Sonic
Well hello there, old friend. I’m guessing you have something to do with the angry fanbase. Jokes aside, I find it disheartening that a character of Sonic’s calibre has endured such a relentless onslaught of terrible-to-mediocre games in recent years. Even after going back to games like Sonic Adventure 2, which was the recipient of any and all free time that my 11-to-12-year-old self managed to find, playing it again in my mature years has resulted in perceiving its several flaws, such as the less-than-impressive voice acting (not super important) or how badly rehashed the levels are from story to story (kind of important). There will always be saving graces such as the old 2D Sonic games and games like Sonic Heroes, but the blue blur’s significant decline simply isn’t something that can be ignored.

Attention PC Gamers: Get Ready To Be a Lawbreaker!
If you don't know the name Cliff Bleszinski, then I'm probably not surprised, but if you don't know his work then I'd be thoroughly surprised. Cliff is a legend in the field of video game design. His first game was unveiled when he was only seventeen. It was a point-and-click adventure called The Palace of Deceit: Dragon's Plight. This game impressed the founder of Epic Games so much that he brought Cliff onto the team and they brought us many shareware games like Overkill, Brix, Jazz Jackrabbit, Radix: Beyond the Void eventually turning to the incredibly successful Unreal Tournament. Cliff later turned his attention towards Microsoft's Xbox 360 and served as the lead designer for the Gears of War ensemble of games. It turned out to be one of Microsoft's early defining properties and earned Bleszinski universal acclaim.

Sorry, I couldn't resist a lame joke or two.
