Imagine that. Another new Dreamcast game is about to come out. We could roll back the years and do a review of it, if the Dreamcast has survived the hell of being in the loft for the last 18 months, and if the VGA box is in the place where the VGA box logically ought to be (cables bag #2).

The game doesn’t appear to be pushing the hardware to its limits. You could, therefore, say that Dreamcast is still to peak.

“With its 2D graphics and old school gameplay, Rush Rush Rally Racing is absolutely nothing like Gran Turismo, so you might actually like it. Also please know that if the sky were visible in this game, it would most assuredly be blue” – Roel van Mastbergen, Senile Team.

You may order the “Deluxe Edition” from an online shop for a bit over 20 quid. There’s nothing in it for us if you do. This is just a bit of community service, like we’re all still friends.

How many pieces of PLASTIC SHITE do today’s IDIOT GAMERS need? Does everything have to come in a box you can hardly carry home now?

Can someone please construct a sound-proofed white plastic case we can get in, lie down, and cry within, safe from other people being able to hear.

At least they sent this out.

And at least they sent this out. But they’re still not excused.

This looks rubbish.

PLEASE NOTE: We’re not being needlessly picky or all cool or anything just because it’s by Sony, but floaty cars that don’t move about on their suspension and stop dead upon contact with walls look very, very, very poor in this day and age.

It has the look of a boring game that hasn’t been done very well, that’s all.

But yes, the cars are very shiny. Well done on spending three years doing that, Polyphony.

Shit name. Amazing everything else. Amusement arcade operators might have a reason not to chuck it all in and give up next year.

Merely looking at it quickens the heart. Taken from here. A man called “Alex” emailed us about this last week, saying “My buddy told me that SEGA Racing Classic is actually a remake of the original Daytona USA. It’ll show up at the next AOU expo in early 2010”.

Also from Alex. Daytona USA on the telly in Australia.

Finally! The “killer app” to help PSP cement its place in gaming history as having a slightly better catalogue than Gizmondo. Sony shouldn’t have printed up the case inlays all those years ago, as “Passable 6.8” would make a GREAT quote for the box.

Well done, Chris Roper. You will have been expected to blindly love it, yet you bravely didn’t. If we had any merchandise left you’d have just won some of it. Sent in by Mr “Shine”.

OTHER QUOTES INCLUDE:

“…it pains me immeasurably to say that this is a greatly disappointing release”

“…I’m having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that this isn’t a great (or even just good) game”

“…the driving mechanics are great, if somewhat dated”

“6.8 Passable”

When we’re caught with a high-resolution photograph of a woman in athletic clothing on the computer, we can honestly get away with saying it’s for work.

That’s Julie Seymour. We’re not suggesting she’s remarkable enough to try and track down via various social networking sites, but knowing their names does make it all seem a bit more realistic. Julie’s game is called “NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer”. We wish we “knew her” in the biblical sense.

“Nell McAndrew’s Body Fitness” is several magnitudes more disappointing. And it depends what you classify as exercise, Nell.

Or will it just be like a fan project off the internet, seeing as no one good’s left at SEGA Japan any more and this is probably being developed in a portakabin somewhere in the USA anyway?

That’s “Project Needlemouse” the 2D/HD new Sonic game due in 2010. We’re prepared to go out on a limb and predict we’ll be giving it a sympathetic 2 more out of 10 than it deserves next year.

The in-game character’s bottom. The bottoms of in-game characters aren’t rude, seeing as they’re pretend, so it’s OK to imagine yourself emotionlessly pounding away at it until she says can you stop now as it’s starting to hurt.

Sent in by SEGA EUROPE Flickr account monitor “Anne” who was doing a bit of moonlighting for extra cash over on the SEGA AMERICA Flickr page.

We prefer the deep-throating monster that can suck its own cock. Anne didn’t spot this one.

Here’s the bottom again to leave you on a high note.

Cash-rich mega-publisher Activision has decided that youths and grown-ups being near its equipment is a good idea. In the case of Tony Hawk Ride, it is certainly a better idea than the actual product.

Let’s all just agree that the Tony Hawk series – and video games in general – peaked at around the period Tony Hawk 3 came out.

“I paid HOW MUCH for this SHIT?”

Since then, it’s been downhill all the way.

Having a bit of plastic does not make the game more fun.

It may make the game a better Christmas present for a friend or relative due to coming in a bigger and therefore more exciting box, but it does nothing for the experience.

This must be the other corner of the room that family is in. You’d think the family would be a bit too old to be living in a flatshare with some teenagers.

Hopefully Activision is preparing some LIFESTYLE photography to go with DJ Hero.

Well, OK then, but first someone’s going to have to send us an iPhone and make it so that it works and that this “app” appears on it. We may need a printout with some instructions on how to get it to load, too, along with something saying what you have to press.

It’s… a something for iPhone. Something about looking at pictures of women. Noticed here by a kindly gentleman contributor. And no, today is not going to see much more ‘effort’ than this.
