House of the Dead Overkill: Extended Cut reveals first exclusive level


House of the Dead Overkill: Extended Cut was said to have a ton of new content, which also includes new stages. This first one to be revealed is called “Naked Terror”. You have to shoot your way through a stripper bar, killling exotic dancers and biker mutants.

But that isn’t all: the level has you playing as Varla Guns and her exotic dancer friend Candy, both of which were only NPCs in the last release.

House of the Dead Overkill: Extended Cut is coming exclusively to Playstation 3 on October 25th in the USA. Are you ready?

Chu Chu Rocket recreated in LittleBigPlanet 2


Snap, seems that there is another SEGA theme creation in LittleBigPlanet 2. This time someone took the tools given in the game and recreated a puzzle from Chu Chu Rocket. Pretty impressive. I suck at creating stuff in the game.

Search for it when you guys play, if you guys are wondering who created it… he goes by “Hymanator”. Classy name.

Renegade Ops Game Mode trailer is fantastic


When I first heard that SEGA was going to publish Renegade Ops, I cringed. Just hearing the title made me think of a generic shooting game. But after watching this new trailer, I’m pretty damn excited.

The graphics are pretty impressive for a downloadable title: especially the effects, like the explosions.  Plus that 4 player online co-op could be damn fun.

Anarchy Reigns story trailer, now in English


I posted the same trailer yesterday, only issue was that the last one was in Japanese. This one has the English voice actor laying down lines nice and cheesy. Seems that the story is going to be about someone turning the fighters against each other.

Yeah, not a very unique storyline, but its presented rather well. Don’t you agree?

Review: Captain America: Super Soldier (PS3)

With the release of Captain America: Super Soldier, SEGA will be bringing a close to the licensing deal that they started with Marvel several years ago. So after four tie-ins with Marvel Entertainment, has SEGA improved in the quality of their licensed output? Read on to find out in my extensive review on the last game in their Marvel movie tie-in, Captain America: Super Soldier.

Anarchy Reigns story trailer looks fantastic, wish I could understand it


A new story trailer for Anarchy Reigns came out tonight. Yeah, looks pretty dramatic, just wish it was in English and not in Japanese. I guess we will have to wait for SEGA Europe or America to put out the English trailer, but I liked the Japanese trailer so much that I wanted to post it ASAP.

I’m one of the people around here who believes that Anarchy Reigns will be a good title due to Platinum Games already delivering 3 awesome games. This trailer just makes me believe in the game even more.

Binary Domain – Weapons Trailer

Yet another trailer for Binary Domain, the new IP from Toshihiro Nagoshi (of Yakuza fame). This trailer highlights some of the weapons you will be armed with to take down those pesky robots! The trailer doesn’t really show off any unique weapons; indeed, most of them are a shoe-in in pretty much every shooter going. However the way they are used and the enemies they are used on looks far more exciting and really made the trailer quite awesome to behold.

I’m excited about Binary Domain, I think they should make a bigger deal of the ‘trust system’ they have in the game because that’s one of the things that really sets this one apart from the other 3rd person shooters out there!

House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut getting online multiplayer?


SEGA posted new boxart and screens on the Playstation Blog for us to enjoy. Like usually a ton of fans asked SEGA questions about unconfirmed aspects of House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut. One of the questions is if the game will have online.

“Wish I could answer that now, but right now, we just have to wait and see. :)” – David Bruno, Public Relations Manager, Sega of America

Even though it isn’t a yes, don’t be shocked if you will be able to team up with someone on PSN and shoot down mutant bastards online.

[The unlucky ladies]

If you are like me, you probably aren’t very good at the hostess bits in the Yakuza games. Guess what? SEGA is giving you a chance to fail at attracting hostess in real life.

SEGA is teaming with Naimaga to give 30 fans one-on-one time with Erika Mizushima and Yuria Hayashida, two hostess from the game. The winners will be able to dine for 45 minutes with the girls.

Yes, SEGA will be paying for the beer and all you can eat edomame.
If you are from Japan and you think you have a chance. Enter here. Bottom has their in-game models.

Binary Domain – New ‘Story’ Trailer

A new trailer for Nagoshi’s ‘Binary Domain’ has appeared. The trailer which has no gameplay sheds a bit more light on the games storyline and shows a few new bosses and characters. It all looks pretty cool; I’m definitely getting a bit of a Yakuza vibe in the way the characters look and move. The VA’s are pretty hit and miss though but overall I liked the trailer.

Binary Domain will release on the Xbox360 and PS3 in 2012.

Aliens: Colonial Marines to have “Last Stands” and “Gauntlet” sections


Randy Pitchford has been talking to PC Gamer about Aliens: Colonial Marines this month. He talks about what the team is trying to accomplish with the upcoming title. Two things he says the team is tring to create are sections called “Last Stands” and “Gauntlets”. Names they are using to describe intense parts of the game.

“We’ve come up with language to define some of the tools we use for pacing. Gauntlet Run: this is about getting from point A to point B and everthing’s going to be thrown in your way around you.”

“Last Stand: this is when you’re in a defined area and we’re going to be pouring in aliens from all directions. That’s a pacing moment that can feel sometimes like Left 4 Dead or some of those great moments fromHalf-Life 2 where you’re setting a turret here and setting a turret there. These are really interesting wheen you add co-op into the mix.” – Randy Pitchford

Sounds like it’s going to be a changing experience. The thing I kind of disliked about Left 4 Dead was that it was a one trick pony. It seemed like one mode that was remixed a ton of times. This seems like it’s going to have a bit of everything. Hopefully it’s done right.
