Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

SEGA's biggest sellers...

Here's the link. What really caught my eye was a comment a reader made:

"I remember a customer asking me "Do you have any games with Mario's little friend in it? My kids really love him!""Little friend... you mean Yoshi? The green dinosaur?""No, that doesn't sound right...""Wario, maybe? The 'Smooth Moves' and 'Shake It' games are pretty popular...""No, that's not him either... oh, here he is! *points to Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games*""Oh, wow, Sonic. I would have never guessed."And I died a little bit on the inside. The guy that used to be Nintendo's biggest thorn in it's side, the guy who used to convince us that Sega does what Nintendon't, the guy that made us all convinced "Blast Processing" was what made the Genesis superior to the Nintendo... is now reduced to "Mario's Little Friend".What happened, Sega?"

Poor Sonic. Used to be awesome, but your own creators ruined you.

    at the risk of responding to a link with another link, this really sums it all up.

    I remember those days when Mario and Sonic were the two big rivals...
