Another Sega title to be remade?

After the success of REZ on XBLA, and the fairly decent sales of House of the Dead on the Wii, it would be inevitable that Sega should try and bring a few more of their old IPs to modern systems. According to Siliconera, the next potential game on the list is another Dreamcast title, […]
