Initial D PS3 trailer
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Ryan, Sony PlayStation 3.
Check out the first trailer for Initial D: Extreme Stage on the PlayStation 3, it looks like the Arcade verion (so I hear) but that is by no means a bad thing considering this is looking pretty cool. If you are a fan of extreme drifting then this could be the game for you!
Will this come to the West? Your drift is as good as mine.

Check out these new screen shots for Sega and Obsidians new Spy based RPG Alpha Protocol. There is a good chance you wont see these anywhere else on the internet. (Unless you are a member of the Obsidian Forums where I stole them from originally…)
Personally I’m really looking forward to this game, I like western RPGs but the Sci-Fi and Fantasy settings are starting to get boring. A spy based RPG is something I can get behind!
The game is due out next year. I Can’t wait, I just hope my PC can run it!
New Sonic Unleashed teaser

Well, that was… different.
Sega just released this short CGI teaser trailer for Sonic Unleashed and well… I’m still not exactly sure what to say about it. So what does it tell us? Well it confirms that Sonic will turn into an angry werewolf at night, It also hints at dodgy voice acting. Oh and it confirms Sonic has fingernails which I’m sure will be a hot topic on any Sonic forum I’ll never go to.
On the bright side, if the werewolf thing turns out to be crap at least the other half of the game looks awesome, the glass is half full.
Sonic Chronicles new screenshots
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Nintendo DS, Ryan. Tagged with Sonic Chronicles.
From one Sonic game to another, Sonic Cult has managed to get its hands on some new screenshots showing off an area in the upcoming Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. This area is called Blue Ridge, take a look:
As you can see in the screenshots, the name fits the area well, since it is blue and full of ridges… Nice! At the risk of sounding like a weird obsessive Sonic fan, it seems humans make an appearance in this game as NPCs. I’m fine with that as long as there are animal NPCs too, it always bothers me when I’m playing Sonic games and the only intelligent life walking around the city is humans. Where are the other animals?!

Sega has released another profile trailer from their new tactical RPG, Valkyria Chronicles. This time of the big hairy manly man character Largo.
Check out this guy. I’d love to fill you in on the details, but your guess is as good as mine. I don’t know any Japanese so instead of me yapping on about it, go ahead and watch the big guy do his stuff!
Storm Chaser Trademarked
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Ryan. Tagged with Rumor Mill.
You may not know this but my passion in life is trawling through trademark websites looking for new trademarks, it makes me feel alive! No not really, that’s the passion of Kotakus writers not mine, I prefer sex…  Lucky for us they happened across a new Sega trademark of an old rumour thats been going around the Sega Nerds forum for a long time now.
The trademark is for a game called Storm Chaser and if our forum members are to be believed it is the second game from Sega Racing Studio who formed in 2005 and in 2007 released their first game Sega Rally for the Xbox360, PS3, PSP and PC.
It should be interesting to find out more.
Until then theres this:
That’s a real storm chaser!

Simon Jeffery talks Wii
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Nintendo Wii, Ryan.
Sega of Americas head honcho Simon Jeffery has spoken to Game Daily today about the Nintendo Wii, he specifically says that the Wii shouldn’t be pigeonholed as a casual gamers console and hardcore games have a place on the console too. I agree!
hardcore games on the Wii may not be getting enough traditional gaming to satisfy their needs as developers and publishers rush to flood the Wii market with more casual fare. Sega sees this as an opportunity, though, and believes the market dynamics on Wii will be changing.
This is all find and dandy Simon but talking is one thing and delivering is another, where is my Jet Set Radio Wii? or REZ? where is my Skies of Arcadia? what about my Ristar in the vain of Mario Galaxy? or Comix Zone in the vain of Viewtiful Joe?
Dare I say it… where is my Shenmue 3. (Preferably on Xbox360 but at this point I’d take it on the N-gage if your offering.)
Ok I’ll stop now…. no wait… Kid Chameleon, Toy Commander the list is endless we all know this! The amount of Sega games I would happily take on the Wii is hugh.
Back up your claim Jeffery, back up your claim!
