There it is, the new “trailer” for Compile Hearts upcoming console war RPG. SEGA is acting as publisher in Japan, chances of it coming out here? Slim. Especially seeing as the graphics will be 2-D and on PS3? Forget it.
Oh well, maybe they will put some English subtitles and most of us can import it? Hey, it could happen!

Do you guys remember Neptune? The console war RPG game being published by SEGA in Japan? Well it has been confirmed that retro SEGA characters will make cameo appearance. What characters? No idea, yet.
The ‘listing’ in Game Star website says resurrect retro SEGA characters; so I would not be counting Sonic and the gang to return. Someone that has not been back in awhile… humm…
If that was not enough, it also talks about a new photo feature. You can take pictures from your Playstation 3 photo album and use them during battles and to customize your clothing. Interesting indeed.

Alpha Protocol has finally gone gold. After all the damn delays, it is now guaranteed to come out May 28th in Europe and June 1st in America.
Unless for some reason SEGA decides not to release the title at all. That would suck!
[Not the Official box art for the Western release. That one sucks]
Before we begin, I should start by telling you what Yakuza is and what it is not, it is an action RPG brawler, it is not the spiritual successor to Shenmue, it shares closer ties to typical role playing games like Final Fantasy than it does with anything in relation to Grand Theft Auto. There is actually plenty more I can expand on, but I think it’s better if I start the actual review, so without further ado, read on for SEGAbit’s Yakuza 3 review.
Makoto Tsuchibayashi, character designer for games like Mega Man Legends (personal favorite of mine), Devil May Cry, Shinobi and Nightshade is working on Vanquish, they upcoming title by Platinum Games.
He confirmed his involvement via the hip social networking site twitter, by doing what all hipsters do, “tweeting.”

Actually the Iron Man 2 achievement list went out a few days ago, I was going to post it but got lazy. Today I saw the trophy list and decided to post both in one awesome post. This is it, the awesome post!
What a tragedy, Yakuza 4 has finally meet its end, at least in the top 10 Media Create charts. It dropped from number 10 last week to number 18 this week (April 19th – 25th), pretty big fall.
Could be worse, could have been No More Heroes’ Paradise that went from number 7 last week to number 29 this week. Now that is a massive fall off. As for other SEGA games on the charts… what other games?
check out the full chart after the jump.
You like cheap games? Have a K-Mart near buy that is still opened? You will be able get Bayonetta and Aliens vs. Predator for $29.99 each, on your choice of PS3 or 360.
Not your thing? They also have Final Fantasy XIII. Whats Final Fantasy you ask? I don’t know either. The prices will take effect on May 4th and last till May 10th. So save your pennies!

We know that Aliens RPG has been in development for awhile, then SEGA had to go in and pull the plug.
At a press event last week, Joystiq asked Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart some questions about Aliens RPG. So what did he have to say about the unreleased game?
“Oh, if you had come in and played any of the last builds we were working on, you would have said it was a finished game, that’s how close we were. It looked and felt like it was ready to ship.”
Other info he gave out was that you only played as the Colonial Marines in the game, that missions would involve tasks like protecting sentry guns that were featured in a deleted scene in Aliens the movie.
Famitsu has given Bayonetta their ‘Rookie Award’ , in their 2009 awards thingy. You know, every site gives prizes away for games they fancy, Famitsu is not different, just a bit late.
What does the rookie award mean? It means that the game is an “outstanding original game”, with this I agree with. Yakuza 3 was one of the many games to capture Famitsu’s “Excellence Award” along with heavy hitters like Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy XIII and Resident Evil 5.

This isn’t a full retail release for Project Diva, it is actually the PSP game rendered on the Playstation 3. What you need, is a USB cable, UMD copy of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, and the Dream Theater program. After you connected all this nonsense together, you will soon be able to fap to Miku rendered in gorgeous HD.
Don’t have all the time in the world to connect wires and turn on video game systems? Well, don’t worry, you can fap to the screens on this post.

Yakuza 4 came in at number 10 in this weeks Media Create charts. In total, the game has sold 523,000 units since April 18th (the day the new chart ends). Could this be the last week that Yakuza 4 charts in the top ten? We shall find out next week.
To see the full chart, hit the jump.
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.
