The release of Sonic Generations has ushered many disbelieving gamers into an admission: Sonic games can be good

The upcoming title's combination of throw-back Sonic The Hedgehog gameplay and modern three-dimensional action has proven a hit with gamers ever since SEGA announced the move. But while Sonic Generations is set to become one of the best selling titles in the blue blur's history, SEGA has..

Those of you that have been keeping a close eye on the PlayStation Store recently will have noticed a slew of games under the 'Arkedo' label

Originally released for XBOX 360 and then ported to the PlayStation 3 by Sanuk Games, these super simple, retro flavoured indie titles gave Arkedo their excellent reputation. They've spent the past nine months working on a game called "Project Hell..

Sonic The Hedgehog, as a video game series, has a long and storied history

Spanning more than 20 years, and featuring in massive number of games, the character has been a favourite of video game fans for years. But his latest outing in Sonic Generations is surprisingly the most pre-ordered title in the franchise's history. There's probably two reasons for that. The video game industry today is much..

A portion of Yakuza 5 will be set in the game's famous red-light district, Kamurocho

But like previous games in the series — which have taken protagonist Kazuma Kiriya to the likes of Okinawa — Yakuza 5 will boast a secondary district, that SEGA's allowing fans to choose. The options so far include Sapporo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. You can register you choice by visiting the franchise's..

We're so excited

As we've probably written approximately eighteen times now, House Of The Dead: Overkill was one of our favourite Nintendo Wii titles. So we're ridiculously stoked to see the silly on-rails shooter make the jump to PS3 with full PlayStation Move support. The game's vulgar, potty-mouthed and downright ugly, but that's absolutely part of the charm. Catch the trailer after the jump for..

What we've played of Sonic Generations has really impressed us

We thought we were going to be taken by the game's reimagined 2D stages, but it's actually the modern Sonic stuff that's got us replaying levels over and over in order to beat our best time. We hope that the game features good leaderboard support so the competitive nature of the title can really shine. If you were worried that Sonic..

Hot on the heels of Binary Domain's multiplayer announcement, SEGA's detailed the game's first couple of pre-order bonus packs

The first, entitled the 'Dan Marshall Pack', unlocks a brand new weapon and skills for the game's protagonist Sergeant Dan Marshall. "Dan is a member of the international Rust Crew charged with infiltrating robot defended Japan, and identifying the source of an illegal..

SEGA's mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog, has been awarded the first annual Outstanding Contribution award by the Golden Joysticks

“We are so excited that Sonic has been awarded the first-ever Outstanding Contribution Award at the Golden Joysticks,” Sonic brand director David Corless said. “In today’s ever changing market it’s rare for a character to last for 5 years – let alone 20. And that’s..

Will you hit a winner?

SEGA's gratuitously gory House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut is just a few days away from launch, with SEGA cranking up the excitement by showing off another new trailer, this time of the game's carnival stage. Not to be confused with Sony's upcoming Carnival Island, of course — they're very different beasts — the...

Some people are absolutely terrified of clowns, but we don't really understand their trepidation

So they have hideous hair, abnormal grins and way too much make-up, but what's so frightening about... Oh right. Yeah, perhaps we do get it. If clown clowns frighten you when they're being worn by normal human-beings, then you probably shouldn't think about the possibility of a zombie outbreak taking..

Fact: Sonic CD is one of the best Sonic games

Fact: very few people played it because it originally launched as part of the ill-fated Mega-CD disc-based extension. But SEGA's hoping to rectify all that with the PlayStation Network re-release of Sonic CD due out later in the year. There's a new trailer after the jump.

SEGA's announced a new game in the Shining series in this week's Famitsu magazine

The game — Shining Blade — will launch on PlayStation Portable next Spring in Japan. Further details are scarce to the point of obscurity.

We were pretty hot on what we saw of Binary Domain earlier in the year

The futuristic squad-based shooter is certainly a change of pace for the team ordinarily behind the fantastic Yakuza series, but it's got some neat ideas that set it apart from its immediate competitors. While SEGA's been keen to promote the single-player experience of Binary Domain, it's been pretty much silent about..

If you've already forgotten how fun the original Sonic Generations demo was, then SEGA's preparing to jog your memory

A second demo for the athletic hedgehog's latest adventure is set to hit the PlayStation Store this week. The demo will centre on Sonic's dash through Green Hill once again, but this time featuring hands-on time with both Classic and Modern Sonic. The game itself is due out early..

Between the eyes, that is

In just two weeks we'll be playing the first-ever PlayStation House of the Dead game — how about that? If that thought isn't enough to make you come over all unnecessary, perhaps the crossbow-themed trailer below might just tip you over the edge. Of course the crossbow isn't the first weapon that springs to mind when you...

Sonic Generations is mere weeks away

(We know, we're excited too.) And in order to celebrate the game's release, SEGA's decided to release a new trailer spoiling teasing each of the game's boss encounters. There's Eggman, Metal Sonic and... Nah, we won't spoil it. Watch if you dare.

Normally we'd stop by here for a witty comment or two

But there are just no words. Remember when we rated House Of The Dead: Overkill as one of our most anticipated PlayStation 3 games of the year? This trailer is why.</em>

You want the good news or the bad news? We'll start with the good: Daytona USA is indeed coming to the PlayStation Network on October 25th in North America

The bad news is that Europeans will be bafflingly made to wait until late November. No justification was offered. The classic racer has apparently been "tuned up and overhauled" for its re-release, with enhanced graphics, steering..

What's that? You were holding out hope for a Western release of Valkyria Chronicles 3? Really? Yeah, don't

SEGA has told Gamespot that a localisation of its third PSP strategy RPG is totally off the cards. The reason? Well the PSP isn't popular enough in Western markets apparently. That and Valkyria Chronicles 2 — which did get localised — sold like trash. But with the Sony portable market..
