By Michael McWhertor Resonance of Fate is role-playing game developer tri-Ace's first game for Sega, its first not to be published by Japanese RPG giant Square Enix. It may also be the first Japanese role-playing game to feature dogs in neck ties. The battle scenes tend to veer a bit closer to what one expects fro...

By racketboy This is a direct port of the NES version of the same name, which was ultimately a clone of The Legend of Zelda(and again, an adventure game to me).  And direct port is correct: nothing was updated, so expect NES-quality graphics and sound.  Also, it’s a Wisdom Tree game, so expect having to con...

By Edward@Sega Like many who have posted comments the past few days, my memories of my SEGA Genesis are very fond ones. Although I owned a SEGA Master System before it, the Genesis was the first system–in fact, the first big-ticket-anything–that I saved up for on my own (when I was something like 11 years ol...

By Stephen Totilo Sega's core Sonic target, in fact, isn't those who grew up with Sonic. It's those who are growing up now. "It very much is in that under 12 group," Hayes said. "And what we have to do is make a Sonic that is of a quality that delights that audience, first and foremost. I'd argue that we very much achie...

By Chris Barraclough We do indeed have our opinions, and hopefully Sega will actually begin listening to them some time soon. Ratcliffe continued by saying the company is open to the possibility of another 2D side-scrolling Sonic title, which could be made available via digital download.

By Graham Just yesterday Sega announced and released the original Streets of Rage for the iPhone/iPod Touch and it’s already receiving some pretty harsh reviews.  According to Touch Arcade, there are performance issues/bugs that makes the game “unplayable” on the iPhone 3GS - just take a look at...

By Mike Fahey HIgh Voltage an Sega seek to take on the mantle of the Nintendo Wii's signature first-person shooter with The Conduit. Have they succeeded? Let us channel the assembled game critics through The Conduit and see what comes out the other end.

By Michael McWhertor When former Sonic Team lead Yuji Naka left Sega to form the semi-independent Prope, he said the studio would focus on "original entertainment." Prope's first major release, Let's Tap, is certainly original, packing five multiplayer focused mini-games into one title.

By Graham Even if some of their more recent console games have been less-than-stellar, one of the things that Sega has always been best known for is creating some cracking arcade titles.  Virtua Tennis became a much loved franchise, with the first three titles seeing success on both the arcade and c...

By Graham “Dreamcast Arcade Cabinet. My name is Tjerk Otten and am a graphical designer from the Netherlands. First off I want to give my love to SEGA. I just love SEGA and the Dreamcast the most. Its the best console out there. I have all next gen consoles, but I still play my Dreamcast the most .

By RubyEclipse First up is something that speaks to me personally. Back before I started at SEGA, I played a game called Shenmue on the Dreamcast. I didn’t own an Xbox at the time, but I loved the story so much that when I heard Shenmue II was coming to the Xbox, I knew I’d be getting one at some point. While myself a...

By George Platinum Games has huge pressure to deliver with MadWorld, since it is their first game as a independent studio and first game under the Sega banner. Did it live up to the hype? The game starts. … Waggling, future of gaming? Level design matters too … Games are suppose to look and sound pretty….

Now there is a MA 15+ game that grabs the Wii audience by the Nunchucks and hurls copious buckets of blood at them. Time to enter MadWorld. Currently I am playing two SEGA published games; one is an in depth simulation of mans 18th century war ... Nintendo Life - Chicago Sun-Times

By Lee Bradley Downloadable content for Valkyria Chronicles is on its way. Sega have confirmed that not one, not two, but three separate DLC packs will hit the PS3 exclusive strategy-RPG this Spring. Sega said, “The three new packs include Hard EX Mode, Edy’s Mission ‘Enter the Edy Detachment’, and Selv...

By Jim Sterling Sega has an amazing legacy and a library of fantastic, cherished franchises that remain among the most memorable experiences in gaming history. Then we get something like Shadow the Hedgehog, and everything turns to brittle rust and dried, blackened blood.

By Graham It is also very bizarre that Sonic 3 cannot ‘lock-on’ to Sonic and Knuckles.  Sega came up with a pathetic excuse recently, which many Sega Nerds soon quashed.  Sega was able to do the lock-on feature in Sonic Jam on the Saturn, the Sonic Mega Collection last generation and hackers can do it fo...

By Kellie Before we delve into the game-specific roundups, I wanted to point out a cool video and article from Nerve. They visited our NYCC booth and got some video of The Conduit, Sonic and the Black Knight, and The House of the Dead: Overkill. The House of the Dead: Overkill The Conduit

By rss@youtube.com (TheLegend2600) This is my review for Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn. I toss in a little bit of Virtua Fighter Remix, but not too much...just enough to make mention of it. Btw, yes I know Virtua Fighter 2 came out on the arcades, but it was also ported to the Sega Saturn as well. For those of you who've been watching a...

