, be sure to comment and I'll put it up there just for you.

Anyway, to start things off we will be looking at a progressive history of "notable" Sonic games with several spin-offs and appearances elsewhere:

Sonice the Hedgehog (1991) - Genesis












Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) - Genesis












Sonic the Hedgehog 3(1993) - Genesis












Sonic CD (Genesis w/Sega CD attachment) - 1993












Sonic & Knuckles (1994) - Genesis












Sonic 3D Blast (1996) - Genesis, Saturn











Sonic Adventure (1999) - Dreamcast, Gamecube










Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) - Dreamcast, Gamecube











Sonic Heroes (2003) - Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox












Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) - Xbox 360, Playstation 3












Sonic and the Secret Rings (2007) - Wii











Sonic Unleashed (Fall 2008) - Playstation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 2

The upcoming installment in the Sonic series will include both 3D side-scrolling and 3D adventure gameplay. The official website seems to hint at Sonic "racing against time" to save the world and some sort of warewolf alter-ego. Lets hope this is Sonic's grand rebirth!Thumbs Up
