Sonic 2 3D fan project has released YouTube videos and we all assumed that we would never actually get to try it. There is a thing about Sonic fan projects, most of the time the users give up on them.
But it seems the guys behind Sonic 2 3D have bigger plans and are thinking of releasing a demo next week, according to a user from NeoGAF. The Demo will be for PC of course.
To help with the wait, have some screenshots.

Osamu Murata worked as a composer for Shenmue series and he has talked about the new Shenmue game announcement on his twitter account.
“I have complicated feelings about Shenmue appearing on Yahoo! Mobage. I actually worked on Shenmue, working quite a bit with Yu (Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki). However, Yahoo! Mobage is being started up by a friend of mine.
Here is a video interview with Kieran Brigden, communication manager for Shogun 2: Total War. The video interview was for GamesKings, a gaming show from Holland.
Even though the questions aren’t in English, the answered are. You know, the answers are that matters.

Those dirty Ninjas are back!
Hire a single ninja to assassinate an approaching enemy general from the Imagawa clan. Watch the cinematic and hope he gets the job done! This particular scene is a bit of a comical one, can’t be that great of a Ninja.
I simply can’t wait for this game to come out in 2011.
[Ah, we meet again.]
SEGA is going to bring back Typing of the Dead, with the help of Rakuten’s job placement assistance site Minna no Shuushoku Katsudou Nikki. Just like the original, you have to fend off zombie attacks by typing the words on screen. Only this time the words are changing.
SEGA surveyed Minna no Shuushoku Katsudou Nikki members and collected over 3,000 words that related to hunting jobs, these are the words that are used to fend off zombies in one of the game’s 4 modes, rightfully named “Job Hunting Mode.”
The game comes out tomorrow (October 7th) on PC, at the low price of ¥2,300 (about $28 USD). SEGA West, where the hell is my Steam version?
Stop, I’m not talking about roms and emulators. I’m talking about the released that SEGA did. Would you want to get them, legally, for free? One game a month?
Well SEGA has teamed up with GamersGate, to give you, the SEGA fan, free Genesis/Mega Drive games. Isn’t that nice? Basically every Tuesday of a new month, SEGA will post a redemption code via their Facebook discussion board. Code will last 24 hours, they will put codes for 3 days. First game up is Space Harrier II. First give away starts October 5th.
For more details, check out the SEGA Europe Blog.
Start building your strategies now as Shogun 2 ups the ante with new game modes, bigger scale battles and deeper game play!
I’m totally pumped for this game. I’ve always been a fan of this series, from the first ever Shogun all those years ago, to this very day. I can safely say this is the most excited I’ve been for any Total War game yet, this game is just stunning. Any Sega fan that hasn’t given this game a try yet is doing them self a great injustice!
I think it was a mistake not showing this at Tokyo Game Show, I think this is the one Total War game to break into Japan with.
Here is the trailer that we posted about, in its full U Stream quality glory. You can see that it has only been confirmed for Windows PC.
I really do hope we get a console version, for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. But it being on a PC is good enough for now.
[Update] SEGA pulled it out of our YouTube account. We have moved it else where. If they knock it from this site, we will upload it on our server [/update]
Oh shi-
So I’m watching Sega’s TGS live stream which currently is just playing trailers for their upcoming games while no press conference is going on. I was just happily playing it in the background as I catch up on some work while minding my own business.
Suddenly I head something that fills me with nostalgia and fond memories. Pioneer 2, Spread Needles, Rappys and beautiful Caves 3 come flooding back; It’s the main (vocal) theme of the original Phantasy Star Online! What the?
I quickly Alt-Tab to the stream and what do I see? Phantasy Star Online, the original, what is this? Then it shows PSOv2 and proceeds to go though each game in order of release right up to the very newest announced game, Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity. I’m excited about the game so I continued watching but that wasn’t all. Right at the end… My mind was blown.
Phantasy Star Online 2
Release: 2011
Known system: PC

Apologies, article written at 3AM in a fanboy frenzy.
I know what you are saying, another compilation of Genesis games, splattering the word classic to get me thinking about great games that powered my Genesis throughout the 16-bit wars.
After releasing a ton of stand alone titles on other digital services and disc based releases, SEGA tries to bring Genesis games to Steam. This is not the first time SEGA has brought Genesis games to PC.
ESRB has rated Crazy Taxi for Mac, PC, PSN and Xbox Live Arcade. Issue is that it has not been announced for Mac and PC yet. The game was already released on PC back in 2002.
I assume it will be up on Steam for both Mac and PC. Good news for those that own a Mac, if you own a PC, buy it again.

Aliens: Colonial Marines has been said to be alive by Gearbox president Randy Pitchfork, who already confirmed back in February that the game was back in development. But after it missed E3 and when they announced that they where doing Duke Nukem: Forever at PAX, I just assumed the project was dead. Not so it seems.
“Earlier this week, I was down in San Francisco and I had lunch with the head of Sega of America and he is committed to this. And we’re going to make this awesome. I know it’s been awhile since the announcement first happened that we’re in for Aliens. I promise you it will not take as long as Duke Nukem Forever. We’re not going to let this dream die, it’s going to happen.”
I hope that Gearbox does not stretch itself too much. They talked about a new Brothers in Arms, new Borderlands game and a unannounced game. Quality over quantity.

Jesus, the graphics in this game are amazing and this is only pre-alpha footage. Check out the first Battle Report for Shogun: Total War. You have 6 and a half minutes of pure gameplay bliss.
Looks like Creative Assembly has another winner on their hands. Now if only they would try doing another ‘action game’ that has as impressive graphics as this game….
Here is an in-game presentation of the newest Total War game, Shogun 2:Total War. The video isn’t the best quality but you can understand the jist of it.
In the video the presenter speaks about their new engine as well as the effects it can do. He also mentions the staggering number of units on screen, a possible 56 thousand! Finally engaging in a large scale land battle.
This is very impressive tech even at this pre-alpha stage.
A new entry in SEGA’s highly successful and critically acclaimed series, Football Manager, has been announced for release before Christmas 2010 and available on PC, Mac and Playstation Portable. In Football Manager, players take on the role of manager of a number of football clubs or national team manager and guide the team to glory by meeting targets set by the board, which, depending on which club you pick can range from winning a trophy, being promoted or surviving relagation. Speaking of the announcement, Miles Jacobson from Sports Interactive said;
“We always strive to give the end-user the best experience possibleInteractive. The training system, for example, has always been the best we thought it could be, until now. We’ve found a way to make it even better.”
