For Christmas I got 3 DVD's,personal stuff,and a house key. 2 of those DVD's were Chronicles of Narnia namely The Lion,the Witch,and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. Those 2 movies were based off of the books by C.S. Lewis who wrote 7 books in the series. Iwatched both of them on Christmas and how appropraite considering C.S. Lewis is a Christian,you can tell by all the symbolism used in his books,the Narnia septiliogy being no exception. C.S> Lewis wrote his books in a biblical manner to because though it makes sense how it's put it doesn't work chronologically
Alright,to the point
Chronicles of Narnia(C.S. Lewis)
Year(s):(1946-1956)
Publisher:HarperTrophy
Plot:12/20 (From what I can remember I liked the most of the plots,I don't remember liking The Last Battle,The Silver Chair,or Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Book 1 was loosely symbolic of The Crucifixition,Book 2 is symbolic of both Moses and the Israelites and the restoration of a religion[And since C.S. Lewis wasn't Mormon he was probably referring to the Protestant Reformation] All I remember from 3 was only Lucy and Edmund returned then they brought along a jerk of cousin and they went on voyage. For 4 they had to rescue Caspian's son from an evil witch[not the White Witch].Book 5 was a midquel to Book 1 which I like to think is like a slave who didn't belong wanted to escape to the North to be free[Narnia].Book 6 is like Genesis in the Bible. Book 7 was like Revelation[I liked Revelattion but this really,it sucked; Lewis killed all Narnia travelers except Susan literally and mortally wounded her spiritually]Though I'd give Books 1,2,5,and 6 perfect scores,the others sucked so bad that I can't honestly give the total more than 12)
Characters:12/20 (I liked all the Pevensies,except Susan she was a smart-alec,girly,goody-goody tu shus, and eventually too selfish,Eustace was a jerk,Jill seemed kind of 1D, aI liked Digory and Polly,Shasta was cool, Aravis was the perfect tomboy. Since Eustace,Susan,and Jill were terrible and Peter seemed like a smarty,bossy-pants at times,the score goes to 12,Aslan was the perfect Christ-like figure,and Jadis as Satan)
Settings: 20/20 (I lovecd the settings whether it be Telmar,Narnia,Calormen,the world of Charn was well done,but I wish Narnia lasted longer,why did Aslan destroy his own creation????)
Writing: 20/20(Easily some of the best literature out there,and easily classed in same category as Moby Dick or Jack London)
Final:16/20

Chronologically:The Godfather (Movies)
Books:Persepolis

Firefox and Wave Race 64
I've procrastinated one thing for too long,that being a review of the Firefox browser. I'm actually using such to blog so why not. On the other hand I've also got a video game to do
so once again I must do a dual-purpose. I'll star with the procrastinated
Mozilla Firefox
Presentation:20/20(Awesome presentation,it says " I'm amazing" all over it)
Features: 20/20 (I can't explain but one it in one word:AWESOME)
Reliability:20/20 (Even more reliable than Opera,this browser is fast and has never frozen)
Searching:20/20 (Searching is a breeze)
Final:20/20(Easily one the best browsers to work with,and one of the reasons I have not re-installed Opera)
Now for N64's first games,one of the best racing games and the only way I've experienced a jet-ski and for the record anything Mario that I've reviewed is developed by Nintendo EAD(Galaxy by Nintendo EAD Tokyo) and published by Nintendo. I do not review for lasting appeal as such that should be formed on your own and this game has no need for plot as it is merely racing.Mario Kart is always developed by Nintendo EAD except Super Circuit which was developed by Intelligent Systems.
