Nnnnnooooo, The Escapist still remains as one of the relatively sensible places out there. Kotaku is bottom of the freaking barrel, man.
In terms of content? Yeah they're better than Kotaku, but anything they can pimp they will pimp until it falls down from exhaustion.

I dunno, I'm not partial to any of these sites ('cept maybe ScrewAttack though lord knows, they'll probably disappoint at some point), but they're way more disciplined than Kotaku.

Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig, the founders of screwattack, Craig suddenly founded it as a company against Tom's wishes so Tom walked and their content has been terrible ever since. Also I met them at a convention and they don't care about their fans from what I saw.

They said Superman would beat Goku.

Ergo, Screwattack has nothing of value anymore and should vanish from the face of the net.

So a game with schoolgirls, pandas, grizzly bears, kangaroos, robots, raptors, angels, demons, living wooden practice dummies and a whole cavalcade of other bizarre characters is totally fine, but GOD FORBID A CHARACTER IN A CATGIRL COSTUME! I mean, if you don't like her, don't pick her, what the fuck? Flat out having the character removed? That's a bit excessive.

I would just like to single out this bit to say this has literally never been an excuse in any kind of protest ever, for a large number of reasons - ranging from "waste of time that could be better spent making stuff people actually like" to "just because I can opt not to use her doesn't mean others won't use her online". Granted, I still find the outrage goddamned surreal coming from fans of the franchise with a fucking playable bear without batting an eyelid all kinds of hilarious, but even when they don't have a decent point this logic is a cheap cop out that benefits absolutely nobody.

In other news, it turns out Sonic isn't the only thing Sega has in mind for movie adaptations.

Of the vast library of titles that Stories has the rights to adapt, it’s moving forward with “Altered Beast,” “Streets of Rage,” “Shinobi,” “Rise of Nightmares” and “Crazy Taxi” first as English-language live action and animated spinoffs. “Virtua Fighter” and “Golden Axe” also are part of the portfolio of properties.
I don't know what puzzles me more - that they're putting all their eggs in one basket before even seeing how Sonic fares, that they think they can make a film adaptation of fucking Crazy Taxi of all things, or that they even have the money to put forward that many films to start with.

There's already a film franchise called Taxi; they're pretty much movie adaptations of Crazy Taxi as is. I think what's more perplexing for me is that they're willing to bring out these old properties to develop into movies as opposed to releasing new games for them, or even making remakes. Yes, I'm still bitter about how Sega Japan shut down Sega Australia when they had developed perfectly awesome remakes of all their Genesis classics, to the point where they created a storyline that would tie the franchises together as part of one universe.

As for my statement being weak, every game has shitty characters, especially fighting games. At the end of the day though, they're not your characters, they're the creator's, and they probably had a number of reasons to make this character, the least of which was because THEY wanted to. More often than not, given time, people come to enjoy and appreciate these characters and maybe just come a little closer to understanding the motive behind their existence. It might look like a bad investment or waste of resources to one person, but another may actually enjoy and appreciate it.
