John Parie of ThriftyNerd.com write, "Xbox Live’s Major Nelson unveiled the schedule of games, add-ons and items slated to grace the Xbox Dashboard this month. The month kicks off with Orcs Must Die, NBA JAM: On Fire Edition, Space Channel 5 and Sega Bass Fishing Oct. 5. This month’s weekly prices cuts focus on saints and shadows as well as good old fashion board and card 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."
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.
ORCS MUST DIE!!!!!!