Wave Race 64 (Nintendo 64)
Year:1996
Developer: Nintendo EAD
Publisher:Nintendo
Concept:20/20 (Jet-ski racing what better can you get)
Graphics: 16/20 (The racers and water look great as do the background,but the jet-ski's look a bit grainy and everything can look albeit blurry which is what most early N64 games looked like)
Average Track Score:10/20 (A bit bland but you can't do too much with water-based tracks,still I think more could have been done,why look at Wave Race:Blue Storm)
Multiplayer: 20/20 (The multi-player was more addictive than chocolate and certainly comparable to Mario Kart 64,I found that multi-player is the games main selling point)
Final:17/20 (For a jet ski racing game it doesn't get much better than this,Wave Race as a series is one of the better games on Nintendo systems,but also overlooked)
Up Next
Chronologically: Chronicles of Narnia (Books)
Video Games: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) and Legend of Zelda:The Phantom Hourglass (DS)

NES,SNES, and PlayStation
Yes,yes Uber Psycho Tom here I'm back.No I'm not on some vacation or anything like that. I had a good week so far.However on this blog I am in critique, not personal mode as such I must have something to critique. Thankfully I do have something. It's been awhile since I done anything in the consoles sections so here it goes. The first Nintendo's and The first PlayStation
This console came into the market at a time when homebound video games weren't trusted. All the companies went bankrupt,got sold,divided and so on,if you wanted to play video games you would have to rush off to the arcade. The makers of Donkey Kong were experiencing in Japan a rise in video games. Naturally they decided to expand their market,so they went to once legendary Atari and said " Hey can you help us market our system in America?". However they came at the wrong time; Atari was in shambles,it was a video game crash in America. Finding this out the hard way,Nintendo decide to sell the system themselves. They went to a toy company and made a fantastic deal. Soon enough the system was test launched in New York as a toy an entertainment system(hence Nintendo Entertainment System), no one thought it would work but soon enough it was a success and by Christmas,it was all over. This console is almost always,ALWAYS! put as #1 on best system lists.
NES
Games: 20/20 (If you wnat a system with quality games,and lots of it,this is your system whether it be Castlevania,Metroid,Legend of Zelda,or Super Mario Bros. you're sure to find something you like)
Graphics: 17/20 (Some games look so sloppy and atrocious while others are top-notch Super Mario bros. had very unfavorable graphics in my opinion but Kirby's Adventure looks like almost 16-bit,this coming from an 8-bit)
Design: 5/20 (Ugly,heavy,and though durable on the outside,it often can't fit the cartridges inside and sometimes it kills the cartridge, the cleaning kit is practically useless,get 10 systems if you can)
Technology: 20/20 (Good technology for ime like the lock-out chip that prevents illicit copies)
Final:16/20 (Great system,most influential system in the whole industry but it wasn't very reliable and graphics weren't always pushed,probably because most developers preferred Atari 2600 with it's jurassic graphics)
Eventually Atari came back and Sega and NEC joined the fray trying to take on NES. Atari didn't even try to get 3rd party support,Nintendo made a now illegal rule to make so if they published for Nintendo they could only publish for Nintendo.However that rule only was only applied in America,in Europe NES actually lost to SEGA but Nintendo still won overall. NEC then jumped in making a "16-bit" system(it was actually 8-bit but had graphics that were 16-bit),SEGA then made a successor which took NEC's limelight but failed tyo overthrow aging NES. Eventually NES got to old and out of date so Nintendo released a system technollogically superior to SEGA's Genesis. So eventually Sega couldn't say "Genesis does what Nintendon't" but Genesis had a lead and right before Super Mario World, SEGA came out with...... SONIC the HEDGEHOG which was the perfect defense.To this day there are guys who still remember the schoolyard fights of Genesis vs....
