When it launches in Japan on Christmas Day (and in the west … hopefully some time soon!), Phantasy Star Zero will allow users to play online and communicate with one another via a unique Pictochat-style system. Using stylus drawings to relay information to your team-mates is certainly an original and novel [...]

Our urge to start writing Phantasy Star Zero mushy love letters on a daily basis is stronger than ever. Famitsu’s latest two-page spread on Sonic Team’s online RPG is the cause of our infatuation. According to the magazine, PS Zero will be stocked with over 350 weapons spread across sixteen categories, including [...]

The best way to figure out if if the Xbox 360 role-playing game “Fable II” is right for you is to try it. But if you manage to rent it or borrow it from a friend, you may be overwhelmed. How do you ensure that you can judge “Fable II” properly?
That’s why we do these [...]

The verdict is still out on the accuracy of the comic, but 2P Start’s Little Big Zone regardless won the popular vote for the week’s best webcomic. Sega, the spiky blue ball is in your court to prove us wrong.
Second and third place goes to Penny Arcade’s The Deluge and Dueling [...]

With Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood finally releasing and all of us having ample time to play it, we’d like to know: has it changed your opinion of the blue, spiky hedgehog? It’s quite the good game, which is weird for us considering Sonic hasn’t been in one of those for quite [...]

We return to the roots of Joystiq’s WRUP series, celebrating one of the best examples of a “missing link” between handheld and home consoles. Nintendo’s Virtual Boy wasn’t exactly sure which one it was supposed to be; 13 years later, we’re still not sure, either. Fun fact: Nintendo only shipped [...]

Supersonic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars may be one of the longest and most gameplay-representative titles of any game released this year. Controlling the titular vehicles (which actually resemble die-cast toys more than half-ton gas-guzzlers) is, appropriately, the main appeal of the game. Everything about the game, from accelerating and stopping to boosting and using the X button [...]

The latest trailer for the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed depicts the two aspects of Sonic’s latest game. The good news is that those of you who complained that the world seemed too realistic, Sonic’s daytime adventures are full of the loops and giant springs that make Sonic’s world what it is. The [...]

Oh look! It’s Sonic the Hedgehog, going up against a cool-looking knight with a bad-ass sword! NO EFFECT! Years ago I may have had to roll a saving throw against my own geekiness to avoid drowning in my drool over a game that armed Sonic with a sword, but at this point you could [...]

BioWare’s upcoming RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, will be arriving on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles by Winter 2009, the studio confirmed. The title was first announced only for the PC.
Appearing in Game Informer’s November issue, Dragon Age’s home console debut was already confirmed by game director Dan Trudge. A representative from BioWare said [...]

Comparing Sonic Unleashed to 2006’s Sonic The Hedgehog nightmare is an utterly useless endeavor. Yes, Sonic Unleashed (or Sonic World Adventure, as it’s known in Japan) is observably the superior game, but this confirmation is worthless when the previous adventure not only [...]

We’re slowly building a picture of Sonic and the Black Knight, and from the last we saw of the game, there’s a real split among Wii owners on the game. Certainly we can all agree on one thing, though: these are probably not in-game shots. Doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ‘em, though!
As you [...]

Tired of waiting for “Grand Theft Auto IV”’s downloadable content to be released? THQ and Volition have a possible solution to that problem with “Saints Row 2.”
The sequel to one of this generation’s first open-world games is bigger and wilder than the first, and based on our brief playtime, boasts some interesting multiplayer concepts.

Sega has quietly launched the beta version of their online gaming portal / social networking site PlaySega.com. The site features a handful of casual games to poke at, including Sonic at the Olympic Games, which seems to be a port of the mobile phone version of the Official Beijing Olympics tie-in.

For a publisher of their size and stature, Sega’s Tokyo Game Show booth was a little on the disappointing side. Nothing on hand was really wowing the crowd – not even the promise of a new Sonic game (Unleashed) – and were it not for the mild excitement accompanying Yakuza 3 the booth would [...]

Phantasy Star fans take note: Sega has confirmed the newest game in the series, Phantasy Star Portable, will be released in North America at long last in March 2009. The game takes place after the disappointing Phantasy Star Universe, which I think most of us have agreed to pretend never existed.
Nevertheless, the important thing here [...]
