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...

Dark Souls: Remastered on PC Has Its Online Features Restored

-

FromSoftware has restored online features for the PC version of Dark Souls Remastered after the servers were taken offline earlier this year due to hacking concerns.

Online features for Dark Souls: Remastered, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 on PC were taken down in January this year after a “serious exploit” was discovered that allowed hackers to take control of player computers.

Over the following months Bandai Namco and FromSoftware worked to remove the exploit, and in August the Servers for Dark Souls 3 were successfully brought back online. Multiplayer services for Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin followed in October.

However, in the same Twitter thread FromSoftware revealed that, whilst Dark Souls: Remastered would eventually be brought back online, the original PC release - Dark Souls: Prepare to Die - would never have its online services restored.

“We have determined that we will not be able to support online services for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition that was released in 2012, due to an aging system,” tweeted the official Dark Souls account. “We apologize for the long wait and ask for your understanding in this matter.”

Now, a little under ten months since the servers went dark, FromSoftware took to the swirling maelstrom of chaos that is Twitter once more to reveal that it has finally restored the online features for Dark Souls: Remastered.

FromSoftware's Japanese language player support account elaborated further, stating in a tweet translated via Google, “The PC version of 'DARK SOULS REMASTERED' has completed its security vulnerability investigation and countermeasures, so the game server has been restored and online services have resumed.”

So, rejoice Souls fans, but also remember to pour one out on the bonfire for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare To Die, whose online servers were the playground for many a masochistic gamer.
