Neptune, a game being developed by Compile Hearts and being published by SEGA, is going to take ‘console wars’ to another level. The game will be an RPG, to read more information click here.
As for the screens, the graphics are very PS2 like, not that it is a bad thing. Just expected better. I hope the game is fun and there is a English release. I can dream, right?
VOOT on XBLA was a big seller, after everyone saw the news of their blog closing and announcing a profit, then a short time after a countdown to a new game for Xbox 360; we all sort of put the pieces together.
This game will have 2 vs. 2 player battles, offline 4 player split screen support and over a dozen mechs to choose from (including Temjin).
The Famitsu scan is on top, SEGA’s countdown clock is still going however.

Shenmonth continues with a new segment called SEGAbits All-Stars! Unlike the similarly named ‘SEGA All-Stars’ series of games, SEGAbits All-Stars will highlight the underdogs of the SEGAverse. The characters who weren’t the star of a game, nor were they playable, but they still made enough of an impact to be memorable.
Gotta take a leak before reading more? You should probably hold it in, because our first SEGAbits All-Star knows all the best spots to relieve oneself.
Ever wonder what Sam, the man in the white robotic suit looks like? Have no more odd erotic fantasies, these latest scans shows him in all his glory.
Check out the rest of the scans, from PlayMania magazine below.

The first review is in, from Spanish magazine PlayMania (issue 127). The review is that the game is great, scoring a 88 out of a hundred.
Graphics -> 80 – The exteriors are not so bad but the models and their animations are far from perfect.
Sound -> 90 – Appropriate soundtrack.
Diversity -> 89 – Even though it’s the same game, there are many possibilities when it comes to customizing your character and deciding how to play.
Duration -> 90 – The replayability factor is really high. You can play Alpha Protocol a lot of times without experiencing the same adventure.
Overall -> 88 – A spy role playing game that succeeds in blending action with stealth and gives players a high degree of freedom in choosing how they want to proceed.
Game comes out on June 1st in America, you can pre-order it on Amazon [360 – PS3 – PC] and save yourself a few bucks.

Our Valkyria Chronicles swag give away has come to a close. We had an outstanding number of you submit your entries, probably one of the most popular contest I have been a part of.
In a few hours I will post a Resonance of Fate swag give away. But for now, hit the jump to find out the winners…
The newest trailer for Sega and Obsidians Alpha Protocol: The espionage RPG. here is the related info,
With a plot torn from todays headlines and more twists than a blockbuster movie, Alpha Protocol brings a new level of modern day realism to the world of RPGs. Tasked with uncovering the perpetrators behind a tragic missile attack on a passenger jetliner, players dive into a story rich with characters and locations to discover an international arms-dealing conspiracy. Through their actions and choices, players direct the outcome of the game as they ultimately decide who to befriend, trust or kill. Out May 28th.
The game looks like great fun, even though the graphics leave a lot to be desired. It’ll be interesting to see how this game fairs sales wise.
What are you doing on Thursday the 20th May? You don’t know yet? Well I do! You’ll be sitting at your computer frantically slamming the refresh button waiting for a sniff of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 related news, just like the rest of us.
Why? Well apparently Sonic Stadium and Sonic Retro will have a joined exclusive community press release with some ‘big’ and ‘good’ news regarding this controversial Sonic game!
Made by IGN’s Retro devision. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a throw back to retro titles with a weird, cube like graphical effects (3D pixels, if you will). The game has recently been released in the west by Atlus, on the Playstation 3.
Good to see that retro, especially 8-bit focused, get some SEGA love. Usually Nintendo hogs up all the spot light.
If you own the game, you can import IGN’s Master System characters (Opa-Opa and Mick), download here.

The above is a Border Break action figure (NOT A TOY!) that is coming out on July 24th. The toy will be exclusive to Kotobukiya Shop online store and retail shops. (retail shops if you live in Japan)
The action figure will run you at 3,675 yen ($40 USD), that is a small price to pay to have a plastic toy of a game you will probably never play. Unless SEGA is nice and ports it over to consoles.

Hit the jump to see the translation of the flyer from versuscity.net!
If you buy them on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 of course. This is backed up by both product pages on PSN and XBLA.
No idea of this is native resolution or upscaled. I have decided to drop SEGA an e-mail and wait like a rabid dog all weekend for a response. I hope the answer is yes.

[Image has nothing to do with trademark ]
SEGA has trademarked KINGDOM CONQUEST via the European trademark database. What will the game be? The forums have been buzzing from anywhere to a new Total War game to a Sonic game.
Your guess is as good as ours. Could even be one of the 15 Xbox 360 games that SEGA has planned for the year. Hit the jump to see all the details about the trademark.
