Ryu ga Gotoku 2 Famitsu Scores

November 29, 2006

The Yakuza sequel, Ryu ga Gotoku, has recently been reviewed in the latest issue of Famitsu, and it’s gotten some very impressive scores.
The game scored 9 – 10 – 9 -10 (38/40), which is pretty impressive. I’m not one to really put much interest into Famitsu’s scores, but I’m still impressed that the game got [...]

November 4, 2006

In addition to the traditional control method in Virtua Tennis, there’s also going to be motion sensing controls via the Sixaxis controller for the PS3.
Here’s a picture that shows how the controls work. Personally, looks a bit shoe-horned in and forced, possibley so it can be a bullet point on the back of the game’s case.

New Arcade Lightgun Game, 2 Spicy

November 1, 2006

  

Sega’s released pics and opened the official site to a new lightgun game, 2 Spicy (insert reaction of choice to the name).
The game’s concept seems interesting. It’s a VS based lightgun game. You have two pedals on the floor to control left and right movement, and you hide behind cover (which can be destroyed) by aiming the gun [...]
