Rumor: “Sonic Free Riders” coming to Natal


Natal is suppose to have a big event on June 13th, one of the games that is suppose to launch with is “Sonic Free Riders” that is rumored to be an XBLA game.

To be honest, I hated Sonic Riders and if this is anything like it, I do not care. Sort of weird that its a XBLA title. We will keep you posted.

Shogun 2: Total War is official


It is now official, since IGN has a hands-on preview of the title. It is said the game will revolve around 8 war factions and not have the epic scope that Empire had.

The game will also offer small scale ambush fights to full scale wars. This should be pretty good, since Samurai anything is good in my book.

Sonic Colours first scans!

And it’s looking pretty damn good… Of course cautious optimism is advised but I can safely say I don’t hate anything about what I’m seeing so far and it actually looks quite good in all departments. What is going on?

As you can see they’re not that well taken and bloody tiny to boot! But you get the picture… A blend of 2D and 3D gameplay, crazy level designs, the sonic unleashed model for the Wii game, DS one looks like Sonic Rush… I think you can even see some of the ‘wisp’ side effects in there.

At no point did Sega suggest they were trying to ‘go back to the roots’. This is a Sonic game of its own, much like the Story Book games and Sonic Rush. So lets not start screaming and shouting because Sonic has green eyes and a boost gage. too be honest I like the Sonic Unleashed Character model AND I like Sonic Rush.

SEGA Deals: Alpha Protocol for $44.99 at K-Mart


So, Alpha Protocol comes out today and K-Mart is announcing a deal on the game already. If you go in today, till the 5th, you will be able to get your hands on Alpha Protocol for $44.99. This is only in stores. Deal only mentioned for the PS3 and 360 version of the game, sorry PC gamers.

This is all a part of K-Mart’s new strategy into getting gamers into buying games at their store. Cheap games makes me happy, so good job. Last month they had AVP and Bayonetta for $29.99.

Alpha Protocol charts in the UK

Alpha Protocol came out on the 28th, the charts ended on the 29th. So how did it do for one day sales? Rather alright actually.The 360 version came in at number 21 and the PS3 version charted at number 24. Not the best, the success of this title will be determine on how it does the upcoming weeks.

Football Manager 2010 is still charting, rather low at number 38. That is SEGA’s money maker as they say. UK loves football.
