Playing the handheld 2-D games Dimps made and the dreaded Next-Gen Sonic for PS2 and XBox360 pretty-much killed Sonic for me. With something like Shadow the Hedgehog, it was a ridiculously stupid idea, and would still have been one even if it was a good game. However, I enjoyed the Genesis and Dreamcast Sonic games (at least the main ones; I'm naturally excluding stuff like 3-D Blast or Shuffle), so when they make a games around the same sort of good ideas as that, on far more powerful platforms, and they still end up loads worse, you get the feeling SEGA can't do anything right anymore.

I did actually enjoy Sonic Chronicles, but that game wasn't actually made by SEGA, and it wasn't a traditional Sonic game.
