A demo for The House of the Dead III is now available on the PlayStation Network, but zombie slayers take note, it’s exclusive to PS Plus members until the 21st of February.
South African videogame distributor Ster Kinekor Entertainment has announced today that the company has entered into a distribution partnership with SEGA.
SEGA’s robot-imbued action game, Binary Domain, has been in and out of videogame headlines very sporadically since its announcement in late 2010, but the release of the game is all-of-a-sudden upon us, and is now due for release at the end of February (as opposed to the previously announced mid-February launch).
We’re right about nearing the heart of Summer here in South Africa, and you would think that it would be a good idea to gallop outdoors and engage in some sun-drenched activities and sports, with time for some fun in the pool, too.
If you’re the winner of this fantastic Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games hamper, however, you might just be tempted to get all of your sporting needs indoors instead, while shielding yourself from scary Mr. Sun with the keen backpack and notepad.
Who is the winner of the hamper? Good question!
SEGA has recently gone and confirmed rumours that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II is in the works and readying for release across consoles and mobile devices this year.
Sega has been bitten by the holiday spirit bug and is offering some very nice discounts on select PlayStation Network, iOS and Xbox LIVE Arcade games for the holiday period.
English-speaking fans of the Yakuza series have been spoilt for choice in recent years, with a new Yakuza game releasing every March in Western territories. This trend looks set to continue with the imminent release of Yakuza: Dead Souls - a PS3 exclusive set after the events of Yakuza 4 and featuring a likeable cast of gun-toting yakuza pitting their expertise against hordes of clambering undead.
Rise of Nightmares for Kinect is a game that sets a few milestones, both globally in terms of being the first M-rated Kinect game released and personally in terms of being my first real foray into Kinect gaming. The game is published and developed by SEGA and touted as a survival horror videogame - certainly an interesting approach to the Kinect controller considering that almost every other Kinect game presently available is geared towards family entertainment.

It’s been twenty years since Sonic first raced onto the scene in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive. The spiky blue speedster has had his fair share of ups and down during the last two decades but is back with a bang in Sonic Generations.
The game is essentially a tribute to two decades worth of Sonic titles, featuring levels, characters and bosses that will be instantly familiar to fans of the series - this is not, however, an attempt on Sega’s part to cash in on Sonic’s 20th anniversary. Rather, Sonic Generations is packed to the brim with entertaining content designed to appeal to anyone who’s ever enjoyed a 2D or 3D platformer.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Sega’s iconic mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. To commemorate this special occasion and raise awareness for the recently released Sonic Generations, Sega has posted a fascinating featurette which explores the creation of the spiky speedster.
It’s very easy to make a game frightening by intelligently placing cheap scares along the way to get a few jumps out of players, but it’s a lot more difficult to flood an experience with extreme tension and horror to add impact to those cheap scares.
Things like ambient sounds, moody lighting and atmospheric environments all contribute to the tension of a game, which ultimately lead to moments of catharsis to allow you to let off some steam and release that tension… before starting all over again.
No wonder gamers are such a twitchy lot!
The latest high-speed adventures of the Blue Speedster have been encased in videogame form and released to retailers across North America today, while those of us situated in other parts of the world will be able to grab the game later this week on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
What game are we talking about? Sonic Generations of course, and a new opportunity for SEGA to wow us with its latest vision for the long-running (ahem) action platforming franchise.
It’s been twenty years since Sonic first burst onto the scene as Sega’s answer to Nintendo’s Mario. Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) was an instant classic on the Mega Drive and led to a flurry of sequels, including fan favourite Sonic the Hedgehog 2 just one year later.
Sega has announced that the 3DS version of Sonic Generations will release on November 22nd in the US and three days later in PAL territories - roughly three weeks after the game launches on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The handheld version of Sonic Generations is being undertaken by Japanese developer Dimps, who was also responsible for Sonic Colors on the DS.