SNES
(Not me sadly,I was born just months after Super Mario Kart and was 3 years old when N64 replaced the SNES)
Games: 20/20 (It's hard to find a Nintendo without this score few exceptions being GameCube,Wii, and Virtual Boy,I mean every Nintendo has quantity and quality.SNES was the place for any kind of game my personal favorites being Super Mario Kart,Super Mario World,Star Fox,and Donkey Kong Country,oh and who can forget F-Zero)
Graphics: 20/20(One word:Deadly! I bet ya' the healthiest guy could have a heart attack looking at the magnificence of it all,Star Fox looks like it's 3D,Bubsy has the best 2D graphics possible[terrible game though] and Donkey Kong Country well,.... you could write a book describing the graphics of it[it would still be better than Twilight])
Design: 16/20 (Durable, lightweight, and reliable but the guys deciding on the color must've been color blind because it's dull gray and sharp tan with purple to top it off,not to mention it's so boxy)
Technology: 20/20 (Mode 7 was supreme,look what it did to early games like F-Zero, F-Zero and early 2-D Jaguar games are graphically similar and the FX chip made Star Fox the first "3D" game without vector graphics)
Final:19/20(This was one of the only systems that lived up to it's hype had the best graphics and best games[the winning systems usually don't have the best graphics and the losing systems often think they can win with graphics])
Ok I don't hate SONY but I hate what they've done to the video game industry. Before SONY video gaming was for kids that enjoyed that played games based on the playability and fun[which is what any gamer would agree with] but then they killed SEGA[when SEGA became a 3rd party publisher,their games went down in quality including our beloved hedgehog] put Nintendo on their knees and then they influenced Microsoft to enter. Also they encouraged adults that only care about graphics to play. To this day it's hard to find real games instead you get a graphics war.This started because SONY was gonna' help Nintendo beat SEGA but SONY ripped them off. Nintendo betrayed the company and eventually SONY worked on the unfinished project and turned it into the PlayStation just as Nintendo marketed NES themselves when Atari failed to help.Nintendo lost support when they decided to keep with cartridges rather than CD's like PlayStation. Square supported all the other systems of Nintendo but left them in favor of PlayStation.
PlayStation
Games: 10/20 (I'll admit I liked Frogger,Iron Soldier 3,Gran Turismo, Final Fantasies,and Spyro,but the others either were mediocre,sucked or had ports that were better on other systems[ex:Tomb Raider on Saturn,Quake II on N64,Rayman on Jaguar,etc.],however there was quantity)
Graphics: 12/20 (Downright ugly graphics,some games were comparable to 64 but they were often washed up and grainy,64 may have been blurry but there's more grainiess in one part of a PSX game than their is blur to an entire N64 game. In 2D N64 still beat PSX and of course Saturn was king of 2D graphics)
Design: 11/20 (Boxy,ugly,looks like a porta-potty bench,unreliable but compact and lightweight[Saturn was a lug])
Technology:0/20 (There was no innovative technology,CD media started in 1992 with Turbo Duo, thubsticks and rumble came out on N64 first,anything multimedia like started on 3DO, and yeah SONY copied everything with no inventing whatsoever)
Final:8/20(PS3 only got a 14 because no one can deny it's technological and graphical proweress but PlayStation the original had none of those edges,it didn't even invent what it had)
Favorite Games:
NES: Super Mario Bros. 2
SNES: Super Mario Kart
PlayStation: Final Fantasy VII

Independence Day and Milk
I was originally going to post a dual-purpose review of Mozilla Firefox and Independence Day.However today I have changed my mind mostly because I saw one of the best movies ever.
