Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 Getting Vinyl Collections
The Sega Dreamcast, although it was a flop, did have so many bright moments. Say what you want, but that is where Sonic games truly shined in my opinion. Yes, they are dated and at times ridiculous, but Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are both classics in my book. Part of this is because of how wonderful the music was; whether it was from the opening hooks of Open Your Heart, to the greatest opening lev...[Read More]
Jet Set Radio Coming to XBLA/PSN/PC
The Dreamcast was ahead of its time in both hardware and software. Many memorable and unforgettable experiences appeared on the Dreamcast and found homes on digital download platforms years after their original platform’s demise. Crazy Taxi, the Power Stone games, Resident Evil CODE: Veronica, Space Channel 5, Samba de Amigo, Virtua Tennis, and more have all found success following the Dream...[Read More]
Review: Space Channel 5 Part 2 (XBLA)
I have very fond memories of Ulala and her dancing heroic antics in the original Space Channel 5. I had never, however, played Space Channel 5 Part 2, which was originally exclusive to the Dreamcast in Japan, until it was re-released on the PlayStation 2. The sequel was generally regarded as superior to its predecessor in terms of graphics, gameplay, game length, and more, but its limited release ...[Read More]
Review: SEGA Bass Fishing (XBLA)
I’ve never been a big fan of fishing games. Part of that, I’m sure, is that I’ve never been a big fan of fishing in general. I find it to be extremely boring. Back in my Dreamcast days, SEGA Bass Fishing was a game I never gave any attention to, and it was definitely not one of the first that would come to mind if asked which classic Dreamcast games should be re-released on XBLA ...[Read More]
E3 2011: First Glance at the Wii U
Nintendo pulled a slightly expected fast one on the crowds of people at 2011 E3. In the chaotic mess of E3, through the thousands of people swarming around, and the hundreds of games being presented, there was new hardware being presented, only one year later after Nintendo announced their new handheld, the 3DS. The Wii U, the next generation unit from Nintendo, was announced this year to the publ...[Read More]
Review: Virtua Tennis 4 (360)
I’ve been looking forward to Virtua Tennis 4 since it was announced. I may or may not have mentioned it before on the site (I totally have), but Virtua Tennis for the SEGA Dreamcast is one of my absolute favorite video games. I was a Virtua Tennis MASTER. Adding achievements, a multi-stage World Tour mode, a strong (but fundamentally flawed) character creation system, and vastly improved gra...[Read More]
Virtua Tennis 4 PS3 Trailer
Yesterday we got to see some of the exclusive content coming to the PlayStation 3 version of SEGA’s Virtua Tennis 4. As a note, I better be getting Agassi (I’ll also settle for McEnroe or Sampras) as an exclusive on my 360. Moving on, though, today we get to see gameplay footage of Virtua Tennis 4 as it will appear on the PlayStation 3.
PS3 Gets Exclusive Virtua Tennis 4 Content
Virtua Tennis 4 hits the 360, PS3, Wii, and PC on May 10, 2011 (May 14, 2011 for EU). When that day comes, PS3 owners will get a great little handful of exclusive content not available to 360/Wii/PC players. I can only hope that the 360 gets similar treatment and receives its own set of exclusives, since I don’t have a PS3, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I am desperat...[Read More]
Mod Chip Criminals
Console modding may very well become a criminal offense in the near future. This last Tuesday, a trial began in Southern California that could begin the creation of a much larger definition as to what a person is legally allowed to do with the products they buy.
Top Spin 4 Announced – With Totally Radical Pre-Order Bonus
The Persian side of my family has always been deeply into Tennis and Soccer (football, if you’re not American). When I would visit as a kid, the summer would be full of watching one particular player: Andre Agassi. In the late 80s/early 90s, even if you didn’t care about tennis, you knew who Andre Agassi was just by seeing his long blonde hair(piece). He was the man. And now, with ...[Read More]
The Return of the Dreamcast
September 9, 1999 is a day that will live in gamers’ memories for a long time. It marked the release of SEGA’s Dreamcast console. The Dreamcast’s graphics, online gameplay, and hardware were ahead of its time creating a community of enthusiasts that still regard the Dreamcast as one of their favorite consoles (myself included). Fans of the Dreamcast’s memorable and incred...[Read More]
Dreamcast Goodness
Wow, we’ve really fallen behind on our posting. Sorry about that, but it couldn’t be helped. I needed a bit of a break from having to think of something every single day. Hopefully I’m ready to get back into the swing of things! A few weeks ago, during one of our MehCast episodes, we discussed my broken Dreamcast console and how I truly missed it. One of our amazing viewers, ...[Read More]
