Looking back at this topic I kind of want to throw out that even if Sonic had it's fair share of shit you can't deny that some of the games Sega churned out for him were actually good.
Take Sonic Colors, Unleashed and Generations for example. They may have their flaws, but those were the best games we got since SA2. That being said, those games have really managed to pull off what Sonic can do.
Far as Mario goes, Nintendo has also pulled their worst shit too. Especially considering that they used the stupid coin gimmick in one of Mario's recent titles and for what? A fucking statue? No. Just no to that. Mario has had shitty titles recently and whether or not Nintendo is to blame there, they are running low on ideas.
Then again I guess it's fair to say that ideas in the gaming world as of lately have been running dry. Truth be told there really isn't anything we haven't seen or played before and everyone's appeal to video games have been going down in the past few years. In truth you can't really blame anyone because we've already seen another Call of Duty or Bioshock, to another Mario and Sonic. This applies to all games.
If anything the golden years of video gaming are dying. And I'm not talking about how great old systems are or shit like that. I'm talking about the lack of anything new or mind blowing to make us be appealed by a simple video game we all can play. This is kind of why I've been searching for more creative titles instead of something I haven't seen.
