Binary Domain and Phantasy Star Online 2 have been voted into the Top 10 games of TGS
Sep 19th
He sure seems happy!
Good news, Sega fans! The visitors have voted on their favorite games of this years Tokyo Game Show and Binary Domain has finished on the fourth place, while Phantasy Star Online 2 has finisihed at place nine.
That’s pretty surprising to me, as I didn’t expect a cover based shooter to take such a high spot. Or maybe that’s the Yakuza bonus? On a side note, the only other publisher to have more games on the list than Sega was Capcom.

Sonic CD for iOS gets first screenshots
Sep 19th
Many Sonic fans think that Sonic CD is one of the best Sonic games and I would agree with it. With the recent announcement that Sonic CD is heading to every single platform, except the Wii, the game finally seems to get the attention it deserves. Since it is also heading to iOS, we now get the first batch of screenshots and the graphics look as fine as they did on the Sega CD! Hopefully the controls will work a bit better, still having problems playing Sonic 1 and 2 on my iPhone…

These Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai screens are so cute!
Sep 17th
Hatsune Miku is super popular in Japan and Sega sure knows about that. Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai is the first game in the series for the Nintendo 3DS and it sure looks cute in these screens! But don’t be afraid, thanks to Siliconera we also got some news with these screens. It is a rhythm game (no surprise here) that uses a varying amount of buttons depending on the difficulty setting. Instead of falling notes, like in many rhythm games, you have a clock where all the notes are displayed and you only have to input the buttons at the right time. Seems simple enough, I guess.