I'll still do Independence Day(1996) but this time I'll add Milk(2008). No not the liquid that comes from mammary gland and boobs. Uh no,I'm talkin' about the politician who became the first openly gay politician in the entire U.S..His name Harvey Milk
Now this is the second time I'm typing this up,the first time it damn froze up on me so I had to reboot the computer.This time I'm gonna save drafts like heck to ensure that I don't have to type it all up again.Anyway onto
Independence Day
Presentation:20/20 (I love how everything starts off perfectly normal but then it intensifies with weird signals and it gets weirder and weirder til' aliens are everywhere with a plan to destroy all humankind)
Plot:20/20 (It's not really just one plot but 4 plots that converge.One plot being the President trying to boost reputation which of course happens with that speech to resist the aliens.Another is a cable guy with some social issues.Another is about a crop duster who claims to have been kidnapped by aliens 10 years ago[he was right they do exist!].Finally you have a plot about a Captain[Will Smith] who is to be married soon until those aliens land then he's forced to get back to El Toro to fight those aliens]
Characters:20/20 (I like the characters,I wish the politicians in reality were more like these ones,actually working for the people not themselves)
Smith's Role: 20/20 (He's got some of the best lines ever and this is his best,Smith is easily at his funniest,I didn't think I'd say this but this is like Smith's answer to Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop)
Set:20/20(Look at the spaceship,nuff said)
Execution:20/20 (This film would be extremely weak if poorly executed,not like some of those films that are completely cheesy but funny like Pink Panther,more like the kind that if executed just wrongly it'll be terrible such as Home Alone[I mean we all know what would happen if those booby traps didn't spring right away])
Final:20/20
At last onto the movie I finally saw and looked forward to.Oh great my foots fallen asleep,I'd better do this quick before the rest of me does.I saw this on a class field trip
MILK
Presentation:20/20 (Starts off with the arrests of gays,then Feinstein's announcement of the assassinations and then if this is a sandwhich you've basically gotten past the outer hard part of the bread and reached the inner chewiness of the bread.Then you start hitting the lettuce as it flashes back into 1970 with Milk[Sean Penn] meeting one of his partners Scott Smith[James Franco])
Plot: 20/20 (After meeting Scott Smith,they live a good life in San Francisco until Milk decides to run for Supervisor which strains there relationship.Then he runs again and he has no partner.Both times he fails,then he tries again and he suceeds.He inspired one notorious activist known as Cleve Jones and eventually became "The Mayor of Castro".After Smith leaves him he finds a new partner who eventually hangs himself after feeling ignored and mistreated. Ultimatley, he and mayor George Moscone ge shot and killed by former Supervisor Dan White. I need say no more I don't wanna give the whole thing away)
Characters:20/20 (Good characters,Jack Lira[the guy who hangs himself] was alright a bit crazy but uh whaeva', I'm a crazy guy meself.Milk was hilarious and even Dan White was alright[still shoulda' gone to jail for premeditated murder] I feel sympathy for him.This can only go as far as potrayals)
Penn's Role: 20/20 (Star of the show and obviously the right man for it,and I'm not much for him either but he managed to pull Milk of quite nicely by adding so much emotion)
Franco's Role:20/20 (Very good at being the supporting character,if only I didn't see his butt at at one point[that's probably why it's R rated])
Brolin's Role: 20/20 (He plays Dan White,I like his potrayal of White ,adds a more psycho touch to him that I didn't find when looking up Dan White on Google)
Gabreel's Role:20/20 (Though he plays dumb character Ryan in High School Musical,he also potrays Dan Nicoletta who was a young adult at this time and he worked with Milk and Smith at the Castro Camera and helped Milk with his campagin for Supervisor)
Set:20/20 (It's filmed right S.F. with one shop being redone to film the Castro Camera scenes[don't worry the gift shop is where Castro Camera was so it's appropriate])
Execution:20/20 (I love how the scenes were put together,all the lead actors did what they needed,the ending left you captive with hope despite the fact that Milk was shot at the end,you don't see him get the final wound but you see him instead looking at the opera picture then keeling over)
Final:20/20 (I prefer darker movies than this and usually a little less graphical but,without the graphical stuff you might forget Milk's sexual orientation and it's real in real life I don't like sad,gruesome endings and no one does except of course Satan.This is probably the only R rated movie I'd ever wanna watch again[ok ok Pan's Labyrinth as well))
I've seen 3 R-rated movies (My Life in Pink which was about a transgender person and was only R rated because of tha),(Pan's Labyrinth a bit violent and lotsa' cussing but fictitious so I don't care I could do without the cussing though) and now Milk.

NUMBER ONE: BEST AND WORST VIDEO GAME MASCOTS
Well this is it,the moment a video gamer should be waiting for and would be if they read this blog.
