ATEI 2008 - Virtual Reality or Virtual Insanity?

As I mentioned in my previous ATEI article, Sega had some very different machines on display at the show this year, some non-interactive machines.
Well I say non-interactive, but I guess they are a little interactive, as the user does need to press a few buttons to get the machine going.  But once it has started, it’s […]

What?  Don’t tell me you can’t remember what the ATEI show is?  We had about 10 articles on it last year!

Wii Ghost Squad sounding pretty good

CVG, just posted up a copy, of the import-review, from NGamer, for Ghost Squad, (Got all that? Good).  And from the sounds of it, the game should be pretty darn sweet.

Sega Racer TV coming March 2008

We have some info on AMPlus’ (ex-Digital Rex) new title - Sega Racer TV, which is set to hit the Japanese arcades in March 2008.
After the huge mysteries called Psy-Phi and Shenmue Online, I question if we will ever play a AMPlus game. I do hope that Sega Racer TV is a huge hit, […]
