Although the posting of the Sonic Cycle did get a little obnoxious, it doesn't compare to the even worse "CYCLE BROKEN NURR NURR" responses because Sonic Colours was an average passable game and not broken terrible shit like thats some sort of achievement the fanbase's collective heart swells with pride over.
that's not being fair to sonic colors. a lot of attention was paid to level design, multiple paths, and how to play levels in multiple ways. the presentation was slick, the rewards were awesome, and the features were great. it's a good game- maybe even a great one.
sonic generations is also really good. its flaws are more apparent with a less tidy presentation, but it was full of stuff to do, and the good things were actually fucking great. some awesome levels in there.