Before I get to that lets look at the current list from Worst-to best or Best to worst.
Worst
5.Awesome Possum (Mascot of Tengen[aka Atari Games])
4.Gex the Gecko (Mascot of Crystal Dynamics)
3.Aero the Acrobat (Mascot of Sunsoft)
2. James Pond (Mascot of EA)
Best
5.Bonk(Mascot of NEC)[While they were briefly in the video game industry]
4.Banjo and Kazooie (Mascot of Rare)
3.Rayman (Mascot of Ubisoft)
2.Sonic the Hedgehog (Mascot of SEGA)
That's the list now I am free to get onto.....
NUMBER 1: WORST
I wouldn't know about this guy if it wasn't for Colter or Leffler. He starred on the Super Nintendo,Genesis, Jaguar, and PlayStation.Anyone playing video games in the 0's will remember him.Now some people actually liked him and his games.But a good I dunno NINETY-PERCENT didn't. Why because he had an over-dose of attitudde making him the most unlikeable character his games were tedious and you died on first try and the final game is the worst PlayStation game.Makes 17 on Seanbaby's 20 Crapstravaganza and 9 on my 10 poisonous video games. This guy is a bobcat with a stupid shirt and has stupid puns for everything but yet he can glide.Sadly he was the most successful of these clones.
Bubsy the Bobcat(Mascot of Accolade)
Attitude: -1/20 (That's right 0 is to good for him, most of these guys spoke too much and it sounded bad,this guy started off like that then ended up sounding like Julie Kavner on 500 gallons of Vodka)
Plot Average: 0/20 (The first one had no plot except to beat Rayons who were interrupting his nap,the 2nd one what plot????? the Jaguar game was he just had to fix up fairy-tales and it sucked[SEGA shoulda' thought of that before they made Sonic and the Secret Rings] and the final one was he's stuck on a planet and needs to build a rocket ship to escape the planet.There you have it Bubsy games have either no plot orterrible plots)
Move-Set: 0/20 (Unoriginal gliding,jumping that never works and uh that's it, oh yeah and dying in stupid ways like melting,going down with the ship,being electrocuted)
Items: 0/20 (YARN BALLS? ATOMS??????)
Aging: BEYOND TERRIBLE
Final:-1/20(His games are better than him,he shoulda' been in E.T. the Extraterrestrial instead of E.T.)
I'm glad that's out of the way.Now I can announce better news
Number 1:BEST
Like Sonic he had a very interesting start.Sonic started off as a drawing on a napkin thanks to him.He started off when Nintendo made a failed arcade game called Radar Scope.Desperatley they consulted a newbie to Nintendo called Shigeru Miyamoto[now he's a legendary icon in video game culture].Instead of making new cabinets he converted the current cabinets into what is now called Donkey Kong.With that success he went onto becoming the antagonist in Donkey Kong Jr, then he went onto his own game with Luigi called Mario Bros.. Then he debuted on NES with Super Mario Bros.(considered one of the best games ever)[18/20].Then he made the best 3D transition with Super Mario 64[20/20] and now has made an appearence on Wii. Over the years he has had time to change but he's kept his plumber occupation and overalls for ages.Now known as Mr. Videogame he is more recognized than even Disney's Mickey Mouse.
