NIGHTS,
SONIC AND MARIO,
THE CLUB,
VIKING
CONDEMNED 2.

TGS07: Miburi & Teburi hands-on impression

What’s that?  Well of course you know what Miburi & Teburi is!  We told you about this charades-type Wii game a little while ago.
Now I should point out that the title here is a slight lie… I didn’t actually play on the game.  Once again it was due to me failing life and not being able […]

TGS07: Bleach DS hands-on impressions

 
Now I’m going to be honest, I have never seen an episode of Bleach or played a game, (if there are other games), well you would no doubt find out soon enough, from reading this, if I hadn’t told you.  I know of Bleach, that it exists, but nothing else, what it’s about of characters, […]

TGS07: Ghost Squad hands-on impressions

 
One game I’m really excited about, has got to be Ghost Squad.  I love the arcade version, which I have played a ton of over the last few years.  I’d say it’s one of my favourite light-gun games, definitely one of the best in recent years.  So I was very happy to see the new Wii […]

TGS07: Yakuza 3 video-impressions

One of Sega’s biggest hitters at TGS this year was Yakuza 3, but unlike NiGHTS and Valkyrie of the Battlefield, Yakuza 3 was not playable.  Instead everyone had to watch an extended trailer of the game. 
Unfortunately, using cameras in the mini theatre was totally forbidden, and it was kind of hard to secretly film it.  So […]

TGS07: Valkyrie of the Battlefield hands-on impressions

Next up (and hopefully a shorter piece), for my TGS coverage, is Valkyrie of the Battlefield: Gallian Chronicles, or VotB for short.
The booth itself, had a large tank ontop, and was setup to look a bit like a bunker of sorts. Outside was another sega Cosplayer, dressed up like one of the characters […]

TGS07: NiGHTS hands-on, with motion control impressions

While most other journalists and sites have been complaining about not getting the full NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams experience by only playing the game via the analog nunchuck attachment, I did the unthinkable and simply asked the assistant if I could see what the game’s motion controls were like.
After she paused the game and disconnected […]

TGS 2007: Day one overview

 
Well hello there fellow Sega Nerdians.  It is I Graham, and I have just finished for the day at Tokyo Game Show.
It was a worrying time for a while, as we were told at one point we wouldn’t be allowed Press Passes this year (another sucky thing about not being paid for this job!).  However, […]

SEGA ON at Games Convention 2007

SEGA ON is a Sega magazine from Germany. Actually, it’s the only Sega magazine still in print! One of the editors of the magazine (and a good member of our forums) promised us pictures of his trip to this year’s Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany.
Well, he delivered. Check out his flickr photoblog here. […]

Rumour: Super Hang On 2 coming to arcades?

~Apologies for dodgy mock-up~
French gaming website Neo-Arcadia has recently reported on some potential games that are set to be shown at this year’s Japanese arcade AM Show,formerly the “Jamma Show”.
The list shows titles from a few companies, including (obviously) Sega. Most of the games on Sega’s little list we already know of, except for […]
