by

Hi kids! It’s Thanksgiving, and Uncle Barry has been drinking again. Y’know that that means, he’s being generous! Seeing as how I love the iPhone version of Chu Chu Rocket, and it’s 99 cents until December 1st, I’ll give a copy to the first person who posts in the comments! The only rules are that you have to own an iOS device, you have to not already own the game, and I will only pay for it while it is 99 cents. Comment now before the booze wears off and I become a money grabbing jerk again!

Conduit 2 – Intro Trailer

by

“Conduit 2 fans rejoice, today we reveal new video footage of High Voltage Software’s Wii FPS! The video, which features a cinematic look at Conduit details the ending from Conduit 1 and the intro for Conduit 2.”
-Sega

Well, the intro looks good at least. I get a bit of a Half Life 2 vibe from it, I think that’s what they were trying to capture with ‘The Conduit’ story line.

Yeah, I don’t expect it to play anything like Half Life either… But it would be nice!

Steam Sale: Alpha Protocol for $7.50!

by

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.

Bayonetta 2!? – Hideki Kamiya hints on Twitter!

by

While Platinum Game / Mikami’s 3rd person shooter ‘Vanquish’ seems to have bombed sales wise. (If you didn’t buy it then it’s your fault and I’ll never forgive you.) Hideki Kamiya’s Bayonetta on the other hand did very well for Platinum and Sega.

Easily two of my favorite games this generation, so at least one of them is looking up in regards to a sequel. Kamiya has hinted today on his twitter account that Bayonetta 2 might be on the way!

The teaser comes from a twitter convocation between Kamiya and another guy going by the name ‘Grecco’. Grecco asks Kamiya if it is possible to get the prototype version of Bayonettas character model from the recently released footage of a Bayonetta prototype released as DLC for Bayonetta. Kamiya replied “Perhaps in Bayonetta 2” to which Grecco replied, “So are you confirming Bayonetta 2?”. Kamiya reluctant to give anything away replied simply with. “Oh you think so?”

So not exactly a confirmation, but not a denial either and considering the pretty good sales. I think it’s only a matter of time.

7th Dragon developer teaming up with SEGA again

by

[Teaser image for upcoming game]

Imageepoch Inc. had a huge conference in Japan where they announced a bunch of titles. How many is a bunch? Like 8 titles, not including the SEGA published one. Now that is a ton of work. They also announced they are ‘publishing’ titles now. But just because they are publisher, they aren’t a developer for hire.
If you remember 7th Dragon, a DS RPG that never made it to America, released in 2009. Well, they developed it. They announced they have another RPG to announce and SEGA will be publishing. The game should be out in the middle of 2011 (So spring/summer?). When the announcement was made, the over world theme of 7th Dragon was playing, could this be a possible sequel?

Most likely the title will be announced for Nintendo’s 3DS platform, since SEGA said they had 6 3DS titles planned for 2011. Will we get this one in America? Maybe.

Yakuza 4 Story Trailer – Must Watch!

by

What ever you do today, don’t miss this trailer!

Why? Because it is easily the best English trailer for a Yakuza game, ever! It’s even better than the original Yakuza games trailers, back when they were really trying to break into the western market!

The trailers shows basically everything the Yakuza series is about, has a great narrator, script and manages to be funny too. It really delivers!

If you still haven’t jumped into the Yakuza series Yakuza 4 is the perfect place to jump in. Considered the best game in the series yet by many it is also not necessary to have played the previous games to get into the story.

How well is Sonic 4 doing on XBLA?

by


Pretty well, it seems. According tot he latest charts, released by FADE (Forecasting and Analyzing Digital Entertainment) it came in number 2 for October, selling 98,000 Units. So who took the number one spot for the month? Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, which had longer to sell and was 400 points, compared to Sonic 4’s 1200. But it didn’t beat Sonic 4 by that much, only 6,000 units.

If that was not enough, Microsoft’s sales jumped 91% for October, thanks to big titles like Super Meat Boy, Dead Rising: Case Zero and of course Sonic 4.

Above is the final box art for the upcoming Total War: Shogun 2, featuring a darker looking box art compared to the other games in the series. Doesn’t the logo remind you of the Yakuza logo?

The game is scheduled to invade our computers on March 15, 2010. Now you just decide if you want your digital or retail copy.

Crazy Taxi trophy syncing issue now fixed

by


If you picked up Crazy Taxi this week on PSN, you  might have noticed that when you try to sync your trophies it gave you an error (Error Code: 80022a07). I know some people reported the problem to SEGA via their forums.

Well, now its fixed. As you can see above, I synced them correctly. No patch, so I assume it was an issue with Sony’s syncing process and not SEGA. Enjoy.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (PSP2i) isn’t afraid to have a ton of tie-ins, there has been a great deal announced.

Sonic Colours climbs up UK charts

by

Sonic Colours has jumped from its 36th place last week to a better standing at number 18. That it is right, cracked the top 20. As for Sonic Free Riders, that debuted last week right below Sonic Colours, it has dropped off the charts completely.

SEGA’s true and blue Football Manager series came in one spot lower than Sonic Colours for the week at number 19th. Still doing pretty solid and staying in the top 20.