Mario(Mascot of Nintendo)
Attitude: 20/20 (Humble and willing to help anyone in need he must've been why SEGA wanted a more buff,"I'm so cool" mascot. Like he best mascots he doesn't talk much)
Plot Average: 20/20 (Sonic always has chaos emeralds, Mario's plots don't boil down to one thing.Peach is often the damsel to be saved but in the GameBoy games he has to save Daisy and take back his castle.In Super Mario Bros. 2 he must battle Wart but it's all a dream.Usually he has Bowser but not in that one.in 3 he must save 7 kingdoms.in World he must save Yoshi's Island.In 64 he must collect stars.In Sunshine he must clean up Isle Delfino,bring back all the shines and save Peach.In Galaxy he must save the Galaxies.As you can see the plots never get boring)
Move-set: 20/20 (Move-sets always change and stay interesting,in Bros. you have the basic jump formula,in 2 you pick up vegetables,in 3 you go back to jumping,in World ou can ride Yoshi,in 64 you can punch,kick,backflip,triple jump,sideflip and climb nets,in Sunshine you can squirt with FLUDD and ride Yoshi,in Galaxy you can Spin,Skate,and all sorts of goodies can happen)
Items:20/20 (In Bros. you have Fire Flowers,in 2 you have POW blocks and vegetables,in 3 you have Boots,Suits tha can able you to glide and stuff,in Land 2 you can jump high and fast as a rabbit,in World you can float with a P-Balloon,in 64 you can go invisible,walked underwater as Metal,and fly,in Galaxy you can become a ghost,fly as a honeybee,make ice and so many more. In New Bros., you can become extra huge or extra small, and bash others as a Koopa Shell)
Aging:Incredibly Well (Can hardly belioeve some of them are even old because they still feel intact)
Final:20/20(Even this doesn't do justice)
Hope y'all enjoyed this

The Mascot Countdown Continues
A week ago the computer was taken to be fixed.Now it is back.I Uber Psycho Tom last critiqued the Top 5 best video game mascots and......... The top 5 of the worst.I completed #'s 5 and 4 on best and worst. I hope to continue onto 2 and save the BEST and the WORST of all time for later.
The current Worsts are
5.Awesome Possum (Tengen)
4.Gex the Gecko (Crystal Dynamics)
Bests
5.Bonk (NEC)
4.Banjo and Kazooie (Rare)
Onto.......
NUMBER 3 : WORST
His games weren't actually that bad,they were below average but somewhat playable.But he himself sucks a bit like Gex the Gecko only much worse.His name sounds even worse. Alrighty then we have........
Aero the Acro-Bat(Mascot of Sunsoft)
Attitude: 3/20 (Oh my this was a travesty,he had so much attitude you might actually pity the "Evil Clown",Could almost rival Bubsy,but at first Bubsy could ignite curiosity,not so for Aero)
Plot Average: 0/20(I don't remember the 2nds plot but the firs one was to keep the circus he works in open from an "Evil Clown" and his sidekick,I looked up stupid in the dictionary and found a picture of this game.Circuses are cruel to animals Aero should be happy but no,besides a clown can't be evil because of that.Clowns are scary but pitiful but this is over the top, and Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel doesn't count)
Moveset: 0/20 (What moveset,gliding????? please any platforming rip-off can do that)
Items:0/20 (What items???)
Aging:Crappily
Final:3/20
Number 3:BEST
Unlike Bonk, he's fairly well known, a bit like Banjo in that sense. but unlike either of those 2 he's better known for his party games on Wii. His games are frickin' awesome and he's so charming. This limb-less hero made his debut on the failed Jaguar on one of my favorite games ever.(19.5) I believe is the score I gave it.Ya'll know him as.....
Rayman(Mascot of Ubisoft)
Debut: Rayman(Atari Jaguar,1995)
Attitude: 20/20 (Honestly, I like his attitude a bit odd but hey he seems like a charming character to get used to)
Plot Average: 20/20 (Awesome plots,in the first one he has to get help from fairies tyo save his world from Mr.Dark[Mr. Dark sounds like a great name for an antagonist because no one expects it to be so blatantly evil.I mean Bonk has King Drool,Bubsy has Esther,Aero has Edgar,Mario has Bowser,Awesome has Dr. Machino,and Sonic has Dr. Robotnik[aka Dr. Eggman].In The Great Escape he must find 4 masks to awaken a titan that will defeat invading Space Pirates. In 3 he must stop a corrupt Lum)
Move-set: 15/20 (Not a lot of cool moves but I like the limbless punch and the edge-hanging,and the hair copter. Where most mascots have quantity he has quality)
Items: 17/20 (He collects blue spheres called tings and lums in the 2nd I don't remember in the 3rd)
Aging: Mediocre(I'm saddened and dismayed to find that few people in this current day remember him for his platforming games,they aren't remembered.Rayman was a rare game for Jaguar but it was on PlayStation and Sega Saturn as well at the early days.Rayman 2 was on all contemporary platforms same with Rayman 3.Like I said his Wii games are the best remembered)
Final:18/20
Number 2 WORST
I always didn't think highly of EA but I never thought they make such an atrocious character. Apparently James Bond got so drunk he couldn't tell a woman from a fish because this is clearly the offspring I mean he acts like James Bond his levels are blatant rip-offs like "Leak or Let Die: or "The Ocean is not Enough" now I dodn't know if that last one is an actual name but it might as well be. I almost put his Aquatic Games game on my Bottom 10 list.
