by

Sega have released the official press release for Shogun 2: Total War which gives the finer details on what to expect from the 6th game in the series.

There are some very cool additions such as pre battle speeches from your generals which haven’t been seen since Rome: Total War and It is pretty impressive with a possible 100,000 different speeches depending on your army, location, relationship to the enemy and all sorts. Other note worthy additions are seasonal battles that effect game play, shrines to capture or burn effecting troop moral and many more.

It is never to late to get into this truly awesome series and Shogun 2 seems like the most fitting game yet since it’s set in the home land of our favorite company.

First gameplay trailer for VANQUISH

by


Shinji Mikami’s VANQUISH gets its first gameplay trailer and it seems to have delivered on all fronts. At least to me, this looks like an excellent game.

I love the cheesy voice acting, I love how crazy fast, big explosions, and how it does not take itself seriously. Moving train levels, big bosses and fast combat? I want. Though the facial motion capture looks pretty bad.

First ever screens of Sonic the Hedgehog

by


June 7th, 1990, SEGA showed off Sonic the Hedgehog to the public at the Tokyo Game Show.  When they showed it, the game was 2 months into development. So what they showed was very early.

Above is one of the first screens ever shown to the public and you can tell much has changed. First of all the background, from its odd city and mountains was changed in the final product. Though, regardless of stuff being changed, the art style and vision seemed to be there from day one.  The other screen that 1up had was the early title screen, which looks a lot like the original only without the Green Hill Zone backdrop.

Thor and Captain America concept art

by

Above is the concept art for both Thor and Captain America. This is to show off what their on screen outfits will look like. I have to say, the Captain America one is passable, but I do not like the Thor one that much.

If you did not know, SEGA will also be making a Thor and Captain America game based on the upcoming motion pictures. Hopefully they turn out better than the Iron Man games.

Alpha Protocol – Sharped dressed man trailer

by


Just because the game is already out, does not mean that SEGA will stop with them trailers. This one shows off how you can customize your characters cloths and even has a pretty funny comedy bit in the beginning.

Even though the game does not have super amazing graphics, its good to see color in it. Most western games with guns lack this and add bloom on top to piss me off.

Alpha Protocol sex scene

by


Here is the sex scene in Alpha Protocol that unlocks the achievement/trophy ‘Savage Love’. Even though its a sex scene, its very PG-13 and not graphic. I think it does better at showing you the dialog tree than most of the other trailers.

Alpha Protocol is out now in America on PC, PS3 and 360.

Rumor: “Sonic Free Riders” coming to Natal

by


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

by


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!

by

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.

Alpha Protocol charts in the UK

by

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.
