Sega at The Game Awards last week made a splash in its announcement that it was rebooting five classic Sega games: Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Crazy Taxi. “In recent years, Sonic the Hedgehog has forged new paths for SEGA, bringing the franchise to life and reaching new audiences in ways we had…
And so, the era of leaked documents continues, but this time we are going back on a Nostalgic trip to 1996. During this time period, Nintendo was king, and about to unleash the most powerful video gaming system (PC or otherwise) known to man in the Nintendo 64. Sega had a leg up on Sony…
Fortunately, this article about Skies of Arcadia is not an April Fool’s satire, as the news broke out a few days before April 1st.

Sonic 3-D games, for the most part, have sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I highly enjoyed Sonic Adventure back in 1999-2000, but that might be the only 3-D game in the franchise that I thought was any good. My son (who is 5 years old) loves Sonic, he loves Mario too (and has played dozens…
Bernie Stolar passed away this week (at age 75). He is best remembered within the world of video games for his exploits as Sony Computer Entertainment of America’s Vice President during the PlayStation’s early days and as Sega’s President of the American branch during the late Saturn early Dreamcast era. He successfully laid the groundwork…
When we think about old classic turn-based Japanese Role-Playing games, Final Fantasy Tactics and the Shining Force series come to mind.
