Sonic the Hedgehog Contest .. And the Winners Are….
When we announced the Sonic photoshop contest, I honestly didn’t expect to get some of the quality work from you guys that we received. Believe me, picking just 5 winners was hard, very hard. So below are not only the 5 winners, but also some bonus pictures that were near winners and deserve to be seen, they were quite amusing. Lets get this started.
First Place: Loved this piece, you got the gold Sonic turning into the blue Sonic right when PacMan bit the pill, so simple, yet executed well, congrats!
Second Place:Loved the detail’s of the cars hitting in the background shooting off the coins, quality on this was top notch. Click on the pic below to experience in its full size.
Third Place: I was surprised at not more Gears of War ones, but its okay, because this entry saved the day by not only being nice quality, but brought teh funny. Click on the pic below to experience in full size.
Fourth Place: Simple idea, pulled off perfectly, got a giggle out of me, and the caption helped a lot with the sarcasm, nice job for an underrated game (Dead Rising folks!)
Fifth Place (A TIE!!!): How can there be a tie you say, well, it is because h00d00 entered a million times! For the most part his were all top quality too. In fact I couldn’t just pick one of his entries as the top five, so I went ahead and gave up two spots for him (don’t worry, he is still only getting one copy of Sonic). Now this first one just was such an obvious choice to have as an entry, c’mon, Sonic, in a race, basic, yet perfect. Click on the picture to enlarge to full size)
h00d00’s second entry came close to home with me, because it touched on an issue I remember covering not too long ago, about the XBLA game Durandal and people getting motion sickness (link)
So there are the five (and a half) winners! Hope you agreed, if not, drop a comment. I also want to leave you with some of the ones that didn’t get to the top five, but damn, they are well worth a mention and a view:

And yeah, a couple of more from h00d00 (dude, you do good work!). Click to enlarge the below image.
Thanks again for all who entered! Great work! Take your photoshopping skills and make sure you are entering a chance to win Grand Theft Auto IV (or possibly another game of your choosing). Click here to find out more! Big thanks to Sega for making sure all this could happen!

Word. Seriously, these guys went all out on some of them (ie Second Place burn out) along with all the way with a joke (First Place.. which was not only funny, but perfectly done). Congrats to all, I really do hope you all enter for the making our logo for the site.

I have intentions of entering the logo contest, although I doubt I churn out the same amount of entries this time…
Thanks for the win. I tied with myself… that is funny.
