All three games have recieved a warm reception from critics and will satisfy any Wii owner suffering from a bit of the old bloodlust. It all comes presented in a nifty Drive in Cinema/Grindhouse case too!

The price for the compilation is only AUD $109.95, a very nice price considering that major retailers are selling the individual games for between $50 and $80 each! If you don’t have these games yet, now is a great time to check them out!

[EDIT: SEGA has asked us to remove the picture in question. You can read the rest of the story about the photo below]

This screen was posted via our forums by our residential troll. I was not going to post it up at first, but the screen does look real. Thoughts?

[Update] It is real, according to Tweaker from Sonic Retro, the image was posted in a IRC room and not suppose to be shown to the public. Of course, Kogen then decided to post that image on our forums, thus creating this post. [/Update]

Rebellion wants to do AvP follow-up

by


Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion, has stated that Aliens vs Predator has been a huge success for the company, so much so that they are already in talks with SEGA to do a follow-up game.  This doesn’t mean support for the newly release title is over, they are still planning some DLC.

“We’re also in discussions with Sega about ongoing support for AvP, and also about a sequel to the game,” – Jason Kingsley

Hopefully if SEGA is going to publish another AvP game, that they don’t forget about Aliens: Colonial Marines.

SEGA Europe: AVP fastest selling game this year

by


SEGA of Europe have just tweeted that Aliens vs. Predator is the fastest selling game of the year, in  the UK. This means it beat heavy weight titles like Mass Effect and even their own  Bayonetta.

“News just in; AvP is the fastest selling game this year and also no.1 in the all-formats chart here in the UK.“

I guess critical reception is not needed to sell megaton copies, you just need to sprinkle some badass license characters and watch it explode.

Yakuza 3 demo is missing content

by

“No time for love, Dr. Jones”

I played the Yakuza 3 Japanese demo for quite awhile and noticed some stuff that was missing from the US demo. First of all the arcade section was missing AnswerXAnswer arcade mini-game.

Then I also noticed that they took off hostess bar section. You can’t try it out in the demo, leading me to believe it is not going to be in the full game since the US trophy list that was just released is missing the 2 hostess trophies. This also confirms a rumor that came out a few months ago saying that the western release wouldn’t have the hostess sections in it.

Why did SEGA edit out hostess content from this game and not the others? No idea.

Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games breaks over 6 million

by

The last time we left Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, SEGA confirmed they had shipped 5.67 million by the end of December. Well it seems that another milestone has been reached with SEGA announcing the title making it past the 6 million mark. It probably comes as no surprise then considering not only the popularity of both characters but also due to the fact that minigame collections are all round big sellers on the Wii.

At any rate, it seems like the sequel will manage to get to the lofty heights of over 10 million that the original reached.
