Special: The video arcade lives on in Austin

1985-2008
(While this isn’t a Sega-related story per se, it’s still relevant to Sega fans and all gamers in general. The video arcade is a dying industry in North America and these local businesses may someday be a thing of the past. Hopefully that won’t happen, as this story shows that the arcade community still thrives […]

SGD08: Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood hands on

If anyone fights over what they think Sonic should be, it’s definitely Sonic fans. I swear, he has some of the most passionate fans on the planet. However, I’m not going to judge Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood as a Sonic game. I mean, I already knew it wasn’t going to be fast!

SGD08: Our arrival

When we walked in there was a person at this checkout thing. He was wearing a suit and looked all snazzy. He showed us to the elevator and told us to take it to the 6th floor, where the event was being held. We got there and stood in line to sign the embargo. […]

Sega Deals: Crush for $15 at Amazon

Critically acclaimed, criminally underlooked and completely fun to play. That’s Zoë Mode’s Crush for PSP in one sentence.
In case you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to purchase one of the most innovative handheld titles this generation for a price so low it’s practically stealing from a blind, deaf and paralyzed person. […]

Sega Deals: Alien Syndrome PSP $10 at EBgames.com

If you’ve recently played Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer and have been yanking your hair out in frustration, you might think about trying a much easier, albeit equally bad game instead. EBGames is currently selling Alien Syndrome for the PSP for only $10.

Developer of Full Auto series closes shop

Pseudo Interactive, developer of the Sega-published Full Auto series, has shut down due to cutbacks at parent company SCi. Over 50 people were employed at the Toronto-based game developer as of 2006. The company was reportedly working on an unnamed project that has now been canceled.
