Based on the James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic) Alien and Aliens movie series, Aliens Infestation on the Nintendo DS allows gamers to lead their own hunt against the deadly xenomorphs. Inspired by the films, you will visit authentic locales such as Sulaco and LV-426 as you engage with your Colonial Marines in this side scrolling game that is also reminiscent of the excellent Metroid series. As you search these areas, missions are generally a search and destroy tactic with the odd NPC thrown in here and there plus stealth is sometimes a key to victory.
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.
