Despite many of his more recent titles being widely regarded as crap games, Sonic the Hedgehog still holds a big place in the hearts of gamers in the UK, it seems.
Leading up to this year’s London Games Festival (starting this Friday - 24th), a poll was held to find out which gaming character was the best, and Sonic came top place, with nearly a quarter of all votes going to our blue, spikey, speed-freak.
To be honest I’m not sure how the voting was held, or how “official” it all is, but it’s always great to see Sonic win something.

If Sonic the Hedgehog was real

I know hedgehogs aren’t blue, but I guess some talented artist decided to remind us again. What I don’t understand is why he is so freakishly strong? Sonic was always either lean or a bit chubby, never Hulk’s son. I’m no Sonic expert, but it looks like they also got his shoes all wrong.
So if Sonic was real he’d look like a crack addict that happens to be a body builder?
