You have been warned

House of the Dead: Overkill — Extended Cut looks stupendously gory in screenshots, but this new trailer from San Diego Comic-Con puts it just over the top. We should warn you that the trailer is most certainly not for the underage portion of our readership, so if you know you're not old enough to click "play" below...

We've said it once and we'll say it again: House Of The Dead: Overkill Extended Cut is one of our most anticipated PlayStation 3 games of the year

The original Wii title was a roller-coaster ride of eff-bombs, gore and zombies giving birth to other zombies. So we can't wait to experience the whole affair in high-definition with PlayStation Move. Check out the latest trailer for evidence of the..

It may have escaped your attention, but Sonic The Hedgehog is 20 years old this year

In order to celebrate, SEGA's putting together the promising looking Sonic Generations — a PS3 title designed to celebrate the origins of the character. The above trailer includes footage from all Sonic's most famous outings. And there are a few morsels from Generations to get your teeth into too.

New IP gets a job listing

A little while back, Sega promised to bring an "extremely innovative and purpose built new IP" to the PlayStation Vita. Other than mentioning it was exclusively built for the PS Vita, there wasn't much more announced. But now a job listing for a Tools Programmer over at MCV unveils a genre and release window for...

Goresome

The unflinchingly gory House of the Dead: Overkill — Extended Cut is shambling towards Move later this year, and SEGA has sent over a revolver barrel's worth of new screenshots to celebrate. The shiny new 720p screenshots and pleasingly grindhouse-like artwork and box art show Headstrong is improving pretty much everything that was good...

SEGA's movie tie-ins aren't known for their high level of quality, but we have to say that its Captain America game is looking pretty decent

The title's out today in Europe and next week in North America.</em>

When we say "purrrdy", we also mean "a bit gross"

But that's the whole point; House Of The Dead: Overkill is a nasty, gory on-rails shooter. And it's brilliant. Hot on the heels of yesterday's big blow-out, SEGA's sent us some brand new screens of the upcoming PS3 title. Embedded above is a shot from Overkill's Carnival level. Yes — there are zombies dressed as clowns. We told you this game was..

There's nothing especially outstanding about the firearms and explosives featured in Binary Domain's "Weapons" trailer, but the game continues to look mighty compelling from where we're sitting

The game's uber-clean, futuristic urban setting makes for an impressive visual style, and we're especially taken by some of the showcases of scale in this trailer. Some of those enemy robots are huge. If the..

When an updated version of one of the best Nintendo Wii games gets announced for PlayStation 3, you should probably take notice

That's exactly what SEGA's House Of The Dead: Overkill Extended Cut is,  a self-proposed "longer, harder and gorier" version of the ultra-sweary Wii light-gun shooter. Posting on the PlayStation Blog this afternoon, SEGA's revealed the game's official boxart —..

Whether you're personally excited by it or not: Sonic Generations is set to be a big game this holiday

As with all big games, SEGA's got a special edition planned, which has been spotted on the website of UK retailer, GAME. The PS3 version of the special edition notes the inclusion of a bonus "Casino Nights" stage, which supposedly recreates the pinball-inspired level from Sonic The..

Slip slidin' in

After a month of doing donuts in the North American PlayStation Store, Sega Rally Online Arcade has started the European leg of its PSN Rally, complete with PlayStation Move support. The game will set you back £6.29 or €7.99 if you want to take it for a spin. We've already given it a thorough test drive, and here's an excerpt from...

Sonic's been stuck in a loop for years

We often feel like the franchise's heritage is a detriment to the series going forward. Those original SEGA Mega Drive titles were so important that it almost feels like nothing the publisher can do will please its fanbase anymore. But there is always the nostalgia card. Celebrating Sonic's 20th anniversary, Sonic Generations feels a bit like a "catch..

Dear Sonic The Hedgehog, We know our relationship is not always the best

Sometimes you get on our nerves. You need to stop hiding behind all that bravado, and show your true self. We know you're sweet and innocent behind that too-cool-for-school exterior, you just need to let people see it. Sometimes we wonder if you got in with the wrong crowd. Seriously, we wish you never made friends at all..

Sonic Generations is not out until the end of the year, but SEGA's decided to release a snippet of the new game early in order to celebrate its mascot's 20th anniversary

The demo will allow players to experience the first act, Green Hill Zone, as classic Sonic, and will even support 3D televisions. You'll need to be quick though, as the demo will only be available until July 12th. After that, it..

One of our favourite PlayStation franchises, the Yakuza series, has shipped over 5 million units worldwide SEGA has announced

The milestone was achieved with new zombie-gangster mash-up, Yakuza: Of The End, which has already shipped 400,000 units in its first two weeks on sale in Japan. We've got our copy. There have been seven games in the Yakuza franchise thus far: four mainline entries on PS2..

Knowing the Yakuza team's ability to craft compelling narratives, we think Binary Domain could surprise a lot of people when it launches in February next year

The SEGA published squad-based shooter has an air of Gears Of War to it for sure, but there's also that traditional Japanese anime aesthetic running through the art-style. We think it looks neat.

Demo to hit the net

It's Wimbledon time, which means many gamers will be wanting to pick up a virtual racquet and pretend they're Rafael Nadal. PlayStation 3 owners keen to get a Move on in the sport will likely be torn between Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4, but one deciding factor might be the free Move-enabled demo of VT4 that's coming to PSN...

Talk of new IP is so rare these days that we have to make a big deal out of it when the news comes along

To be fair to SEGA though, they've been about the only publisher consistently pushing new franchises throughout the entirety of this generation. We've seen Madworld, Vanquish and Bayonetta from the publisher over the past few years, and now SEGA's got something new lined up for Sony's latest..

SEGA's mobster-zombie mash-up, Yakuza: Of The End, has unsurprisingly topped the Japanese sales charts after a hefty delay

We received our copy earlier this week but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. It's sitting temptingly on the top of our "to play" pile though. Elsewhere it was a poor week for Japanese software, with the ridiculously titled Gekiatsu!! Pachige Tamashii Portable..
