The Sonic franchise has had it’s fair share of highs and lows over the last 20 years of titles. The the extreme highs of beautiful graphics and fast paced gameplay that were seen in the first three games, to the disappointing lows of countless spinoffs and failed tentative steps into 3D plains. But while the past 20 years spent with the worlds most famous blue hedgehog have had their fair share of disappointments, it looks like we will be celebrating Sonics 20th birthday with a bang.
In 2006, SEGA revealed Aliens: Colonial Marines to the gaming world. Since then, we have not seen much from the game other than some screen shots, a teaser trailer and continuous delays, but finally we are going to get to see this game. SEGA and Gearbox Software have announced that Aliens: Colonial Marines will be releasing in Spring 2012.
In an official release today, SEGA has announced London 2012: The Official Video Game of The Olympic Games. The game is being published by SEGA and International Sports Media. London 2012 will make it possible for everyone to make Olympic history, and feel what it is like to participate in the most prestigious sporting in the world. The game will include over 30 events, and allow you to compete against people from all over the world through online leaderboards.
Ever since the Playstation Move was announced, I have been wishing that The House of The Dead series would come to the PS3. I just knew it would work so great with the move. Today my wishes have come true as SEGA has announced that The House of The Dead: Overkill-Extended Edition is coming to the PS3 with both Move and 3D support.
I gave a first look at Sega Rally Online Arcade last week, but now I have put in some decent game time on this arcade classic it’s time for the final verdict.
Do you remember putting coin after coin into Sega Rally at your local arcade? Me neither, but these ageing rally titles are becoming something of classics. So much so that sega has decided to release a remake of a couple of there most beloved titles. SEGA Rally Revo and SEGA Rally 3 to be exact. But while these games may have been great fun in their times, the real testament to a classic, is when it can withstand the test of time.
Sonic is turning 20 this year, and With this being his 20th birthday, the hedgehog is going to do what all 20 year olds do on such a momentus occasion. Yep he’s going to Vegas with the guys to get sh …………Na not really.. he is releasing another game. Besides hedgehogs have to be 21 to gamble, it’s the law!
It looks like Playstation 3 owners will have some extra incentive to purchase Virtua Tennis 4. SEGA has announced that the Playstation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 4 will come with exclusive content. This content will be available to access the day the game releases.
You know what? I’ll call it: 2011 will usher gaming into new realms. From 3D gaming, the Kinect revolution, which, by the way, technology developer PrimeSense is taking to PCs. We have the PSP2, the 3DS and probably the WiiHD or Wii2 coming all this year. That’s on the hardware side of things alone.
As for software, 2011 trumps all the years before it like a bulldozer ridding a piece of land of its grass. This year alone we’ll have Killzone 3, Gears of War 3, another Call of Duty, not to mention Black Ops DLC. Bulletstorm, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, inFamous 2, Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2 and so on.
Thankfully, GameInformer’s forged up a massive list featuring a release schedule for all platforms this year, including the DS and PSP. Apparently, according to the author, Far Cry 3 will be released in August of this year. Don’t know where he got that from so we’ll have to wait to hear more.
Either ways, hit the link, I think you’ll get to understand better why gaming’s all the buzz this year, and why it’ll leave many a gamer broke. Dead broke.
Why oh why Sega do you tease us but never demonstrate anything solid? We’re like kids, then, waiting for a happy meal that was promised but end up leaving the fast-food joint hungry.
Even so, Sega West boss Mike Hayes has gone on record stating as far as its concerned, Shenmue III is never off the table, saying “never say never” to the likelihood.
So you thought Sega’s been on a downward spiral ever since Alpha Protocol flopped, and the games prior, (save Bayonetta) haven’t performed less than expected? Sega’s paying you no mind. In fact, coming soon will be two big game announcements targeting the hardcore crowd.
At least that’s what the publisher told CVG.
Ah Vanquish, many a gamer have been brushing off the TPS as another attempt to win money from the Western gamer, after all, the developers themselves said that Vanquish is geared more towards gamers in that region of the world.
But could the game be more than what we expect? Could Vanquish really turn out to be a serious contender for TPS of the year? Apparently, the guys at Insomniac Games are really enjoying it. You know Gears of War right? Right, then think of Vanquish as said title with a heavy does of “crack”.
You are excited about Vanquish are you not? Below the break are the confirmed dates for the TPS title.
Sega was one of the big publishers set to make a splash at Gamescom in August, but the company has suddenly changed its mind.
So both Sony and Nintendo are pushing the 3D revolution extremely hard right? Yes, Nintendo released the 3DS to much fanfare at E3, and Sony presented a nice portion of its presser in 3D. The hardware giant is also making 3D a “company-wide” initiative for all its studios to “look into” the technology, and find ways to mesh it into everything.
Well that’s good and all but let’s hope the thing’s not just a ‘passing craze’, because although many have lauded the step Sony and Nintendo have taken, there are many who’ve also pointed out the glaring disadvantages.
