Sonic Unleashed is easily the best recent entry into the Sonic series, but that's hardly saying much when getting smacked around the head with a brick wrapped in your own intestines is a more entertaining prospect than enduring Sonic's previous outing. It seems pretty common these days to see the gaming press making fun of Sega's blue mascot, simply because Sonic Team have repeatedly paraded an endless series of disappointing decisions and failed expectations to the point that they've reached a critical mass of turgidity. It's enough to make any discerning gamer's stomach tie itself into knots. Sega are having another go with Sonic Unleashed, the first real entry into the series in two years, and a game with just enough merit underneath its heaping stacks of offal that it's enough to make anyone over the age of twenty who grew up with a Mega Drive want to crawl into their bed and cry.
Sonic The Hedgehog has had a long and storied history over the past decades, but which are the best Sonic games ever made?
If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.
And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.
I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.
Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.

SPC celebrates the occasion with a special top ten list, presenting the site's picks for the very best of the Blue Blur's biggest and boldest titles. After you've checked out the picks here, which Sonic games would you select as your personal favorites?"
wheres sonic 06 lol. I know im in the minority but if you can look past all the glitches I actually liked the game.
Hmmm, this is kinda cheating, but I would rate Sonic 3 & Knuckles as #1, rather than having the two games separately occupy #2 and #3.
That was literally the only game I played for YEARS.
In any order
Sonic Adventure 1
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Shuffle
Sonic Generations
Sonic Lost World
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
