Hark! Sega's mysterious and vague "Super Game" is dead, though its Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi reboots live on

Oh now! Say it ain't so! Sega's mysterious and vague "Super Game" is… dead? I'm afraid so, kiddo, so bust out the shovel. This Super Game has been a part of Sega's long-term strategy for a while now, in fact it was even meant to be out by the end of the last fiscal year. That didn't happen!

"It's expensive and it doesn't age": Why Ken Levine didn't aim for realistic graphics in BioShock, and won't for Judas either

Frogwares' The Sinking City was rough around the edges, but it shone with a genuine appreciation for its Lovecraftian lore, despite a cosmic horror-style litigation fracas which saw the developer fighting their publisher over control of the game.

"Let's finish it": After a 20-year wait, Nightdive would complete the SiN Episodes shooter series if its upcoming remaster is a success

SiN Episodes: Emergence was supposed to be the first instalment in a series that ran for nine episodes. Instead, it's the opening chapter in a story that has remained unfinished for 20 years. But all that could change. "I do see a world, yes," Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick told me. The studio known for its remaster work now owns the rights to the SiN series and is currently working on SiN Reloaded, a re-release of the 1998 shooter that started the series. Kick says they could even go further than
