Opinion: Resonance of Fate Eyes-On: Welcome To The Machine [Gamescom]

25 Aug 2009 13:40:00 PDT

Written 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Resonance of Fate is role-playing game developer tri-Ace's first game for Sega, its first not to be published by Japanese RPG giant Square Enix.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...

Opinion: The Sega Genesis / Megadrive RPG Library – Pt 2

20 Aug 2009 18:49:24 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: SEGA Genesis Anniversary - Flashback, X-Men, D&D, and Funkotron

13 Aug 2009 12:19:21 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Sega: Impossible To Please All Sonic Fans With One Sonic Game [Sega]

13 Aug 2009 10:40:28 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Sonic’s quality ‘will be fixed over time’

01 Aug 2009 11:00:57 PDT

Written 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.

Let's Tap Review: Rhythm Limbo [Review]

24 Jun 2009 15:40:00 PDT

Written 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.

Review: Virtua Tennis 2009

31 May 2009 13:03:07 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: SEGA Merch Week: The Box of Awesome, Friday Finale

03 Apr 2009 16:04:37 PDT

Written 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...

Destructoid review: Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

07 Mar 2009 15:12:02 PST

Written 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.

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...

Wii Fanboy Review: Sonic Unleashed

08 Dec 2008 10:50:00 PST

Written 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.

Review - Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360 / PS3)

02 Dec 2008 08:33:25 PST

Written 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. You’re expected to wander the street and listen to the townspeople’s inane ramblings, complete dreary but...

Review / Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS)

04 Oct 2008 15:47:41 PDT

Written 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.

Review: Sega Rally (PS3)

04 Aug 2008 17:00:00 PDT

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...

Xbox Live Arcade Review: Golden Axe

17 Jul 2007 20:43:27 PDT

Written 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
