Welcome to Sonic Blast!

If this is your first visit, please enjoy your stay and check out our many entertaining topics of discussion. Listed below is our latest news updates from the Sonic Headlines section.

Okay so Sonic Adventure was okay although it felt rather rushed and sloppy. Then we got Sonic Adventure 2 which introduced some rather awkward characters with some less then stellar voice acting and on top of that no more adventure field. Plus you were now forced to play all the gameplay modes instead of just being able to pick. Then came Sonic Heroes which was bogged down by atrocious voice acting as well as an incredibly awkward team system. Then came........Sonic 06 I think. there is no need for me to rant about this game. We all know. Sonic and The Secret Rings showed up and the controls felt rather awkward and the game just didn't feel like a Sonic game. Then came Sonic Rush which felt like just a 2d racing game. it wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. the same thing goes for the Sonic Advance games. Then came Sonic Chronicles ah yes the first Sonic game in ten years to actually get me hooked. I looooove that game. The battle system is perfect the storyline unfolds perfectly and the new characters and characters I previously didn't like actually managed to interest me. Then we got Sonic Unleashed. two words were hog. it ruined the game for me. Then Sonic and the Black Knight showed with a horrible storyline and even worse controls. So yeah that basically sums up why I can't stand Sonic today. keep in mind this is just my opinion. Long live Saturn Sonic!

So a friend of mine who`s too lazy to get an account here and ask this question himself, wants to know how he would acquire Omochao mag in Phantasy Star Online for GameCube.

Self Explanatory. You can pick 1.
Explain why too please.
I say Sonic CD cause it is epic winz.

While I'm sure the title of this topic will undoubtedly spark irrelevant quality arguments that will make me facepalm, I've still found some stats that I think are interesting enough to share.

First is the amount of money that Sonic was able to wrack up in 2008. He was the 11th biggest seller last year, having made a fair $163 million. With only four games having contributed to the amount, that really wasn't a bad fiscal year for the hedgehog or Sega, now was it?

Now while we all know that Sonic is a seller, did you ever wonder how much time on average people play the games? Apparently, Nintendo releases stats on the Wii Channel that show their average playtime of the 2.4 million users who actually contribute their play times per week. As of July 1st, Sonic ranks as follows--

Sonic Unleashed (November 2008) – 14 hours, 16 minutes
Sonic and the Black Knight (March 2009) – 12 hours, 3 minutes
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (November 2007): 11 hours, 25 minutes
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (January 2008) – 11 hours, 1 minute
Sonic and the Secret Rings (February 2007) – 10 hours, 24 minutes

-- Again, not bad at all. Nice to be reminded every once in awhile that the hedgehog still gets some love.
