Back on track
SEGA' has today announced London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games will include Kinect features.

Here's the first trailer, with work in progress screenshots below. CREATE.. Continue Reading »
News: Binary Domain Trailer is Bigger Than You Think
New release dates too
SEGA's cyborg shooter Binary Domain will support Kinect for voice commands, which seems to be the in thing with hardcore games this year: Mass Effect 3 and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will also support the sensor for talking to your team. None of them has quite the same level of madcap action as Binary Domain. Coming from Super Monkey Ball and Yakuza creator.. Continue Reading »

News: Rise of Nightmares Racked Up a Scary 200,000 Sales
The horror
SEGA's Rise of Nightmares was a big hope for the future of hardcore gaming on Kinect, but the company's internal sales figures have revealed it didn't quite do the business. The sensor's first and only 18/M-rated game has sold 200,000 copies around the world since launch. When you consider the sensor has shifted around 10m units in the past year, 200,000 doesn't seem like a lot, but we.. Continue Reading »
News: Rise of Nightmares Comic is Huge, Weird and So, So Gory
So ticks all the boxes
Regardless of what you thought about Rise of Nightmares, it wasn't short on blood and guts, and neither is the new comic put out by SEGA to promote the game. Titled Rise of Nightmares: The Lost Tapes of Roland Childs, the comic is pretty gory but also pokes a little fun at itself in places, particularly exactly why there are so many cassette tapes lying around. It's twisted.. Continue Reading »
News: In Rise of Nightmares, You Are the Controller
And a killer too
Rise of Nightmares is out this week, and in a last-ditch attempt to get you to part with your money SEGA has released a new trailer showing exactly why this game is heading to Kinect: you are the controller. Stressing the fact you don't need buttons or thumbsticks, the latest video also arrives with a heavy dose of sarcasm and a few pointed barbs at those who said a hardcore game.. Continue Reading »

To arms

News: Are These Rise of Nightmares Screens Gory Enough For You?
We can bloody them up if not
Rise of Nightmares is slowly sneaking up on Kinect, and SEGA has let rip with 15 new screenshots showing off what's sure to be Kinect's goriest game ever.

Fear takes over
SEGA's scare-a-thon Rise of Nightmares is due for release in September, according to the latest release schedule from the publisher. Early rumours suggested the game would be released by now but SEGA presumably saw sense in not releasing a frightening game during the longest, brightest days in the year.

News: Binary Domain Video Shouts a February 2012 Release
Kinect commands are confirmed
SEGA's all up in the shooter business these days, with this year's superb Vanquish showing others how it's done.

SEGA sent over a new trailer setting the scene for the shooter's story, which also revealed the game's.. Continue Reading »
News: SEGA Reaffirms Commitment to Kinect
Still on (hover) board
SEGA's sole contribution to the Kinect catalogue so far is Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, with Rise of Nightmares out soon, but don't expect the publisher's support to stop there.

News: Rise of Nightmares Trailer Goes Bump in the Night
No gameplay though
SEGA's Rise of Nightmares is just one of the hardcore games coming to Kinect later this year, and in case you haven't caught the game's E3 2011 trailer yet here it is. The trailer doesn't really give away too much about the game, other than making obvious its sources of inspiration — step forward, Saw — but if the game is half as slick as this trailer we'll be pleased. Rise.. Continue Reading »
Out Today: Virtua Tennis 4 (North America)
Court date
After a reasonably successful showing in Europe, SEGA's Virtua Tennis 4 is ready to take on the tennis tour of North America, releasing across the region today.

Switch off the racket
There's high hopes for Sega's Virtua Tennis 4, the first Kinect-enabled tennis game to hit the market.

Rumour: Rise of Nightmares Due for Release in June
BBFC reckons so
Sega's horrortastic Rise of Nightmares is well on its way to stores, as ratings are popping up all over the place: last week the ESRB rated Rise of Nightmares, and now the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has had a stab, slapping an 18 certificate on the game. According to the BBFC site, the game will release in the UK on 15th June 2011. Of course, this is just a rumour.. Continue Reading »
News: Rise of Nightmares ESRB Rating Heavy On the Sex and Violence
The mature Kinect game you've been waiting for
Sega's famous for its blue skies, but Rise of Nightmares sounds as far away from the Green Hill Zone as you can get, if the game's ESRB rating is to be believed. Sex, violence and bad language all combined to net the game a Mature rating from the ratings board, the first Kinect game to carry that particular badge of honour. The game will be played from..

Favourite franchises on the way back
Dreamcast, we hardly knew ye. It's been over ten years since Sega's beautiful white baby came into this world, kicking off a revolution still being felt today.
