Yakuza 4 is a great game with lots of good content for you to play through. If you don’t believe us, believe our review.
Now Amazon has a sale for the game that will only be up for today.The game comes out to $38.89. Not bad at all. Well worth the cash. So buy yourself a copy and get one for your friend that always plays Black Ops, he must be tired of that game, no?
SEGA is now teasing people that Sonic’s Facebook is going to have something big, most likely on April 7th. Check out the tweets in their uncut glory below.
“There’s something big coming this week to the Sonic Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/sonic”
“Sonic’s 20th Anniversary is this year, but SEGA start celebrating on 7th April and you’ll only find out how on the Sonic Facebook page!”
So what could this be? We will find out in 48 hours, no need to have a panic attack. Could this be a Sonic social game to make old school fans even more mad? We can only dream.
Who knew that one of SEGA’s own movie license games would be getting rave reviews? Surely not us…er..anyone, really. But Captain America is seemingly exciting the masses. Destructoid’s new hands on/interview/wrap up thing details how awesome the game plays and the cinematic experience it gives through cut scenes and the fluidity of everything progressing. Check it out, it sure looks good and actually worth playing. It’ll probably sell as well as Iron man, if not better, which probably means a sequel. But promise me this, SEGA, if you do another Captain America game after this, make it good, not like the Iron Man games, or how Thor is looking. Please?

The people over at Amazon France have leaked two move bundles before SEGA got a chance to announce it. The first bundle is the Playstation Eye Camera, Virtua Tennis 4, Move Controller and plastic tennis racket for the sweet price of 99.95 euros.
The second bundle is the same, but also has a 320gb Playstation 3 added to the mix. This one is going to cost you 379.95 euros. No idea if any other country is getting a taste of these sweet bundles, I guess the French just love their tennis a bit more than everyone else.

I remember reading about the first Yakuza game (Ryū ga Gotoku in Japan) way back in 2005. I was super excited to find out that SEGA was going to bring it over. Since then the series has seen significant growth, spawning three direct sequels and three spin offs. When the original failed to catch on in the west, there was a lot of doubt that the franchise would ever come to the west again. Now we are all the way to the fourth main entry for the series. It’s great that SEGA has continued to bring the series over to the west despite the failure of the first game, but four entries in has Kazuma Kiryu finally worn out his welcome? Read on to find out.
If you are like me, you have probably stayed up sleepless nights hoping that SEGA would release box art for Captain America Super Solider. Well, today is your day. Here they are.
Wait, you don’t own a Playstation 3? Well we have the other 3 console versions down here at the bottom. Game is hitting retail shelves on July 11th.

SEGA has just confirmed that the Playstation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 4 is getting exclusive playable characters. These include Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Pat Rafter. As well as two minigames. The first one is Pin Crusher which is made for regular controllers in mind and the other is Net Blitz which is Move exclusive.
There is also a minigame being made for PlayStation Home Central Plaza that will launch with the start of the French Open. To check out the message SEGA sent out, hit the jump.
SEGA announced that it will be publishing Avalanche Studios‘ (Developers of Just Cause) Renegade Ops later this year. The game will be a downloadable title on Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and PC digital download.
“Renegade Ops is SEGA’s first new IP on the digital space and we are thrilled with the remarkable visual look and extensive features that the game has to offer. It has been a great opportunity to work with a team as successful as Avalanche Studios,”- Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA.
The game will allow players to play co-op offline 2 player split screen or up to 4 players online. The game has you trying to stop Inferno, a madman trying to take over the world.
For the press release, hit the jump.
The Wii and DS versions of Thor have gotten a lot of positive press when they were shown a few days ago at a press event. The HD versions of the game? Not so much.
If you look at the trailer, it’s not hard to see why. The graphics look like an average Wii game, the gameplay seems a bit repetitive… this is just in a trailer. We will see if the team pulls off some tricks in the full retail version.
The trailer is actually called ‘next gen’, but let’s be honest, we have been in the ‘PS3 and 360’ generation for 4-5 years! We need to stop calling it next gen.
The trailer is pretty alright, SEGA has always been good at cutting together a Marvel trailer and selling the game to gamers. Have their titles been good? No, but we are willing to give it a chance, even if the trailer already shows a slowed down framerate.
It is already obvious that Platinum Games isn’t afraid of putting characters from other universes into their upcoming brawler. I mean, more than half of the cast so far has come right out of their Wii game, MadWorld.
So I decided to put up a list of SEGA characters that I would love to see in the full game.
Here she is, Mathilda, the newest trailer for the upcoming Anarchy Reigns video game. You might remember her from MadWorld, she was Black Baron’s assistant that always ended up killing him.
Her pimp hand is strong in the trailer, also shows off her weapon of choice, ‘Iron Maiden’.
The delay for Yakuza of the End was pretty last minute, so much so that SEGA already shipped some copies of the game before it was cancelled. SEGA said they would be pulling shipped copies, but apparently some made it to their destination (pictured above). The retailer received 60 copies of the game, which they said they are sending back to SEGA.
Nagoshi updated his blog stating that the delay was hard on the team, they hard pride on knowing that they delivered every single Yakuza title without delay.

Not exactly a news item in the traditional sense, but thought some would be glad to read this. Best Buy is holding a sale on Yakuza 4, selling it for only $39.99.
Apparently this sale is good through Saturday and includes both in-store and online. You can pick up Yakuza 4 for a heavily discounted price here.
Update: Good work, SEGA fans. Bestbuy.com has sold out of Yakuza 4 and the title is now on backorder. If you still want to purchase the game for a bargain and don’t want to wait for up to two weeks for more copies to be ordered, (or don’t live near a Best Buy,) Amazon.com has also discounted Yakuza 4, selling it for $53.99.
Happy gaming.
If you didn’t know, Yakuza 4 hits retail today. That means I will be busy all day playing it.
This is the launch trailer for the game. Are you ready to be somebody in the world of nobodies? Get yourself a PStriple and a copy of the game.
