Sega Announces Thor Game for 2011

Continuing its run of releasing games based upon Marvel's line of films set to eventually assemble as "The Avengers", Sega has announced plans to release a video game based on next year's "Thor" motion picture for all platforms. One would likely presume such a game would likely feature the titular deity running around Asgard and the real world and saving the planet from the evil forces of Loki - the typical stuff. Then again, it goes without saying that having a game made by Sega may be a task to big even for the god of thunder.

SEGA Attempt To Revitalize Phantasy Star Universe With New Expansion

Phantasy Star Online was awesome. As one of the very first online console games, SEGA's Dreamcast-based action RPG was great fun. Featuring hack-and-slash fun for up to four players simultaneously, it is very fondly remembered. When a subscription fee was introduced to the game, though, a lot of players departed. The game didn't offer enough in the way of regular brand new content to justify a regular monthly fee. As such, the game eventually breathed its last, despite re-releases on the Xbox and PC. Phantasy Star Universe was an attempt to revitalize the series with mixed reviews. In an attempt to revitalize the game, SEGA have just launched a new, free, expansion. More after the jump.

More recently, Wii titles with an M rating have found significantly less success in terms of sales when compared to M titles on other consoles. Blame the style of the game, the audience on the console or the quality of the port, but the numbers are undeniable. MadWorld and Dead Space Extraction are two examples of M rated games that essentially flopped on the charts. But the 3DS? According to Sega West President Mike Hayes, the 3DS has the potential to rope in a broader and more mature audience. Judging from the games and demos showed off last week within Nintendo's booth, we tend to agree. Hit the break for more...

Sega Boss: MadWorld a 'Mismatch' for the Wii Audience

In an interview with CVG, Sega's European (and North American) head honcho, Mike Hayes, shared his thoughts on how MadWorld didn't turn out to be a right fit for the Wii audience. "Critically it [MadWorld] got a lot of acclaim, but commercially it wasn't the success we wanted it to be," he said. "If you're going to play a mature-rated game, you're going to get your 360, PC or PS3 out to do so." Hit the break to read on.
