If you didn’t know, SEGA was planning on bringing back our green trash can on the PS2, even had some gameplay footage leaked. Issue? It looked crap.
But someone has found the artwork for the game and has posted it online, check that out.

SEGA has made two new trailers for Alpha Prtocol, dealing with a couple of characters you will meet in the full game. The first character is Grigori Pazinhov, a Russian that sells information. What kind of spy game wouldn’t have a Russian?
The next character is Sie, a operative. In the game you will get to betray her or keep her around, the choice is yours. She also appears to be a nympho. Hit the jump for her trailer.
Lamb of God, the American Metal band, are going to release an exclusive song for the Iron Man 2 game called “Hit the Wall”. In the video above, SEGA’s producers for the game and band members talk about how the deal came to be.
Looking at the gameplay for Iron Man 2 in the video, I have to say the animation is pretty stiff and that is now worrying me.

Tick-tock! The clock is ticking for Alpha Protocol’s marketing campaign. It seems that it will start tonight on 24. I usually dislike how SEGA markets their games, but this seems to be pretty fitting way to start it.
If you did not know, Jack Bauer was one of the influences in choices you can make. He was the ‘aggressive’ character. The other two influences were Jason Bourne and James Bond. Connection? All their first names start with J.
Alpha Protocol is coming out in the United States on June 1st on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Here is someone playing Sonic Adventure on their Xbox 360, yes another leak coming from SEGA. Seems that we already know almost everything about this game and SEGA has not even announced it yet.
As you can see in the video, the game will not support widescreen, the person playing it has it stretched to widescreen. Also the fast forward stuff is by the guy that did the video, we assume.
I’m not shocked that Yakuza 3 didn’t make it into the Top 20 for the month of March. I’m a bit shocked that neither version of Resonance of Fate made it though.
I know, SEGA didn’t really advertise either and they released them in a ‘big month’ , but didn’t even do 100,000 units? Spin it how you will, but SEGA made a pretty big deal about Resonance of Fate when it was announced.

If you don’t know what LA Machineguns and Gunblade NY are, shame on you. They are light gun arcade games by SEGA and according to ESRB, SEGA is planning on bringing them in a collection, much like House of the Dead 2&3 Returns.
from ESRB website:
“This is an arcade-style first-person shooter in which players engage in missions to protect sections of New York and Los Angeles from enemy forces. Players aim targeting crosshairs on dozens of attacking soldiers, robots, missiles, and vehicles that explode when destroyed. Constant gunfire and explosions highlight the frenetic action; zoomed-in camera angles depict multiple projectiles striking the humanoid terrorist enemies.”
The compliation pack is suppose to be called “Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack” and exclusive as of now, for the Nintendo Wii. How about some Virtua Cop love next time?

Football Manager Handheld 2010 will be headed for iPhone and iPod Touch. When is it coming out? According to the developers it should come out in the next 48 hours. What a wait!
SEGA is so serious about the release that they sent out special edition Football Manager Handheld 2010 iPod Touches to reviewers. Hey, I like iPod Touches! If you are a fan, keep an eye out on the iTunes store tonight at midnight.

If you are a achievement/trophy hunter, then you will be thrilled to find out that Alpha Protocol’s achievements are not that hard; at least they don’t seem that hard.
It seems that there are about twenty secret achievements. I assume they are story related and they don’t want to spoil it, seems fair. The trophies are usually the same as achievements, with a Platinum added.

We reported the other day about how SEGA is teaming up with Compile Hearts to bring forth a new RPG that sounded a lot like Segagaga. Well, their teaser countdown is over and as promised, they have posted a teaser video.
Nothing really big, but it does show you some of the character designs and as expected its your typical characters you see from most JRPGs.

We know that this DLC for SEGA & Sonic All-Stars Racing came out early on the UK PSN store, that they had to take it down. Now it is up on Xbox Live (Europe) for 800 MS Points. Yes, we know that the DLC was taken off the PSN store, most likely will come out later today for PSN users.
Want to know if the new character and course are worth your hard earned Microsoft Points? Check out someone playing the DLC on the PS3 version above.
[Edit] AAUK is saying that there is a pricing issue with the DLC and not to buy it. I assume it was suppose to be 560 MS Points, not 800 MS Points. [/Edit]

The newest Dev Diary for Alpha Protocol is easily the best yet, it seems as though the graphics have been much improved upon and it shows a lot of interesting gadgets and things you can pull off in game.
Alpha Protocol has been on and off my radar for ages a now but I can safely say this video is the one that has swayed me the most into the ‘WILL BUY’ group.
Sales numbers for the month of March are in, Yakuza 4 dominated the competition to become the best selling game for the month, pushing an impressive 480,626 units.
Even though the sales count the whole month of March, Yakuza 4 came out on March 18th, so this is really just half a month of sales. We will have to see if the game has better legs than Yakuza 3. No signs if Yakuza 4 will be heading west, as of yet.

[More of this please!]
Compile Heart’s new project is codenamed “Neptune”, which has a teaser on their site and one of those fancy countdown clocks we all learn to loath. Famitsu though, has revealed the full title of the game to be “Choujigen Game Neptune.”
Nothing out of the ordinary or to resemble Segagaga, but the game is an RPG, set in the virtual world of “Game Gyoukai”, which is Japanese for “Game Industry.” The main characters name is Neptune who must stop the evil plot of Goddess Magicon.
Yes, Neptune is based on the name for the SEGA console and SEGA is publishing the game (or handling the sales side of it, according to AndriaSang). Double whammy! It is also confirmed that the game will have cameos by SEGA characters, just like Segagaga. The game will also have mock characters for well known publishers like Capcom and Nippon Ichi.
Oddest part of the whole thing? It is a PS3 exclusive, seems like we have been corrupted by DOGMA! (Segagaga reference)
