Head over to ESRB.com and click on publisher, put in SEGA then search. Bam! Right in your face, undeniable truth. I guess we might see this at E3 after all.
I thought it would have been some sort of exclusive to Microsoft, but I’m wrong. The ESRB listing says its for Windows PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Sorry Wii.

Napoleon: Total War is getting a new expansion pack based around the Iberian Peninsula campaign.
This campaign was predominantly between Napoleon of France, the British Empire, Spain and Portugal. Napoleon had managed to take a large chunk of Europe for France. He wanted to close Europe off to the British who were one of the biggest threats to French territory and trade. Unfortunately for Napoleon, Portugal who were allied with the British were still holding out against French attacks for the time being.
You will start the campaign as British take a small foot hold in Southern Europe. You can either play as the British attempting to expand your hold in Europe, France trying to defend their large landmass and taking portugal. Or Spain fighting the first ever ‘guerrilla warfare’ against French troops.
The game comes out late 2010 and is exclusive to Steam.
Press release below
SEGA will be bringing some of its SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive classics to a PC near you starting June 1st. SEGA’s first games released will be Golden Axe, Ecco the Dolphin, and Vectorman.
SEGA stated they will cost $2.99 per title. The games will be coming to Steam and “other platforms,” but lets be honest, we all probably use Steam.
SEGA sent out screens for Gain Ground, Altered Beast, Space Harrier, Crack Down, Sonic 3D Blast, and Shadow Dancer; assuming these games will be coming out as well. I did not upload screens of the games because we already know what they look like.

SEGA has let go of 73 of its employees today, all part of their business reorganization as they move on focusing on social and digital games. 36 of the employees are from SEGA’s San Francisco branch and 37 from London. SEGA of America is said to be working exclusively on downloadable content int their newly formed digital division, while SEGA of Europe will act as the administrative hub, also handle console and PC games.
“In recent years, digital platforms have taken an increasing share of video gaming revenues and we believe this growth is set to continue, SEGA has already enjoyed commercial success within this new and exciting gaming medium and it is now the company’s intention to fully embrace change and set a strategy not only to maximize revenues within the digital space but, through innovation and quality, take up a leadership position.”
Mike Hayes says this is just Chapter 2 in SEGA’s continued evolution from being a hardware manufacturer.
Did you know that the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is coming to PC? I totally forgot, can you imagine the kind of exclusive character that Sumo Digital could have added?
