The 10 Best Sonic Games

-

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...

This May Be the Last PlayStation-Exclusive Content Call of Duty Ever Gets

-

Activision has unveiled PlayStation-exclusive content coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 — potentially the last PlayStation-exclusive content Call of Duty will ever get.

Modern Warfare 3 is set for an exclusive operator called Lockpick, who comes with a variety of related items. PlayStation owners who pre-order Modern Warfare 3 get the bundle, which includes a unique knife and SMG, at launch in November. Promotional material confirms this content is exclusive to PlayStation platforms for a year, until November 9, 2024.

Microsoft’s long-running pursuit of Activision Blizzard reportedly ends next week with the imminent completion of its $69 billion buyout of the company behind Call of Duty. While Microsoft has secured an agreement with console rival Sony for the provision of Activision games on PlayStation for a decade, it seems unlikely Phil Spencer and co will want to give Call of Duty players a reason to favour the PlayStation version over the Xbox version after this year’s contractual obligations are satisfied.

A court document published as part of the summer’s Microsoft versus Federal Trade Commission (FTC) trial revealed Modern Warfare 3 is the last game covered by Sony’s contract with Activision, which means fresh marketing is set to commence with whatever Call of Duty game Activision has up its sleeve for late 2024.

If Modern Warfare 3’s PlayStation-exclusive content is the last of its kind, it marks the end of an era that has seen Call of Duty and Sony carve out parts of the shooter since 2015. Since then, PlayStation consoles have seen maps, weapons, and even modes given over to timed exclusivity, with PlayStation branding plastered on Call of Duty marketing material. As has been the case in recent years, PlayStation also gets a timed exclusive on Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer beta, which kicks off this weekend.

It’s worth noting PlayStation’s Call of Duty exclusivity period followed five years of Xbox timed exclusivity for Call of Duty. In 2010, Microsoft and Activision signed a multi-year agreement to bring Call of Duty game add-ons and map packs first to Xbox Live. As Sony’s timed exclusivity for Call of Duty on PlayStation 4 defined the last generation, Microsoft's timed exclusivity for Call of Duty on Xbox 360 defined the generation before that.
