CCC Says: "In today’s market, SEGA often gets forgotten, lost underneath the circus created by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. However, talked about or not, SEGA’s contributions helped shape the gaming world today. In respect for the company’s massive history, we list its ten best games. "
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
I loved the classic Shining games, and the original Phantasy Star was a superb game.
Jet Set radio, Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon and Sonic.
Ah.
Good times.
I miss the Dreamcast days.
The thing died so young . . .
Skies of Arcadia is on my list.
I was expecting the actual 10 best games, not a list of SEGA franchises. Regardless, while I don't know where it would place on a list of best SEGA games, Vanquish is a hidden gem. It's not one of the best shooters this generation, but it's in that next tier of really good ones. It's challenging, frantic and visually cool. I'd put it in the same category as Binary Domain, Rage and Red Faction: Guerrilla - very cool, very competent shooters that lack that certain something to make it truly special but are nonetheless highly enjoyable.
