Review: Iron Man

Unless you have been living in a cave or a small shoebox for the last few weeks, you should all know that the Iron Man movie was released at the end of last week, and just along side the movie release Sega released their Iron Man (official movie) game.
But releasing a game along side a […]

Review: Sega Bass Fishing

It has been nearly 10 years since the original Sega Bass Fishing made a big splash (see what I did there, eh?) in the arcades and on the Dreamcast. Back then, while the concept wasn’t totally unique (Sega had released fishing games before), the delivery of the game using a special fishing rod controller, […]

Review: House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return

Light-gun games. Who hasn’t played one? It’s a simple formula, and one that can entertain people for many, many hours. Whether it be at the arcades of yesteryear or home console ports, it seems gamers will always reserve some time (or quarters) for a light-gun shooter.
Turns out SEGA feels the same way about the genre, […]

Review: Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Similar to Graham’s schoolgirl-like excitement over Viking: Battle for Asgard, Condemned 2: Bloodshot has been at the top of my most-wanted list since I wet my pants while playing Criminal Origins.
It was so damn scary, so frightening that I had trouble playing it in a darkened room. Oftentimes, I’d have to put down the controller […]

Review: Viking: Battle for Asgard (Xbox 360)

Anyone who knows me will know that the one game I have been waiting most for this year, from any developer/publisher (not just Sega), has been Viking: Battle for Asgard.  The trailers showed promise of blood, guts and some massive, intense battles.  But does the game live up to the trailers?
Well let’s just say, it […]

Review: Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer

Imagine if Satan were to create a video game. If he did, he’d probably join forces with Chunsoft to create Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer.
You see, this game is evil right down to its core. It does everything imaginable to drive you crazy, make you want to turn it off and pull out your hair […]

Review: Ghost Squad (Wii)

Anyone who has frequented arcades in the last 3 or 4 years should know the name “Ghost Squad,“   it has been one of Sega’s most popular arcade titles, in recent years, with a new version Ghost Squad Evolution being released (in Europe at least) last year.
Ghost Squad is pretty much a typical arcade lightgun game.  […]

Review: The Club (Xbox 360)

It has been nearly a week since the “Guns ‘N Gore Event” at Sega Europe HQ, where we were treated to a test run of Condemned 2: Bloodshot (which I still can’t talk about - sorry) and The Club.
Well, since then, I have spent the better part of a week playing the final version of […]

Review: PSU: Ambition of the Illuminus (PC)

Like most Sega fans I played Phantasy Star Online to death, the game was revolutionary and playing an MMO on a console was something special back then, I could meet up with my fellow Sega fans online, kill monsters, battle each other or just sit around in the lobby areas and chat about how awesome […]
