Sega Nerdcast 15: Great success!

It’s that time of the month/year/well whenever we can be bothered really, again. It’s the Sega Nerdcast number 15.
We have something a little different for you this week, a change of hosts. After an intense weekend of Viking: Battle for Asgard psyching me up, I decided to overthrow the evil Chris and lock him in […]

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 […]

Skarin likes to kill stuff … a lot

[gametrailers 32067]
It just wouldn’t feel right at Sega Nerds HQ if we went an entire week without showcasing some insane Viking: Battle for Asgard bloodshed. Look, there’s not much to say about the video; it’s the usual Skarin killing everything in his path video. But it’s good … really good.

He is viking! HE IS VIKIIIIIING!!!

[gametrailers 31766]
It seems every time Sega releases a new Viking: Battle for Asgard trailer, the game seems more and more epic. Sure, it’s hard to deny that The Creative Assembly watched its fair share of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies when it set out to work on the game, but the game looks […]

Viking: Battle for Asgard gets an intro video

[gametrailers 31680]
Okay, I don’t really know what to think of this newly released introduction video for Viking: Battle for Asgard. I dig the narration and use of art stills, but the music doesn’t seem to flow with what’s going on in the video at times.
The transition from the art stills to actual gameplay is pretty […]

For those of you who don’t know (which would be most people outside the UK), GAME is the UK’s leading video games store. 
Just like any typical gaming store, they cater for all areas of gaming, including Sega Nerds now, it seems.

Viking: Battle of Asgard trailer 3

[youtube XNk4YB2VRZI]
Check out the newest trailer for Sega’s Viking: Battle of Asgard, developed by The Creative Assembly, the guys behind the critically acclaimed Total War series. I’m getting a strong Lord of the Rings vibe from this game, in a good way.
You will take control of Skarin “A warrior who could inspire an army to […]

Viking: Battle of Asgard trailer 2

Hey guy, Check out this awesome new trailer for the up coming Sega game developed by The Creative Assemble, who where also behind the hit Total War series.

The game kind of reminds me of a mix between Lord of the Rings and Viking mythology, which in my opinion is a pretty sexy combinaiton. The […]
