News Yakuza: Of The End Clearly Ain't Going To Stop Looking Rad Any Time Soon
SEGA's released two new trailers for Yakuza: Of The End
Any day with Yakuza trailers is a damn good day. The first trailer details some of the game's odd-ball plot points, while the second highlights the game's weapon upgrade system. It's a bit of a departure from the traditional Yakuza games, but it ain't looking any less awesome. Andriasang's also...

News The SEGA Toylet Has Nothing To Do With PlayStation But Is Just Too Good To Ignore
SEGA may have stepped away from the console business, but if the "Toylet" is anything to go by, the Japanese giant's never stopped being awesome
If you didn't guess from the pun, SEGA's Toylet is a bizarre video game platform operated by the steady stream of your own urine. The device, which has been installed in four Tokyo metro stations, has LCD...
News Yakuza: Of The End Tips Its Hat To Shenmue
Many people consider SEGA's Yakuza franchise to be the spiritual successor to Shenmue
While the games share some themes, it's not really an apt comparison. Yakuza is much more of an RPG than Shenmue, despite including all of the "free-roaming" gameplay elements that Shenmue introduced. Considering the nature of the upcoming Yakuza: Of The...
News Catch Up On Yakuza 4's Cast With Another Set Of Character Trailers

News SEGA Plans Retail Dreamcast Collection For PlayStation 3
Reality check: if SEGA was still a hardware manufacturer, PushSquare would not exist
That's fact. Don't tell anyone, but the guys behind PushSquare, yeah, they're SEGA fanboys. They're kinda Nintendo fanboys too, but anyway... Let's move swiftly on before this gets all kinds of awkward. Fact is, here at PushSquare we like the Dreamcast a lot. A lot,...
News Combination of 3D and Move Crucial to Virtua Tennis 4 says Producer
Passing shots

Following up on reports we posted earlier in the week, SEGA's confirmed that the Yakuza team are indeed working on a third-person sci-fi shooter known as Binary Domain

News This Is What Bayonetta Looked Like Before It Was The Bayonetta Inside Your Console
Remember Bayonetta? Yeah, that came out this year
Can you believe it? It's kinda hard, we know. Bayonetta then — that was the game that starred an American politician and ran at like 400 frames-per-second? Sure, but an original version of the game didn't move quite so fast. The YouTube video embedded after the jump reveals the game's early menus...

House Of The Dead: Overkill is one of our favourite games on the Nintendo Wii

News SEGA: "Never Say Never" To Shenmue III
Stop teasing us like this SEGA
It's actually starting to hurt. Everytime we read the words "Shenmue III" it's like a dagger to our heart. We want the game so bad, but no matter how many times it's mentioned, we know it's never coming out. SEGA West's top gaffer is the latest to mention the esteemed franchise. Mike Hayes told CVG that...

News Fans Release Amazing Sonic The Hedgehog Project
Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was pretty good
But there's a sense that it could have been better. We're not saying the personal project of Phelikan13 and Mercury is better than Sonic 4, but it definitely gives the SEGA-created title a run for its money. Sonic Fan Remix, which is available to download through here, recreates three acts from Emerald...
SEGA's confirmed the next set of Dreamcast re-releases, due to hit the PlayStation Network in 2011
The sexy dance-a-thon Space Channel 5: Part Two and SEGA Bass Fishing are among the goods, it'd be ace if the latter supported the PlayStation Move but there's no word on that yet. We were big fans of Space Channel 5 back in the day. Part Two actually...

Reviews for Platinum Games' upcoming three-dimensional sh'mup have gone live, and they're pretty darn favourable. The traditionally harsh Eurogamer has plopped a big-fat 9 on the title, while GameSpot and NowGamer both went for 9 and 9.3 respectively. Videogamer's gone for an 8 and
News Eight-Minute Yakuza: Of The End Gameplay Trailer Is Certainly The Best Thing You'll Watch Today
Phew, where to start? How about -- they're seriously putting zombies in the Yakuza franchise
We did wonder if this was all just a joke. But there's no way SEGA would put together an eight-minute gameplay trailer for a game that's just a bit of fun. So first up: Yakuza: Of The End is real. It also looks janky as hell, in a totally amazing way. The...
News If You're Not Excited About Vanquish Then You Need Your Head Checking
Cover-based third-person shooters are getting awfully predictable
But Vanquish, from legendary game designer Shinji Mikami, is anything but predictable. Oh, it's still a cover-based third-person shooter — but it's also ten times more awesome than that. You can drift, you can slow-down time and there are robotic creatures the size of a small planet...
News Crazy Taxi Looks A Lot Like This When Played On The PlayStation Network
Look, there's no Offspring
We're sorry. We want them in there too, but they're not. We've no idea who the band in this trailer is but they're not that bad. Well, ok, they're terrible — but so are the Offspring. The Offspring are only good because they trigger memories of your earlier days. Oh, and that "Want You Bad" song was passable...

News There's A Fair Dose Of Punching In This Captain America: Super Soldier Trailer
Punching people
Sometimes that's an enjoyable mechanic in video games. Going by this debut trailer, Captain: America: Super Soldier appears to have plenty of it. If SEGA can make that punching fun and not repetitive, Super Soldier could be a success. What are the chances though?
News Platinum Games Actively Developing A "Big Multiplayer Title"
Platinum Games are renowned for being, well, a bit amazing
Bayonetta has a huge cult following and the upcoming Vanquish is destined to sell about 4 million copies too few (it looks brilliant). So the thought of them tackling a multiplayer game gets us a bit excited — namely because online multiplayer needs more forward thinking like we're certain...
News Yakuza 4 To Get Less Cuts Than Its Predecessor, Claims SEGA
The furore surrounding Yakuza 3's cuts were a bit exaggerated
No-one likes getting half a game, but when it came to Yakuza 3 there was more than 50 hours worth of content still on the disc. The removal of hostess bars was a silly move by SEGA, something the publisher admits to. That's why they're being a lot smarter with the Western handling of...

Bayonetta's creator, Hideki Kamiya, might have nothing to announce regarding a sequel to the crazy brawler; but he "believes" in it
"I believe so," he said when asked if there'll be a sequel to the critically acclaimed game. "She'll be back if you believe so." The previous game released early this year. Keep believing, we guess.
News TGS 10: So Why Exactly Is The Yakuza Franchise Getting Zombies?
Traditionally, the Yakuza franchise is a fairly serious one
It typically deals with family, politics and friendships. There's some exaggeration to its narrative for sure (it's a video game!), but on the whole it's a pretty grounded franchise. Yakuza: Of The End introduces zombies, however. That's kind of unusual for a franchise so set in reality. So...

News TGS 10: Ok, We're Sold... Yakuza: Of The End Is Going To Be Ay-May-Zing
Yesterday, we weren't too keen on the idea of SEGA shoving zombies into the Yakuza franchise
But after seeing the game's bonkers TGS trailer, we're totally sold on the bizarre marriage. So what if it does away with everything the Yakuza franchise has stood for over the past few years — some might argue it's a change the franchise needed. And to be...

First Impressions Vanquish on PlayStation 3 Demo
In many ways, Vanquish is exactly what you'd expect it to be
It's Japanese developers attempting to create a Western game. And so it feels distinctly like Gears Of War. Character movement is chunky, targeting is smooth and the gun-play is beefy and responsive. But it's also being developed in Japan; so it's all a bit bonkers. For example, your...
