Sega Rally car in real life!

A member of the AtariAge forum has ‘pimped his ride’ turning his plain white Toyota Celica into a replica of the Sega Rally Celica ST205 GT-Four.

“Every time you drive a car in a video game, you want it just a little. Age, make, model, condition — when you’re spanking something across a digital landscape, none of these things matter. And if you owned an ST205-chassis Celica and happened to be a game freak, you’d probably think about doing something like this.”

Alien vs Predator Species Deathmatch Trailer

Yet another trailer for the upcoming Alien vs Predator game! This time featuring the species death match mode where you will select either alien, predator or marine and join a team of the same species and duke it out with opposing species!

This mode was the bread and butter of the old AvP games if you ask me, great fun!

I’ve seen some very mixed reviews coming in for AvP, some love it and some hate it! I’ve played the demo and found it very fun… One of my close friends absolutely loves it. What is your opinion?

Also worth noting is that I saw a commercial for this game last night after the Brit Awards on ITV1.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 video leaks

Well there you go! A leaked off screen video of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’. You can clearly see four levels, Splash Hill Zone, Lost Labyrinth Zone, Casino Street Zone, Mad Gear Zone not to mention a special stage. Each seem to have three acts and a boss battle.

Four Zones with Three levels each and one boss means twelve levels in total, four bosses and a special stage. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fifth final zone.  At the right price I think that’s a good amount of content for a downloadable game.

As for impressions,
