Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

Overwatch 2: Blizzard Devs 'Upset And Annoyed' By Delays

-

On November 1, 2019, Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2 at that year’s Blizzcon. After almost three years, the highly-anticipated sequel will finally be receiving a beta next week. Recently, developers behind the game have expressed their displeasure with its lengthy development.

In an interview with USA Today, lead hero designer Geoff Goodman detailed how the team had a plan in place for the development of Overwatch 2.

“We talked about it, way back,” he said. “We talked about how we were going to, on the production side, develop Overwatch 2 alongside Overwatch.”

Unfortunately, this plan was derailed by the game’s many delays.

“I think the whole team was kind of upset and annoyed a bit with the timing of how everything got delayed. Goodman added, “There were a lot of reasons for it, it wasn’t just one thing.”

According to the interview, these delays came from production costs.

“It is a pretty constant topic for everything in the game, actually, production costs,” Goodman said. "I mean, Blizzard is not really a studio that is shackled to dates but that doesn’t mean we’re completely free from all concerns of production costs and time.”

Goodman says the hardest part of the delays was not being able to share ideas with the players. “It’s hard for us to have these ideas that we want to get out there, big changes, and we’ve sort’ve locked ourselves away a little bit.”

Goodman also mentioned how excited the team is to be once again putting out new content for players to enjoy such as a reworked Orisa and the game’s new PvE content.

Overwatch 2 comes at a time when Activision Blizzard is battling several controversies, including unionization and ongoing lawsuits. It is currently set to release on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, with the closed PVP beta available on PC on April 26. The full game does not yet have a firm release date, though with PvE and PvP being split, the competitive mode figures out to be sooner than the cooperative mode.

"I’m ready for us to rise above what’s happened and grow from it, don’t turn the corner and turn a blind eye to it, just be better," senior hero design Brandon Brennan says. "Get these games into the player’s hands and get them to be excited about something from us for once. I do think we’re approaching that moment, it at least feels that way to me."
