Alien vs Predator Species Deathmatch Trailer

Yet another trailer for the upcoming Alien vs Predator game! This time featuring the species death match mode where you will select either alien, predator or marine and join a team of the same species and duke it out with opposing species!

This mode was the bread and butter of the old AvP games if you ask me, great fun!

I’ve seen some very mixed reviews coming in for AvP, some love it and some hate it! I’ve played the demo and found it very fun… One of my close friends absolutely loves it. What is your opinion?

Also worth noting is that I saw a commercial for this game last night after the Brit Awards on ITV1.

Napoleon: Total War – New Features trailer


Check out Napoleon: Total War – Community Chapter 2 to find out what is new in the next Total War game, Napoleon: Total War. Including a new multi player mode, general abilities, diplomacy skills and more.

The game is set to release at the end of February. If you are a Sega fan that has yet to try this series out, (I know there’s quite a few of you!) and you have the kind of PC that can run it. This is a good time to start, the depth and level of detail in the Total War series is a marvel!

Crazy Taxi appears on IMoG 2010

I’m not quite sure how many of you out there have ever entered a game tournament, but a certain SEGA classic, Crazy Taxi, will be making an appearance as one of the games selected to appear at the Iron Man of Gaming 2010.  But there’s more! The final mystery game that appears at the tournament is also a SEGA game from the looks of things. If you feel your particular set of gamer skills are enough to win the tournament or just a hardcore Crazy Taxi fan looking for a bit of competition, how about you give it a try?

Rumor: Yakuza 3 western localization to have content taken out?

Before Yakuza 3 was announced, there were a ton of rumors about how the game was going to come out in the west, but one rumor said that stuff was going to be taken out. Now that it has been announced and coming out next month, you’d assume SEGA would talk about the cut content, if there was any. According to Nagoshi, in a Official Playstation Magazine interview, there was some stuff that was “minimized.”

“We did minimize certain parts of the game that would be difficult to understand to people outside of Japan.”Toshihiro Nagoshi, Producer for Yakuza 3

What did they tone down? Who knows, but SEGA is just hurting themselves by not just telling us; you know fans will find out what it is and whine about it after the game comes out. Though it doesn’t seem like cut content, more like skipped dialogue.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 video leaks

Well there you go! A leaked off screen video of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’. You can clearly see four levels, Splash Hill Zone, Lost Labyrinth Zone, Casino Street Zone, Mad Gear Zone not to mention a special stage. Each seem to have three acts and a boss battle.

Four Zones with Three levels each and one boss means twelve levels in total, four bosses and a special stage. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fifth final zone.  At the right price I think that’s a good amount of content for a downloadable game.

As for impressions,

SEGA trademarks Drama Engine for US and Europe

SEGA has trademarked “Drama Engine” for both North America and Europe, it will be used for video games and also for 3D computer graphic software and facial motion capture software. What is it?

Well one would guess is that its some sort of middleware? Some people think it might have something to do with SEGA’s facial imagining game Project Beauty for the NDS. Hard to know what it is really, any guesses here?

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing demo out for DS


If you have access to the Nintendo Channel, you will have the ability to download the demo for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. I think this is only for DSi’s, right? Either way, you can see what it looks like via the YouTube video above.

Yakuza movie coming west, used to promote Yakuza 3?

[Covers sort of look alike, cross promotion?]

Seems the Takashi Miike film titled “Like a Dragon” (the Japanese name for Yakuza series) is coming to America, over here it will be called Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The film cover even looks sort of like the cover for Yakuza 3, only better because the Yakuza 3 cover is uglier; they both share the same Yakuza logo.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is being released on February 23rd and you can pre-order that here. Yakuza 3 gets a March 9th release date, a must have pre-order.

Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love Trailer

As you may known NIS America have taken up the task of publishing Sega and Red Entertainments ‘Sakura Wars V: So long, my love’ in the West.

While Sega have passed up the chance to publish this game, It is still a Sega game at heart. So sit back and enjoy this five minute trailer!

The game releases at the end of March!

Resonance of Fate sends out Valentines Day cards


What is a better way of celebrating Valentines Day tomorrow than pretending that your video game girlfriend sent you a Valentines Day card? Nothing… is better…  so print it out and hang it on your wall. This is what the card says:

“Hey, have you heard of Valentines Day? Well, if you don’t know, it’s okay. Here are some chocolatez. Why? I wonder why!”

Now you can also pretend you know Japanese. To top the evening off below we have a series of Reanbell angle shots that show her underwear. You know, for when the evening gets romantic. Hit the jump for that.

Nagoshi teases Yakuza 4 demo, says its coming soon

[Watching Kazuma sing is still a bit odd]

Seems that SEGA of Japan is having a retail tour, showing off a demo of Yakuza 4, but what good does that do us? None! But Toshihiro Nagoshi has talked about a PSN demo via his blog, saying it will be coming.

When? Well Nagoshi can’t say right now,  but if it follows Yakuza 3‘s schedule we shall see the demo a week before the retail game is released. Nagoshi has also said that commercials and retail promotional videos for Yakuza 4 are already done.