By Chris Greenhough Sonic + 3D" is a formula that Sega has scratched its head over for the best part of a decade with ... not a great deal of success. If you ask me, it's the speed factor. Controlling the nippy hedgehog in two dimensions is hard enough. Add a third, and it becomes a twitchy, frustrating experience.

By George LYON, FRANCE – 2 December 2008 – Atari is teaming up with Japan’s Q Entertainment to bring three of music game legend Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s award winning titles together in one retail pack. With the working title Q3 (Qubed), the pack is scheduled for worldwide release in spring 2009 bringin...

By Mark Brown Everything outside of the Sonic the Hedgehog levels is pure, unadulterated trash, charmless bullshit that stings of Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic’s most recent Xbox 360 exploit.

By George If you’re in the mood you can even play the game in Japanese, if you find the English voices to be annoying. There is also an optional installation that copies about 3.5GB of data to the PlayStation 3’s hard drive, decreasing load times.

By Mike Fahey Sega drove a sketchy tank onto the rather barren field of PlayStation 3 RPGs with Valkyria Chronicles, the turn-based strategy affair that's been turning heads ever since the Japanese debut trailer hit the web last year. With the extremely attractive CANVAS graphics engine giving the g...

By Thom Dinsdale Back in the early 90’s Sonic the Hedgehog was one of gaming’s most iconic characters. As SEGA battled with Nintendo for lead in the console market (oh how times have changed) it was that spikey blue blur which lead the company’s charge.

By Kris Pigna No one much knows what Yuji Naka has been up to ever since leaving Sega and starting his own studio, Prope, in 2006. But now a new teaser image on a joint Prope/Sega website is giving the world a hint, and it's...well, really weird. As you can see on the page for yourself, it boldly features the image...

The retail price of Sega Rally has dropped significantly since launch, so it might be an idea to split the cost with a friend to get some split-screen arcade racing in, because better offerings are available for the full price of entry. At a budget price, however, Sega Rally is good for a few m...

By Matthew The studio was set up in 2005 in Birmingham, England. It’s main focus was an update to the Sega Rally series called Sega Rally Revo, which saw releases across Xbox 360, PS3, PC and PSP in 2007 receiving good reviews averaging 74/100 and above.

By James first checked out SEGA Superstars Tennis about a month ago at SEGA’s Sweet Celebration event, which also showcased Condemned 2: Bloodshot and Viking: Battle for Asgard. The game played kind of like Wii Tennis on the Wii, but we were curious to see how it played on the Xbox 360. Read on to find o...

By Michael McWhertor Condemned 2: Bloodshot is developed by Monolith, published by Sega and released on March 11. Retailers for $59.99. Available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, reviewed on Xbox 360. Played single player campaign to completion, tested multiplayer modes.

Sony Bans PSP Homebrew Talk on Forums Comment by: Tarislar 1) Homebrew has many LEGAL applications. Not all of it is '1337 0hour warez lol'. And some of us like messing around with the technical sides of our consoles. We paid for the goddamned console damnit, nobody is losing money off of it.

By Mark - (McBacon) “Long Easy Left”, “Caution” and “Game Over Yeeeeah” are some of the most memorable sound bites from so many Arcade goers; Sega’s Off-Road racer is over a decade old yet the term Sega Rally is still synonymous with daisy-chained Arcade Cabinets, vibrant coloured tracks and super fun raci...

By Matt Paprocki With a classic video game medieval theme, Golden Axe was a massive hit for Sega, and an early boost to the Sega Genesis when it was ported from the arcade back in 1989. Xbox Live has now found room for this Makoto Uchida designed title. While not in-depth as far as features go, Golden Axe is a wort...

Review rating: 3 stars Although handheld consoles are brimming with puzzle games, none of them stood apart from the rest, until now. Sega has just released "Crush," a game that not only questions the very fabric of reality, but also lets the player alter it. System: Nintendo DS

By Matt Paprocki Touch the Dead is notable for its concept, but ends up leaving the player hoping for Sega to see this as a wake up call to release a true House of the Dead for the console, instead of letting Eidos publish more of this. This is the right idea, destroyed in actual execution.

By Enrico S. A lot of racing games have been hitting next-gen consoles and each one has been trying to innovate the genre. SEGA Rally Revo is no exception with their introduction of deformable surfaces on the race track, promising to bring a whole new level of realism to the game.

By Matt Paprocki Boom Boom Rocket is tough to describe. In fact, the very games it resembles and borrows its design from are some of the worst imaginable. If someone told you Boom Boom was a clone of a Sega CD full motion video title and launch title Fantavision on the PlayStation 2, you’d be rightfully taken ab...

By Sterfish One of the best things about the Sega Dreamcast game Jet Grind Radio (aka Jet Set Radio in Japan) was its soundtrack. The fun, funky mix of hip-hop, dance, and other types of music fit the game's cel-shaded look and graffiti-based theme perfectly.
