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..

Plus a new IP

SEGA of Europe and SEGA of America CEO Mike Hayes has revealed that the company is preparing four additional titles for the PS Vita. This comes on top of the news that the company is releasing Virtua Tennis 4 as a Vita launch title. SEGA says one these four Vita games will be an all new IP from the company. Our line-up features all...

Ready for launch

SEGA's Virtua Tennis franchise has been through multiple iterations since its 1999 arcade debut, going from coin-op to home consoles to portable handhelds. The series has thrice been a launch title on PlayStation platforms, and now SEGA says it's bringing back the original development team for a revamped port of Virtua Tennis 4 for...

Regular readers will know about our obsession with tennis games

Naturally we're going somewhat gaga over the announcement of Virtua Tennis 4 for the PlayStation Vita. Let's not forget how good Virtua Tennis: World Tour was when it launched alongside the original PlayStation Portable. To this day it's one of the best games available for the platform. Virtua Tennis 4 for PlayStation Vita will be the..

Throttled up to Move – Sega style!

The PlayStation Store just recently raced back to action in North America, and Movers are finally able to download the titles Learning with Pooyoos and Under Siege. But, one game raced onto the PSN Store like an unexpected hairpin turn: Sega Rally Online Arcade. Sega Ra

Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines has been in hiding for a long time now

But that's changed this afternoon, as SEGA's finally decided to bring the title out of the darkness and confirm a "Spring 2012" launch window for the game. “To Gearbox Software and its peers throughout the industry, Aliens is one of the most influential science fiction properties of all time,” said Gearbox boss..

SEGA has come out with a glowing statement of support towards Sony over the recent PlayStation Network data breach

The publisher, which admitted to suffering from similar small-scale hack attacks itself, said that the platform holder "couldn't have done anymore" to support developers during the outage. "It's a practice that we certainly don't condone and we have nothing but sympathy..

Do your bit folks: SEGA is currently holding a poll asking if PlayStation 3 owners would like to play Guardian Heroes

The former SEGA Saturn favourite was confirmed for XBOX Live Arcade last month, but a PSN version seemed unlikely up until now. The re-release of the classic Treasure brawler will include online co-op and rejigged visuals, all with the option of switching back to the original at any..

SEGA has announced that there will be an official PlayStation 3 tie-in for the London 2012 Olympic Games

It will be called: London 2012 - The Official Video Game Of The Olympic Games. (We kid you not.) The game will release next year. No, Super Mario will not be in it.

Extended Cut on the way

SEGA's House of the Dead: Overkill on Wii was a fantastically gory and ludicrously tasteless reimagining of the classic House of the Dead arcade series, and now the game is coming to PS3 in the lengthily-named House of the Dead: Overkill — Extended Cut. As well as full support for PlayStation Move and stereoscopic 3D, we...

Fact: one of the best games available on the Nintendo Wii is House Of The Dead: Overkill

It released at a time when everyone was demanding "core" titles for Nintendo's system, only to be disappointed by their on-rails nature. But House Of The Dead: Overkill was genuinely one of the good ones, boasting an outrageously self-aware grindhouse style that was both hilarious and perfect..

SEGA's pushed Platinum Games' ambitious multiplayer melee title, Anarchy Reigns, into 2012 in Japan

SEGA's yet to confirm, but we're assuming the delay will occur worldwide. The brawler, which features the protagonist from Wii-exclusive Madworld, was originally due out this year. SEGA's given no reason for the delay, but we'd imagine it has something to do with the piles of great content coming out..

SEGA has announced its bringing back its Vintage Collection line, starting with a localisation of the previously unreleased Monster World IV, to PlayStation Network

The game will be released during the late 2011/early 2012 window and will be joined by a range of other enhanced SEGA re-releases, including: Wonder Boy In Monster Land, Revenge Of Shinobi, Alex Kidd In Miracle World and Wonder Boy In..

SEGA swings by

SEGA returns to court today with the North American release of Virtua Tennis 4 on PlayStation 3, 11 days after its release in Europe. Taking a different route to 2K's more sim-like Top Spin 4, VT4 embraces SEGA's arcade roots with a simplified board game-style World Tour, minigames and more. If you're planning to pick the game up, be...

Make a racquet

After the disappointment that was Top Spin 4 comes Sega's attempt at mastering the Move tennis game with Virtua Tennis 4, out today across Europe. Unlike Top Spin, Virtua Tennis limits the use of Move to offline-only modes: Exhibition and Party, with no Move support for the World Tour or online play. It does however use 1:1 motion...

Binary Domain might not be what we've come to expect from the team behind the Yakuza franchise, but that's not stopping it from looking properly amazing

Sure ok, there are robots and the characters look like they've been ripped straight out of Gears Of War — but if Binary Domain can bring the narrative success of the Yakuza franchise and marry it with a unique futuristic Japanese setting, count..

Colours

That's exactly what most Unreal Engine moden video games lack. Colours. SEGA understands that. Not content with the blistering blue skies of Okinawa in Yakuza, SEGA's still pumping out eye-wateringly bright Sonic games too. Sonic Generations will be no exception. We couldn't be happier.</em>

A bunch more gameplay for the brilliant looking Sonic Generations has popped onto the 'net this afternoon

Not only does it look uber-pretty, but the gameplay actually looks fun in both 2D and 3D. Regular readers will remember that SEGA confirmed all stages in Sonic Generations will be playable in both dimensions, making it an exciting proposition for old-school and newbie gamers alike. We're..

This one caught us by surprise

Despite launching late in the year, we assumed Gran Turismo 5 would probably be the highest selling PlayStation 3 title in 2010. Either that, or some weird mech game we've never heard of. But no, the top-selling Japanese PS3 game of 2010 was actually the fantastic Yakuza 4. The numbers, reported by Siliconera, note that the free-roaming crime-thriller netted 577,199..
