The stars behind gaming's voices
PS2 News | Yakuza
September 18, 2007 What do Bender from Futurama, Marcus Fenix from Gears of War and Wakka from Final Fantasy X all have in common? Amazingly, they're all voiced by the same guy - John DiMaggio. In fact, once you get looking around, it's amazing how many stars do games voiceovers for a bit of extra cash. Of course, in some circumstances, getting professional actors in is essential - just look at Heavenly Sword's excellent cutscenes for proof of that. We decided to find out who's done what - and ...

Yakuza attacks in new screens
PS2 News | Yakuza
Sega has decided to kick out another massive load of Yakuza screens, showing more details of the hard-up criminal that we're most excited to play as this fall. The game, which follows the tale of a Japanese gangster struggling to make his way up the ranks and take revenge on those who put him in jail in his youth, is the grittiest and most mature adventure to ever come out of Japan - blending GTA-style drama and violence with the punch, kick and explore action that Japanese developers are best ...

Yakuza fights dirty
PS2 News | Yakuza
When it hits in September, Yakuza promises deep gameplay, a complex story written by an award-winning novelist and a realistic look at the life of a Japanese gangster. All we've really seen of the game so far, however, is a whole lot of fighting. But a new batch of screenshots released today reveal… well, more fighting. On the upside, the new screens offer a look at a slightly different kind of fighting. While most of what we've seen up to this point has involved protagonist Kiryu ...

Pre-E3 06: Yakuza
PS2 News | Yakuza
There's certainly no shortage of crime games, especially on the PS2 - so why the hell should you care about yet another "out of jail and suddenly caught up in a whirlwind of gang activity" outing? Because Yakuza will totally immerse you in the seedy life of Kiryu Kazuma, a former gang member who's still workin' the Gucci suits and alligator shoes. As you freely explore the garbage-strewn, neon-lit streets of this virtual Tokyo district, you'll instantly notice how much detail has been poured ...

The Yakuza publicity machine is starting to stir as E3 approaches, and we've gotten our hands on the first US trailer of the game.

The new face of crime
PS2 News | Yakuza
The US games market has been getting a little top-heavy with urban-crime games lately, but urban-crime games set in another country? Now you've got our attention. In Yakuza, a free-roaming gangster epic from Sega, players will stomp around Tokyo's red-light districts as Kiryu Kazuma, a former yakuza soldier returning to a life of crime after 10 years in the slammer. The actual gameplay seems to revolve around close-up fighting (so far, we haven't seen a single gun or a carjacking). Yakuza has ...
