Sega Deals: Universe at War really cheap at Amazon

Everyone’s favorite online retailer, Amazon, has just drastically reduced the price for the 360 and PC versions of Universe at War: Earth Assault. The 360 version is currently at $21.86, and the PC is a low $12.68 - that’s absolutely sick, and there’s no good reason why you shouldn’t get this game if you don’t […]

Happy 17th birthday, Sonic!

On this day 17 years ago, our favorite blue hedgehog was unleashed upon the world and helped change the course of video gaming forever. Sonic the Hedgehog was released in North America and Europe on June 23, 1991, but Japanese gamers had to wait until late July to get their hands on the game, heh […]

Just in case - the Dreamcast checklist

Several years ago when the Dreamcast was still the apple in many a gamer’s eye, Sega released a really handy checklist for every commercially released Dreamcast title in the United States.
We actually had it available on our former site, Dreamcaster’s Realm, and many people enjoyed the download, so I offer it to you again in […]

Sonic created with Spore Creature Creator

So gamers seem to be enjoying themselves with the recently released Spore Creature Creator, creating some pretty funny and disturbing abominations. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone decided to try their hand at creating Sonic, and lo and behold, I was right.

Shiren 3 takes 10th spot in Japanese software charts

Despite my well-documented misgivings about the Shiren series, I’m happy to see its latest release seeing some success in Japan. Chunsoft’s Shiren 3 came in at 10 in last week’s Media Create Japanese software sales charts, selling 14,000 copies and putting its total sold at about 73,000 units.
Shiren 3 saw a considerable dropoff in its […]

Sega plans to show Uranus in your bathroom

No longer will you have to sneak off to the nearby lake during the wee hours of the night to enjoy the night sky while wading around in the water completely naked. That’s because Sega’s releasing the Homestar Spa Planetarium this September for only $70.

No love? Sega to end Love and Berry production

Sega’s last certifiable Japanese arcade hit, Love and Berry, appears to have lost its love with Japanese gamers as Sega announced that it will end production and support of the card-based fashion game this September.

That Crucible is a lie, Sega says don’t believe what you’ve seen

A few days ago, a supposed gameplay video of Silicon Knight’s The Crucible leaked to the internet, but it appears it’s not the game the developer is creating for Sega, according to Steve Groll at Sega of America.
“That video is not the game that Silicon Knights is creating for us. I have no idea if […]

Sonic blasts through Europe in new Unleashed trailer

Holy Shit!
That was my initial reaction after watching the newest Sonic Unleashed gameplay trailer, which showcases the High Europe stage and Sega’s new Hedgehog Engine at work. Many Sega Nerds have been critical of the game over the past few months, some even saying Sonic runs too fast, and this video probably won’t change anyone’s […]
