Alpha Protocol has been getting mixed reviews due to its bugs and other issues. Some loved it, guys at Joystiq did not. One of the developers commented on the review, saying SEGA should have canceled Alpha Protocol instead of Aliens RPG. Regardless of drama, I will be bringing you a review in the upcoming days.
To see his full comment, hit the jump.
If you want to be like a dragon, look tough on Sony’s Home, be sure to get the free Yakuza 3 t-shirt that has recently appeared on Playstation Home. Go to the mall section of Home.
“Show your support for the Dragon of Dojima with these official Yakuza 3 tees.”
Damn right I will support Kazuma and at the low, low price of free, how can I refuse? Now Sony should let us beat up people at Home and force them to apologize and give us money. That is how life works on the streets.

That is what Amazon UK is saying. They are listing both the Wii and DS titles as coming out September 24th, way before the previously announced Sonic 4.
I’m not at all surprised that the title is being released so soon, SEGA always seems to disclose lots of Sonic information till the last minute. No idea way.

SEGA used “Pirate TV” as a advertising campaign for the SEGA Mega Drive (US: Genesis) in Britain. The dog tag above was given to a UKR reader by SEGA during a event to try out the Mega CD and Sonic 2.
This is where I talk about how in my day, console wars where fought on the playground, not behind a computers. You get the idea.
Sega and the Creative Assembly have been hinting at a new Total War game with a teaser count down on their home page HERE. However this is no ordinary count down! In true Total War style instead of counting down in mere days to announcement it is counting down in historically important dates. The date is currently at 1751 but is almost certain to drop further considering the latest news we have heard.
Creative Assembly first hinted to IGN that the next game would be ‘back to basics’ this made it quite apparent that we would be dealing with a sequel. Having had a sequel to Medieval 2 only recently, this leaves Rome: Total War and Shogun: Total War.
And if Turkish site ‘Oyungezer‘ is to believed it will be Shogun Total War we see at E3 2010. The site claims to have been penciled in by Sega Europe for a 2:30pm appointment to talk about Shogun 2: Total War.
While I would take this as a rumour for now, it was either this or the other and now the scales seem to point to this!
Alpha Protocol is coming out on 3 platforms, but which platform looks the best? I got to say, all three look the same to me. Sure the PC version is a bit sharper. But not by much.
Obviously the site is not running the PC version to its full potential, but since this is the only comparison out so far, it is safe to assume each platform is a safe buy. The game is out today in Europe, out in America on June 1st.

Do you work at a game store or like to pretend you do? Well now you can play this on those television sets they have there on repeat and pretend you live in Japan.
The thing says it has over 100 outfits? Imagine if you played this in the store, that would have to excite someone, right?
So you like doing doodles and like Phantasy Star Portable 2? What if you could get your artwork as an in-game item? The item will be a wall scroll that players will be able to hang in their ‘My Room’. They say you are allowed to submit anything as long as its Phantasy Star releated. Nei lives, come on guys!
The image size will be 374 x 561, or multiples of this as long as the it can be scaled down correctly. E-mail your submissions to communityteam@sega.com. More details on the SEGA Blog.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
Every now and then, you get a game so beautiful, so deep, and so well written, that it makes you think. It makes you think about the effects of technology on the future of the human race, the meaning of war and why we fight. A game that tells stories of love and loss, sacrifice and greed. A game that makes you think about the human condition. A game filled with effeminate boys, or gruff, eye patch wearing super soldiers.
This, thankfully, is NOT one of those games. This is a game with nothing but balls to wall action and explosions, undead mutants, ice cream trucks, guns, and lots…and I do mean LOTS, of cursing. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the subject of today’s review, House of the Dead: Overkill.
This is what a Bayonetta as a virtuaroid would look like. It really makes me miss the real Bayonetta and her sexy curves. This was posted up on the Official Platinum Games forums. They even have a House of the Dead: Climax Edition.
If you’re thinking about buying Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition for the iPad, you should go do something else until tomorrow. Because that’s when the game will receive a temporary sale price! Save yourself some money and your patience will be rewarded. We’ll let you know when the sale is on!

You heard it here second folks! =)
Alpha Protocol comes out tomorrow in Europe and June 1st in the United States, you can check what the first 10 minutes of the game is like. The video was posted by Xbox Evolved.
Why does Micheal walk around like he is a huge body builder unable to move his shoulders or chest? I guess that is how spies walk.
So who exactly is making this game? SEGA have now revealed that Sonic Team will be developing the Wii version and DS version will be Sonic Team along side Dimps.
I’m assuming that the team doing the game is the same team that did the Story Book series of games. It would make the most sense.

Scot Bayless knows a thing or two about failing, he was Senior Producer at SEGA of America when they came up with the brilliant idea for the SEGA 32x. He also served at Microsoft as Studio Manager. Seeing all those studios closing at Microsoft Games Studios, don’t think he did a great job there either. This is what he had to say about Microsoft’s add-on.
“When I met with Microsoft in 2008 to look at Natal I asked: ‘When will you integrate this into the 360? Their response was: ‘We’re probably going to wait and see on that.’ To which I said: Then you’re going to fail.'”
He makes a great point about splitting the user base apart. Game development is expensive as it is, HD consoles finally reached the “above 35 million units sold” area and now developers will have to risk doing games for a smaller market that owns Project Natal or Playstation Move? Will casuals buy them? If Natal is $150 as rumored, they won’t. Again, we don’t know if Microsoft has “integrated” Natal with a new SKU, but if the bundled rumor price of $300 for an arcade is correct, a bit tough to lure in “the casuals. ”
Why would they buy expensive add-ons and consoles when the Wii is integrated with motion control since day one, costs $200 dollars and has a slew of motion based games already?

SEGA held this same type of competition for Yakuza 4, which was very popular contest receiving over 1,500 applications. They narrowed it down to 7 girls who appeared in the game, now women all over Japan will have another shot, this time for Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapater on PSP.

The final winners will appear at TGS and “other promotional activities.” Check out the official page for more information. Above is a video featuring porn star Ryo, who was one of the winners in the last competition. She should tone her voice done a bit.