James Pond(Mascot of EA)
Debut: James Pond (MS-DOS,1990)
Attitude:0/20 ( Most of the time I don't even like James' Bond's attitude,you think I'm gonna like a blatant rip-off.And for those that do like his attitude well you wouldn't want a fish tarnishing it)
Plot Average: 0/20 (Ok first of all the first one didn't have much of a plot. In 2 Dr. Maybe[almost as retarded as Dr. Machino or Dr. Eggman{I call the latter Robotnik for that reason} kidnaps some penguins and toys. In 3 he must stop Dr. Maybe from building a stronghold on the moon made out of cheese otherwise the dairy industry will be monopoly[doesn't get any stupider than that,almost makes Aero's plot look....GOOOD????])
Moveset:0/20 (Probably just swimming and running and jumping pretty basic)
Items: 0/20 (Blatant rip-offs of James Bond)
Aging:Terrible
Final:0/20
Number 2 BEST
This one is obvious. Any 90's kid will remember this guy I watched his cartoons on Saturday he was the perfect anti-Mario. When Nintendo had Mario and NEC had Bonk SEGA had nopthing so they came up with him. He's a success with millions of fans,next you know other companies make a mascot and fail Tengen,Accolade,Sunsoft, and Crystal Dynamics I'm looking at you') ( I'd say EA but James Pond came 1st).Made his debut on the Genesis to rival the launch of Super Mario World has had mixed results over the years as he went to 3D.If you play his Genesis,Dreamcast,or SEGA CD games you'll know he desrves this spot.Lets hear for our favorite blue hedgehog.Appeared in 2 of my top 10 favorites(Sonic CD and 8-bit Sonic 2)
Sonic the Hedgehog(Mascot of SEGA)
Attitude: 20/20 (Unlike all those mascots after Bonk, though he has a "Look at my guns" attitude.It's actually lovable and could be considered the first mascot you could play without feeling stupid[James Pond],awkward[Bonk] or wussy [Mario] in the slightest bit.His success brought about some of the worst creations[like 4 of my bottom 5] but also a few good ones [Earthworm Jim and Rayman come to mind])
Plot Average: 19.5/20 (Though the reasons diverse it all boils down to Eggman using the chaos emeralds which means it can't be perfect. In fact only in Sonic CD do I remember seeing no Chaos Emeralds whatsoever. In Sonic Adventure 2 he uses it to make an Empire,in Sonic Unleashed they are corrupted and scattered.Other than that I love the plots)
Move-set: 20/20 (Gotta love the move set,it always varies just like Mario he really was the perfect Anti-Mario)
Items: 19.5/20 (His rings are a perfect response to Mario's coins but after that he has orbs, and Super Sonic that's it)
Aging: N/A (His 2D games never get old and have aged considerably well,but after the Dreamcast games and ports based off them, 3D Sonic doesn't age[Shadow the Hedgehog is an ok game but I can't see the game being a well loved game 10 years later])
Final:20/20
The finals will be posted tomorrow morning until then this is to be continued
The current Worsts are
5.Awesome Possum (Tengen)
4.Gex the Gecko (Crystal Dynamics)
