-

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...

Valve Responds to #SaveTF2, Says Its Working on Improvements

-

Valve has responded to a growing Team Fortress 2 community movement in protect of the game's massive botting problem, and is reassuring players it is "working to improve things."

In a tweet today from the official Team Fortress 2 account, Valve said "TF2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things." It is the first tweet from the account since July 2020 (not counting a single retweet of an official Valve tweet from October 2020).

This comes in response to the hashtag #SaveTF2, which the Team Fortress 2 community has adopted in the last few days to draw attention to a massive botting problem that has been ongoing in the game since 2020. The hashtag has been adopted by a large number of Team Fortress 2 streamers and is described as a "peaceful" protest about the state of the game. The bot infestation has caused Team Fortress 2's casual servers to be overun with spam messages, flawless snipers, and more recently bots that can crash entire games or orchestrate coordinated kicking of human players. Previously, community leaders organized an emailing campaign to reach out to Valve and media outlets to shed light on the issue.

While individuals using the #SaveTF2 hashtag may have different motives, largely the group has simply been hoping for some level of acknowledgement from Valve, ideally coupled with a fix. Others hope that renewed attention on Team Fortress 2 may result in the game getting regular updates again given the large community clearly still interested. Despite being over a decade old, Team Fortress 2 remains incredibly popular and has consistently averaged between 70,000 and 90,000 concurrent players every month for the last year.

For now, it's unclear what improvements Valve has up its sleeve, but hopefully they can get Team Fortress 2 into a more stable state.
