-

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...

PlayStation Plus Game Catalog Will Include Skyrim: Enhanced Edition and All the Kingdom Hearts

-

Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus tier will add more to its Game Catalog offerings on November 15, including The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition and the entire Kingdom Hearts saga.

PlayStation Plus launched its new tiered service back in June, and Game Catalog access applies to the Extra and Premium levels. November's update includes 16 new titles available to active subscribers, with a few major RPG and action titles thrown into the mix.

It's not the fancier Anniversary Edition, but the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition for PlayStation 4 and 5 is one of the bigger titles joining the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this month. It's missing some of the new content and graphic updates added in the Anniversary release, but the Skyrim Special Edition is still an improvement on the original.

For those fine with the older upgrade, the IGN 8/10 Skyrim Special Edition review noted: "It still includes many of the original version’s bugs, ugly character models, and weak combat animations, but the memorable world benefits hugely from improved lighting and effects."

Square Enix and Disney's RPG series also joins the Game Catalog library with Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, and Kingdom Hearts 3 — that's a mouthful. Between the collections, that's nine games from the series in total.

IGN has mostly praised the series, giving the original Kingdom Hearts 1.5 collection an 8.5/10, and the 2.5 Remix followed up with an 8.4/10 review. As for Kingdom Hearts 3, IGN said it's "a fulfilling evolution and resolution of the franchise that shows it’s still full of heart."

The Oddworld title is a remake of an older, bizarre '90s platformer IGN thought had "tons of charm." Oddworld: Soulstorm - Enhanced Edition brings upgrades to the original experience, including a new game mode, Toby's Escape, released for both Sony platforms.

The Tom Clancy series will also see additions like Rainbow Six Siege, released in both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint along with The Division 2 join as older titles originally for PlayStation 4 only, but new-gen console owners can still enjoy them on their upgraded hardware.

Finally, space-combat shooter Chorus and time-bending platformer The Gardens Between are being added as PlayStation 4 games, but have their own PlayStation 5 upgrades to boot. PlayStation 4 titles What Remains of Edith Finch, Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain, Earth Defense Force World Brothers, and Onee Chanbara Origin will also hit Game Catalog later this month.

As for the usual PlayStation Plus games added for free every month, November brings Nioh 2, LEGO Harry Potter Collection, and Heavenly Bodies to the rotation.
