Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown | PS4 ReviewJune 9th, 2021
Virtua Fighter 5 has been the latest entry in the Virtua Fighter series for a whopping 15 years. On one hand it’s sad that the series has been dormant so long, but 5 and its subsequent revisions (including Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown) stood the test of time, and if a sixth game was off the table, a modern port of 5 would more than suffice for many people. Click here to read our full review of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown on the PS4. Running Through Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown’s Arcade Mode | Video SpotlightJune 5th, 2021
Enjoy a run-through of the game’s Arcade Mode as Eileen, and try not to judge my own fighting game skills too hard. I tried my best, honest!

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 The Official Video Game Finally Releasing in the West June 22nd 2021May 26th, 2021
SEGA America and SEGA Europe have finally committed to bringing Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game to the West and the game is set for a June 22nd 2021 release. Originally releasing in Japan on the 24th of July 2019, SEGA America and SEGA Europe seemed to shelve plans to release the game in favour of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, which released in November 2019. Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game takes a more realistic approach to its presentation and features 18 different events to compete in with up to 8 player online multiplayer alongside local multiplayer features. Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game will release for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Stadia on June 22nd 2021. Check out the new release trailer below: Roger Craig Smith Returning to Voice Sonic the Hedgehog After 4 Month AbsenceMay 26th, 2021
In a bizarre sequence of events, Roger Craig Smith is returning to voice Sonic the Hedgehog after only 4 months away from the role. Smith originally announced that he was leaving the role on January 28th 2021 after 10 years of being the voice of Sonic. We can only speculate why Smith stepped down from the role in January and why he has now returned to it, but it could well be a simple case of his contract expiring and SEGA not initially renewing it until now. Sonic fans will have recognised Smith’s narration in yesterday’s ‘Unstoppable’ video, made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. A Sonic Central event will take place tomorrow May 27th 2021 at 5pm UK time to reveal “upcoming projects, partnerships, and events to celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary”. Sonic Central 30th Anniversary Livestream Event Promises First Look at New Sonic Projects on 27th May 2021May 25th, 2021
SEGA will hold a special Sonic Central 30th anniversary event on Thursday 27th of May 2021 at 5pm UK time. The event promises, “a first look at some of our upcoming projects, partnerships, and events to celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary”. The show will stream live on youtube.com/sonic and twitch.tv/sonic. SEGA have also released a celebratory 30th anniversary video called ‘Unstoppable’ which takes a brief look back at the entire Sonic franchise in a similar style to the Pokemon Sun & Moon adverts that ran a few years back. Check it out below: The ‘Unstoppable’ video also features narration by Roger Craig Smith who had previously revealed he was stepping down as the voice of Sonic. If this is true then this video might be the last time Smith is involved with the Sonic franchise. |
