DREAMCAST LIVES!

Sega are reviving the Dreamcast brand by releasing a four in one Dreamcast game pack for PC and Xbox Live Arcade.

With their immense back catalogue we’re sure to be in for quite a treat.

Daytona?
Sega Rally 2?
Shenmue?
Jet Set Radio?

No!

Instead, they’ve opted for:
Stupid Bass Fishing
Space Channel 5 Part 2
Sonic Adventure
Crazy shitting Taxi

Apparently, they’re ‘visually enhanced’

They might even make it so you can’t fall through the floor in Sonic Adventure.

Also, two of these are already available on Xbox Live Arcade, which is certain to please anyone who’s previously purchased them.

Here’s a video of Michael Jackson in Space Channel 5 Part 2

Thinking back, Space Channel 5 wasn’t actually that good.

JAPANESE SEGA FAN “HAPPY NEW YEAR” ART

Disappointing lack of dripping cock monsters looming ominously over tearful schoolgirls that only look about 14, but it’s good to see SEGA’s remaining fan base still pines after the return of Cream to the “canon” character universe.

Not sure about the socks and sandals thing, though. It certainly isn’t as enjoyable as Kylie’s ongoing Shoe of the Day Twitter output that has taken #1 spot on the in-house internet hit parade.

WHY GAMING’S GONE TO SHIT. AGAIN!

This has only been out for five weeks and its sold over 2 million copies.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions haven’t been released at all and It’s yet to be released in Japan on any format, so this figure will grow.

Shenmue 1 & 2 (including the re-released Xbox version of Shenmue 2) COMBINED have sold less.

I don’t know the exact figures because I’m too furious to check, instead opting to make wild accusations.

Happy fucking new year games industry.

NINTENDO 3DS IN ‘POSSIBLY HARMFUL TO EYES’ NON-SHOCKER

The Sun, being the paragon of finely-researched investigative journalism it is, has uncovered a terrible truth about the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS.

It’s really ugly.

Only kidding – apparently the upcoming Nintendo handheld could damage the eyesight of children, affecting the development of their eyes. If you wish to muddy your browser then the whole article can be found here.

The Sun in "11 years behind mainstream gaming press" shocker!

Of course, this is nothing new if you were a gamer in the early 90’s when VR was at its height:

I miss GamesMaster :(

Legible version can be found here. Will this stop people from buying it for their mewling litters? Probably not. But say what you like about the Game Gear, it never sent anyone blind.
