SEGA have announced a new multiplayer mode for Company of Heroes 2 called Theatre of War.
“Theater of War allows us to tell different stories from The Eastern Front in the form of new playable single player and co-operative content. The mode includes solo challenges where players are pitted against overwhelming odds, AI battles against an enemy commander with a unique play style and co-operative scenarios for fans to enjoy with your friends.
At the launch of COH2, the Theater of War mode will include missions from key battles in 1941. Choosing either the Soviet Red Army or the Germans, players will visit different locations across the Eastern Front and take part in some of the most famous battles that occurred that year. Each faction has 9 unique missions included. More Theater of War missions will be added to the game at a later date, including the previously announced mini-pack for all eligible pre-order customers.”
Company of Heroes 2 is released worldwide for PC on June 25th 2013.
For the release of The House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels on iOS and Android, SEGA have added Shinobi as an unlockable “weapon”. With the Shinobi weapon enabled, the original arcade graphics of Joe Musashi’s hands and throwing stars show on screen and you attack zombies with the throwing stars. Check out the screenshots below:
To unlock Shinobi for The House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels you must earn 20,000 in-game Koins. The House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels is available now for iOS and Android devices.
A lawsuit has been filed against SEGA and Gearbox Software for misrepresenting Aliens: Colonial Marines to customers.
The case has been filed by Edelson LLC on behalf of Damion Perrine. The claim reads:
“Each of the ‘actual gameplay’ demonstrations purported to show consumers exactly what they would be buying: a cutting edge video game with very specific features and qualities.
Unfortunately for their fans, defendants never told anyone – consumers, industry critics, reviewers, or reporters – that their ‘actual gameplay’ demonstration advertising campaign bore little resemblance to the retail product that would eventually be sold to a large community of unwitting purchasers.”
The House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels is an episodic re-release of The House of the Dead: Overkill for iOS. The game is now available to download with the first 2 episodes being bundled together for £2.99 with the final episode being made available as an in-app purchase for £1.49.
Unfortunately, the dialogue between Agent G and Detective Washington has been removed despite the fact that the violence hasn’t been altered.
Road Rash spiritual successor Road Redemption is being ported to Wii-U. The game is still looking for Kickstarter funding which you can take part in by clicking here.
Also detailed are RPG-esque details which are included in the single player campaign:
“As you complete missions, you earn cash for the bike shop, where you unlock new bikes with better stats, as well as have the opportunity to customize elements of your current bike, such as its color. You are able to upgrade and recruit new gang members who ride with you on missions, as well as improve your own character by buying new equipment to boost your stats such as better helmets, weapons and other equipment. Of course, some equipment can only be earned by playing certain missions.
There is also a skill system tied to experience earned by playing missions.
There will never be any in-game real money purchases in Road Redemption.”
The Road Redemption Kickstarter ends in 18 days and at the time of writing Dark Seas Games have raised $57,914 of their $160,000 goal.

SEGA have made the announcement of Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai 2 official. The game’s announcement was leaked early thanks to Famitsu, but now the official website is live and we have high quality screenshots to go with it.
Well how’s this for SEGA news: a user of the ASSEMbler forums known as Super Magnetic has posted photos of an extremely rare SEGA Saturn prototype called the SEGA Pluto.
The SEGA Pluto would have been a SEGA Saturn with a built in Netlink for dial up internet connectivity. I say “would have been” because there is rumored to be only 2 prototypes in existence, this being the 2nd. The final console obviously didn’t go into production.
