-

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...

Turn 10's Alan Hartman Promoted to Head of Xbox Game Studios

-

The Microsoft-Activision Blizzard acquisition continues to shake up leadership at Xbox. Alan Hartman, former leader of Turn 10 has been promoted as the new head of Xbox Game Studios.

Hartman announced his promotion on LinkedIn overnight Tuesday, and Twitter/X user Idle Sloth spotted the post on Wednesday afternoon.

"Thrilled to be representing such an elite set of game creators in my new role leading Xbox Game Studios!" Hartman wrote.

Hartman had been the head of Turn 10 since 2005, and spent the last two years as corporate vice president of Forza and Fable. During his time at the studio, he oversaw the release of games in the Forza series and the development of the ForzaTech engine, with Turn 10 shares with Forza Horizon developer Playground Games. That same engine is currently being used to develop the Fable reboot.

Hartman's promotion to head of Xbox Game Studios comes nearly a month after Microsoft closed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, bringing the publisher's entire game library into its fold, including Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Crash Bandicoot. He will succeed Matt Booty, who has been promoted to president of gaming content and studios, overseeing ZeniMax and Bethesda.

Other leadership changes at Xbox include Sarah Bond being promoted to president of Xbox, making her the first Black woman in Xbox's 22-year history to hold the position; Joslyn Main as chief of staff at Xbox; and Ami Silverman as chief consumer sales officer at Microsoft. Bobby Kotick will remain CEO of Activision Blizzard until the end of 2023.
