Review: Sonic Generations (360/PS3)

I’m going to be honest. I’ve been a big Sonic fan since 1991. The Genesis classics were platforming perfection. I also enjoyed the Dreamcast years with Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, as well as Sonic Heroes. While none were perfect, each tried to capture the essence of a Sonic game. When Sega...
