According to Australian Classification Database rating, SEGA is bringing its legendary arcade racer Daytona USA to multiple consoles. With the release of “SEGA Racing Classic”, most people said that SEGA lost the Daytona USA license, seems its not the case, at least for this title.
Daytona USA with online multiplayer? Yes, please.

A brand new trailer for Sega and Avalanche Studios new IP, Renegade Ops!
Renegade Ops is a throw back to the great vehicle shooters of old like Jackle and Desert Strike, only now with awesome HD graphics and all the other bells and whistles like online 4-player Co-Op and 2 Player split screen! I think the game looks awesome myself, this trailer primarily focuses on the upgrades and perks you can use to boost your vehicles performance but it’s the online multiplayer Co-Op and combo system that have really got me excited to get my hands on this game, not to mention it’s on Steam, always a good call!
Renegade Ops will be available on XBLA, PSN and Steam on September 12, 2011. Don’t miss it!
A Sonic Generations Beta file has been dug up on STEAM by Neogaf member Drkirby through some internal system file in Windows. I would have to assume since it says BETA that it’s not meant for the public. This is good news for people hoping for a PC release of Sonic Generations though, as that means that SEGA is probably testing it on STEAM.
As I have told other people, if there was any game that would make me build a new PC, it would be PSO2 and Sonic Generations. Now we just need the tech specs so I can start planning my masterpiece.

Following the SEGA Genesis Collection deal, you can also get the DC Collection for 50% off. On Steam, each title is sold for $8.99, if you add that together and take off 50%, it comes to roughly $20 for 4 games.
The only thing that sucks is that you can’t get the ones you want for 50% off, so you have to stick them all together.

Here is a crazy cross over I never saw happening! Sega have announced a Shogun 2 and Team Fortress 2 cross over to promote the release of Shogun 2 on steam.
This cross over comes in the form of eight in-game items for Valve’s online FPS, Team Fortress 2.
The items will be made available as an exclusive pre-purchase bonus for Steam gamers and also as a separate TF2 item pack. If you’ve already pre-purchased Total War: Shogun 2 on Steam or you do so before release and own TF2, you’ll automatically gain access to these unique items.
Hit the jump for the press release and screens of said items.
So you want to check if your PC has enough horses and power to run something like Shogun 2? Well, you will be able to test your hardware on February 22nd, because the Total War: Shogun 2 demo is coming to Steam.
If you like it, there are two pre-order specials going around. One is for Gamestop, which gives you the “The Historic Battle of Kawagoe” pack, and the other is for Best Buy. This one gets you 1,000 Koku, currency in-game. The full game comes out March 15th. Hit the jump for press release.
SEGA’s Total War franchise is highly successful, will you need to buy new hardware for the next title? Most PC gamers won’t, but I will probably need to get at least a new graphics card. I’m a noob and use ‘on board’ graphics still. Don’t laugh!

MCV UK has interviewed SEGA Europe’s John Clark about SEGA’s position in the digital distribution market. John Clark was the managing director at SEGA Europe, but he is now the director of digital distribution at SEGA and has given some insight as to what SEGA thinks of digital distribution. Clark says that SEGA is still very much a boxed goods company even though they have a section of SEGA dedicated to digital distribution.
Steam is known for having insane sales, so its no surprise they are starting up one of those “I have to get this game, its so cheap” sales. How can you pass up a full RPG for $7.50?
If you haven’t read our PS3 review, we did say it had some issues, but to be honest, it is well worth it at this insane price. If you have a capable PC, give it a go. Be warn, it has a slow start.
