Atari has released a selection of new shots of Saint Seiya: The Hades, a beat-'em-up based on the Saint Seiya anime series.
The Hades is the latest part of the Saint Seiya story, which follows the exploits of five mythical warriors. Their power comes from the belief that each atom in the human body resembles a solar system, which means that each person becomes a small 'universe' and, in turn, becomes a source of power for 'saints' who channel it through their
The funny thing about inventing a genre of videogames is that, until it becomes completely played out, every game that emulates your formula is going to be attached to your name. Games that feature a wide-open, freely explorable world, for example, will have a hard time avoiding the label of "Grand Theft Auto clone," especially if their worlds are littered with vehicles to steal and drive.
In the six years since Grand Theft Auto III, a slew of games have tried to become "the next GTA," but so
We hear his name is Rot, and that his eccentricities are infamous amongst game collectors. We hear that this is just what he does. We hear his U2 cover track. We see a god.

Just when you thought you could give your thumbs a break, here comes Samurai Warriors 2: Empires for the PS2 and 360, the latest addition to Koei's furious button mashing library. Not to be confused with Samurai Warriors 2 - which was released less than three months ago - Empires will take place in Feudal Japan during the Warring State era with over 400 playable characters. You can also look forward to 50 new policy cards to spice up the strategy portion of the game as you smash your way

This image-burst illustrates SBK-07 Superbike World Championship, the official game of this year's superbiking competition - which includes all riders, manufacturers and tracks from the full Superbike calendar, fielding an impressive 28 riders in each race.
We've had a chance to rev the game up for a swift test ride recently, and it's a suitably deep but appealing racer. Like Tourist Trophy, Superbike World Championship boasts an imposing level of realism, but for our

Check out this latest batch of Scarface: The World is Yours screenshots, which reveal just how much detail is going into Vivendi's virtual update of the legendary gangster movie.
Radical, the developer responsible for Scarface, has lots of experience with open-ended game worlds, having produced The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and The Simpsons: Hit & Run, both of which were solid free-roaming experiences.
Even if you're bored of all possible combinations of guns, gangsters, grit,
Tony Montana's second coming looks better and better every time we see it, having gone from a lame, ugly Grand Theft Auto ripoff to a slick-looking drug-lord simulation in the space of a year. The new Scarface: The World is Yours trailer is the best look we've had at the game yet, laying out the plot while treating us to plenty of screaming, cursing, explosions and flashy Scarface-style viciousness.
Better still, a huge tiger totally mauls a guy. And it's apparently a pet tiger you can buy.

Sega is bringing 30 of its old-school classics to PS2 this autumn with Sega Mega Drive Collection and we've got a handful of fresh shots for three of the best - Sonic, Golden Axe and Shinobi III.
