1Up’s Vanquish Preview
Posted on September 2, 2010 by tailsthehedgehog
Vanquish Boss Battle, posted with vodpod
And now it’s time for another Vanquish Preview! Under the watchful eye of many gaming outlets, Vanquish has steadily lived up to, and is expected to live up to upon debut, the pedigree of Platinum Games. Why? This time 1up is going to tell us why. Thierry Nguyen is the man behind the pen, and he puts heavy emphasis on the dual-culture nature of Vanquish, saying:
there’s a pretty equal blend of Japanese aesthetics and style with traditional Western cover-based gunplay…
Which is all very great, it’s all we’ve been hearing about these last few months. The tasty stuff is in the gameplay:
While the aiming and the shooting are generally responsive like any other shooter, it’s the combination of the extra style bits outlined earlier that make Vanquish feel special. It’s a game where I can powerslide into a robot and uppercut them with a move straight out of Street Fighter.
The preview is of decent size, and you can read the full thing in the link above. Standing out from the crowd in a smooth blend of over-the-top Japanese aesthetics and western gunplay mechanics? Stomping onto America’s turf and telling them they’re not the only ones that can make this sort of thing awesome? Vanquish, come on over.

Sonic Free Riders – Offical Box Art revealed!
Posted on August 31, 2010 by maxcady128
It turns out it’s not an XBLA title, it’s a boxed release, but there’s more:
Sonic Free Riders brings full body motion controlled fast-paced boarding action, developed to take full advantage of Kinect for the Xbox 360. You’ll be twisting and turning your way through a range of visually stunning courses in an action-packed Sonic experience unlike any other! Kinect’s unique motion sensor means Sonic Free Riders will see family and friends controlling their fully customizable hover board or bike by twisting, turning, and jumping in an exhilarating race to be first to cross the finish line.
Choosing from one of your favorite Sonic characters or your own avatar, you can reach out and grab a variety of pickups along the course. By throwing, shaking, or swinging your arms to launch your items, you can gain the competitive edge over your rivals in high octane single or multiplayer races.
Sonic Free Riders will be $49.99 when it hits shelves this holiday season.

Sonic Adventure XBLA/PSN arrives on September 15th! For 800 Microsoft Points!
Posted on August 31, 2010 by maxcady128
Sega will no doubt issue a full press release soon, but know that Sonic Adventure, the first of many Dreamcast classics that are bound for digital distribution channels, will arrive on September 15th:
Mark your calendars for September 15th if you want to get your hands on the first of a series of Dreamcast titles that Sega plans to bring to Xbox Live Arcade with added features including Acheivements.
Crazy Taxi was also announced in the line up is currently without a release date.
Sonic Adventure will be release on Xbox Live Arcade on September 15th for 800 MS points.
So I guess, they are selling this game for roughly 8€. I guess it’s a fair price, it’s very unlikely that you can get a much better deal on Ebay when it comes to this game(though the PC version is still easy to find and dirt cheap). It will be nice to relive those found Dreamcast memories. And I sure hope this is the first of many potential Dreamcast re-releases.

Archie Comics now shipping Sonic comics overseas
Posted on August 31, 2010 by maxcady128
If you’re one of those people who has to buy comics through Ebay and always to worry about not having to miss an issue, this is good news for you:
Today Archie Comics announced its offer of international shipping for subscriptions to any of the comics it produces online–including both Sonic franchises.
The “overseas” option is a significant addition to what was once availability of just graphic novels to customers outside the US and Canada. Only a handful of countries appear exempt from international shipment–we don’t see availability for places like Iraq, Vietnam, and the Phillippines, for example. The offer is available through the Archie Comics online shop. Such opportunity comes with a $13 premium charge over the domestic subscriptions.
It would also be great if Archie would also release these comics in digital format, you know, like selling them as adobe pdf files so you can read them on your iPhone or iPad, it would cut on shipping costs, but at least, they have an international shipping option.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 gets a 9.0 from IGN. Full Video Review here!
Posted on August 31, 2010 by maxcady128
The sequel is here and it’s apparentely just as good as the original, according to IGN. Sega took a huge chance with releasing a sequel from the PS3 and moving it to the PSP, but it appears to have payed off. Good for them.
