Get your first glimpse of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 gameplay
Apr 27th
As is expected with any Hatsune Miku title, the latest game starring the Vocaloid icon is already stirring up some buzz among fans. Sega is feeding the fire with the first gameplay trailer, which debuts some cheery tapping gameplay for the track “Nekoko no Payapaya.”
While rhythm games have never been my thing, I’ve always found the 3DS to be a pretty receptive platform for the genre. Of course, button pressing works fine, but something about hearing yourself tap on the screen really helps with keeping the beat. Based on the trailer alone, it looks like that touch screen will be a very big part of Project Mirai 2.
It’s still pretty unlikely we’ll see this game make it out West, but with the Hatsune Miku Facebook campaign still garnering quite a few “Likes,” I’d say there’s more hope now than there ever was before.

Sega Amusements shows off Harpoon Lagoon machine in new trailer
Mar 24th
It’s kind of nostalgic to be talking about an old school arcade machine isn’t it?
Well if this new promotional trailer for Harpoon Lagoon proves anything it’s that Sega are at least still confident in the arcade industry. In this advert Sega shows us just how the machine works with the help of a very happy American lady. The game involves an aquatic adventure which up to 4 people can embark on and if that tickles your fancy then you can view the trailer above.
…I don’t know why but the narrators voice really amuses me.

New Dreamcast game Sturmwind still a thing, coming in April
Mar 18th
We’ve been hearing universally glorious things about Duranik and Redspotgames’ upcoming shooter for what feels like an eternity now. When they missed their prospective release date last year, the latest addition to the Dreamcast family sadly drifted into the periphery.
Well it seems that celebrations are in order, as the developers have announced that Sturmwind is indeed still coming, with a new release date of April 24th. With a total of 7 worlds made up of 16 stages and 20 boss fights, this thing sounds like no small adventure for your beloved box o’ dreams. I don’t know why you wouldn’t have your Dreamcast as a permanent fixture in your living room, but if you don’t, it’s time to drag Rocky out of retirement.
You can read the silly faux-military press release after the jump. Tell me you’re as excited as I am.

The Aliens: Colonial Marines Tactical Multiplayer trailer makes marines look like sitting ducks
Feb 2nd
Now this is the good stuff.
The latest trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines shows off what has arguably been the most hyped aspect of the entire game–the Left 4 Dead-esque multiplayer. With quick peeks at new Xeno classes like the Lurker, Xeno abilities like Smoke Screen, and Marine abilities like…um…Revive Teammate, this fun little trailer makes playing as a Xenomorph look exhilarating as hell, and makes playing as a Marine look like a harrowing suicide mission.
And that’s how it should be.
The latest Hatsune Miku: Project F trailer is pretty darn catchy
Jan 30th
This trailer for the PS3 version of Hatsune Miku’s latest (Project F, as opposed to Project f on the Vita) is as charming as the Vocaloid singer has ever been, and presents a handful of tunes sung from the digital vocal chords of various friends of the Hatsune. These games have never really interested me, but even I have to admit these songs are pretty charming.
The game will introduce a handful of brand new Hatsune Miku tracks, including:
- “A Thousand Cherry Blossoms” by Kurousa-P
- “Rin-chan Now!” by Owata-P
- “Dream Eater Shirokuro Baku” by Nem
- “Tokyo Teddy Bear” by Neru
- “Tell Your World” by livetune
- “Sweet Devil” by Hachioji P
Project Diva F hits the Playstation 3 in Japan on March 7th. Of course, I wouldn’t hold my breath on this game making it stateside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the music in the meantime.

The monologue from the Aliens: Colonial Marines “Kickass” trailer is not from the game (THANK GOD)
Jan 30th
When the latest Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer hit the web a little while back, our reaction was…well, not good. That was due in large part to an oddly out-of-place voice over barking expletives and horrid one liners that just didn’t feel congruous with the tone set by previous ads.
Well, that’s apparently because that wince-inducing monologue is not actually in the game. Shortly after the trailer first hit the web, Gearbox Software creative director Mikey Neumann piped up on Twitter to allay our concerns,
The dialog in the Aliens trailer today is not from the game. I also did not write it. Love you!
— Mikey Neumann (@mikeyface) January 24, 2013
I kind of assumed that this was nothing more than a blatant grab for the military FPS crowd, but I’d be lying if I said that speech didn’t have me a little concerned. It’s nice to have some confirmation that this is just another entry in a long line of Sega’s marketing snafus.
At least the trailer looked really cool.

The newest Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer wants you to feel like a badass
Jan 25th
With the release of Aliens: Colonial Marines just a few weeks away, Sega has released a new “Kickass” trailer–yes that’s what it’s called–that is very obviously pointed in the direction of the military FPS crowd.
As with all the other trailers for the game, the action looks lovely and thrilling, but this one includes a debriefing speech delivered by what sounds like a hardened, grizzled general, featuring such cringe-worthy one-liners as “We’re not just fighting for the human race; we’re fighting for the title of baddest motherf***ers in the galaxy. That’s a battle I intend to win.” Ugh.
Anyway, monologue aside, the shooting still looks great, and the last few moments featuring power loader combat look pitch perfect. I just hope the motif of “badass” doesn’t trump the fear in the full game, as military shooters just aren’t my bag.
