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!
So does a […]

SGD08: Valkyria Chronicles preview

I’ve been eagerly anticipating Valkyria Chronicles. I couldn’t wait for a chance to play it in English. I mean, I can’t import it… I don’t know how to speak or write Japanese! Sega thought it would be funny to make me mad. They showed off the retail Japanese version at the event. The worst […]

SGD08: Valkyria Chronicles features Japanese and English voices

Good news for all Sega Nerds out there: Valkyria Chronicles will feature both the English dub tracks and Japanese voice tracks in one package, which should appease everyone. Kudos to Sega for this!
I hope we won’t hear anything about bad voice work, since now you can always switch it to the Japanese voices (or maybe […]

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. […]

SGD08: Samba de Amigo hands on

Samba de Amigo is one of those underrated party games. It’s a great game to make a complete fool of yourself after a few drinks, but guess what? You don’t care, cause you’re having so much fun.
I don’t like the game’s music or the type of music in it, but it really grows on you. […]

SGD08: Golden Axe: Beast Rider preview

I don’t know what it is about Golden Axe: Beast Rider, but there are a lot of people out there looking forward to it. I guess that happens every time Sega revives an old IP. Everyone in the forum so far has mixed reactions on this game. Some say it looks horrible, others good, and […]

SGD08: Golden Axe: Beast Rider sequel in the works?

When asked about the playability of Gilius Thunderhead and Ax Battler in the upcoming Golden Axe: Beast Rider, a PR person said no. But then he said something I didn’t expect: that the characters’ stories interweave with each other’s and they will finally meet up at the end, setting up a sequel.
First of all I […]

SGD08: The Incredible Hulk hands on

Sega had a Hulk booth, and I didn’t even notice it. It was the last thing I saw at the event. There was a constant group of people playing it in a little huddle, laughing when they threw cars at people.Let me start off by saying that I never played Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Licensed […]
