Review: The Golden Compass (Wii)

 
Well I’m sure you have all read Chris’ wonderful review about the Xbox 360 version of Sega’s latest licensed game. Chris’ opinion of the game was not too good, giving it a, below average, 4/10 score.

I’m sure at some point in the planning stages, Shiny Entertainment had a […]

Sega: Golden Compass could be the next Lord of the Rings

That might sound a bit crazy to some people, as Lord of the Rings has a massive fan base, and while Phillip Pullman’s trilogy is quite popular, I’m sure there are many people who still have no idea what it is.

“Lord Of The Rings was a fantastic success which not only delivered for the core […]

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.

Sega’s Leipzig booth revealed

I’m sitting here high atop the mountains of Korea hunkered down with soldiers, Marines and seamen … yes, lots and lots of seamen. Even though the man military has me down right now, it won’t stop me from bringing my brothers the news they care about.
