Free Sonic and Iron Man comics!

by


I love free stuff, do you? Well, May 1st is free comic book day and you will be able to pick up 30 select titles for free, which happens to include Sonic the Hedgehog and Iron Man.

You can see the site’s FAQ to answer all your questions. Reason they are giving them away for free? Comic sales are going down, trying to get people hooked by giving them a free comics could increase subscribers. Its like crack.

Its really sad, the comic book shop I used to go to when I was in high school is now closed. It would have been cool to stop buy.

What Thor will look like in the upcoming movie

by

No, this has not turned into a Marvel comic book blog. But SEGA is going to publish The Mighty Thor movie game and the models will be based off the movie. So go ahead and have a gander at the actor dressed up as the Norse based comic book hero.

Actor? Chris Hemsworth. Never heard of him? Neither have I. But he looks the part.

Rumor: XSEED to bring Ivy The Kiwi to America?

by


XSEED seems to be on a role, bringing cult games over to America. They just released Lunar: Silver Star Harmony on the PSP and are already teasing their next project via Twitter. I have to admit, sounding like it can be Ivy The Kiwi.

“XSEED is poised to announce one of our hidden titles next week. It’s sure to be a feather in our cap…”

Not good enough? How about we add another tweet…

“For those guessing certain titles as our mystery announcement, you don’t really think we’d keep all our eggs in one basket, do you? ^_-”

Their third hint says it will be revealed via Nintendo Power magazine. If that was not enough, their facebook is hinting birds as well. It could most likely be Ivy in the Kiwi, XSEED has published Namco-Bandai games before and this is by Yuji Naka, enough to make a cover story. We shall keep you posted.

by


What a tragedy, Yakuza 4 has finally meet its end, at least in the top 10 Media Create charts. It dropped from number 10 last week to number 18 this week (April 19th – 25th), pretty big fall.

Could be worse, could have been No More Heroes’ Paradise that went from number 7 last week to number 29 this week. Now that is a massive fall off. As for other SEGA games on the charts… what other games?

check out the full chart after the jump.

Top 10 ways to improve the next Phantasy Star Online game

by

I love Phantasy Star Online, while Phantasy Star Universe was still a good game, it suffered from some bad decisions in gameplay and the way it was handled. It did however do a good job of stepping the gameplay up a notch.

If SEGA is planning a new HD Phantasy Star Online franchise, they need to make it a huge leap forward, not just baby steps. Here’s how we’d do it!

SEGA to liquidate GameWorks

by

Remember all those GameWorks locations that SEGA has closed down, stating that they might re-open some of the locations in the near future? Well, fuck those plans.
SEGA shut down 15 locations (which we know) and has began liquadating under “general assignment for the benefit of creditors“.

It was only a  matter of time for this to happen, GameWorks needs to change the way they do business if they want to survive against bigger chains that offer the same entertainment.

Obsidian CEO says Aliens RPG felt finished

by


We know that Aliens RPG has been in development for awhile, then SEGA had to go in and pull the plug.

At a press event last week, Joystiq asked Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart some questions about Aliens RPG. So what did he have to say about the unreleased game?

“Oh, if you had come in and played any of the last builds we were working on, you would have said it was a finished game, that’s how close we were. It looked and felt like it was ready to ship.”

Other info he gave out was that you only played as the Colonial Marines in the game, that missions would involve tasks like protecting sentry guns  that were featured in a deleted scene in Aliens the movie.

Bayonetta wins Famitsu’s rookie award

by


Famitsu has given Bayonetta their ‘Rookie Award’ , in their 2009 awards thingy. You know, every site gives prizes away for games they fancy, Famitsu is not different, just a bit late.

What does the rookie award mean? It means that the game is an “outstanding original game”, with this I agree with. Yakuza 3 was one of the many games to capture Famitsu’s “Excellence Award” along with heavy hitters like Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy XIII and Resident Evil 5.

Shenmue and Jet Set Radio XBLA leaks look busted

by

You saw us post them as a rumor, that both Shenmue and Jet Set Radio were coming to XBLA. There have  been numerous PartnerNet leaks, newest one being Crazy Taxi, but this one came from a shady source who calls himself the XBOX360LEAKER.

Not only that, other people that have PartnerNet can’t seem to find traces of Jet Set Radio or Shenmue on the services. When users on NeoGAF contacted “XBOX360LEAKER” he said he got the games off of “Test Net”, a service that does not exist. Even worse, he left traces of his photoshop work behind on his ImageShack account.

I think he took advantage of all the news about Dreamcast leaks, decided to play on some classics that fans wanted. A shame really.

by

Do you guys remember Gain Ground? Its that one game that SEGA keeps on putting in those Genesis/Mega Drive compilations and you ask yourself why they do it. Well, now they are making a new entry to the franchise, mobile only and in Japan. Guess the title? Gain Ground Again.

The game comes out today (or yesterday, don’t know the date in Japan). Gain Ground Again lets you team up with other users, much like the older counter part. We have screens of the game below, not too impressive graphically.
