Sega's The Club and upcoming Keanu Reeves movie Street Kings share almost identical imagery.

CVG reader 'socheeky' spotted a movie poster for the flick coming out in the US this April "with Keanu Reeves, several rappers and Hugh Laurie". As you can see from a quick bit of photoshop trickery, they look pretty much the same.

Rumor: Latest OXM says Rock Band Word Tour playable online soon; DMC4/The Club reviews (News)

Feb 11, 2008

Rumors - and we stress, RUMORS - from QJ.Net regarding the March issue of OXM claim that, among other things, OXM reports that:

"An update for Rock Band that will make band world tour playable online"

Also of note:

"What's interesting to point out here is that OXM has apparently given DMC4 a score of 7.5, while giving The Club as score of 8.0."

If this is true, it'd be reassuring news for those who thought that we may have to wait for the inevitable Rock Band 2 before we could play in a World Tour with friends on the other side of the country.

The Club (Review)

Feb 7, 2008

Every shooter ever made shares a set of common principles: Moving from point A to point B, trying not to get shot, and placing the sight at the center of the screen over various targets as quickly as your eyes and thumbs will allow. The only real difference between them all is how they’re dressed up with story and graphics. In The Club, however, things are different.Taking place in a handful of different locations, from an ocean liner, to ...

Sega announces 8 Multiplayer modes for The Club (News)

Jan 17, 2008

Developed by Bizarre Creations, The Club is a fast paced 3rd person shooter, pitting serial killers and trained assassins against each other for sport and gambling.

For those of you excited for the title, Sega revealed today all of the multiplayer modes that will be available when the game launches in February.

The eight multiplayer modes include:

Kill Match: This is a tried and tested death-match mode. The player with the most kills at the end of the gamer is the winner.

Score Match: This is a points based death match where players rack up points for kills using the same scoring mechanism which is used in the single player game. As with the single player game, the key to big scores is to combine kills into combos.

Hunted Killer: When the game begins the first player to make a kill becomes the Hunted. While hunted, a player's score ticks up constantly. Only one player can be the hunted, and if a Hunter player manages to kill the hunted, the hunted status will pass over to the killer. Becoming the hunted and surviving for as long as possible is the only way to score. The hunters are equipped with radar which shows where the hunted player is all the time. The hunted player does not have a scanner so he must keep on his toes to avoid his pursuers.

Team Kill Match: This is a regular team kill match. The team who scores the highest by killing their opponents will win.

Team Fox Hunt: In Team Fox Hunt one player on each team is assigned as the Fox. The objective is to hunt and kill the enemy team's Fox without them doing the same to yours. All players begin with the same amount of health however the fox player can use health packs dotted around the level to bring his health up to a maximum of 400%.

Team Capture: in this game mode, both teams have a base objective. The aim of the game mode is to capture the enemies' bas objective while defending your own. Bases are captur...

The Club (Preview)

Jan 1, 2008

Jan 1, 2008 We got pretty excited with our recent hands-on with The Club, a shooter with a distinctly arcade feel to it. While the core mechanic - combo together as many stylish and skillful kills as you can - remains the same over all the modes, there are still a number of ways that the game presents this theme. Below are the various challenges catered to let you strut your stuff as the top killer amongst your ...

The Club - hands-on (Preview)

Dec 21, 2007

Dec 21, 2007 In any shooter, headshots are everything. The more the better, the faster the better - but rarely, other than a quicker kill, are you actually rewarded for it in any noticeable way. In The Club, things are completely different. The basic idea is simple. Go from one point to the other, killing as many people as you can, as fast as possible. Every kill you make brings up a little timer, kill again in that time and youll start a combo, kill again in that time and your combo (and ...

The Club (Preview)

Nov 12, 2007

Nov 12, 2007 The Club is as tricky a game to explain in this preview as it presumably was for devs Bizarre Creations to pitch to some cynical Sega suits. We can picture it now: “Um, so weve come up with a really novel take on the third-person shooter. Its Gears of War meets Project Gotham meets Tekken meets Tony Hawk meets Time Crisis meets... The Most Dangerous Game. Ever. And its like The Running Man. Er, can we have some cash?” Cue door slamming in face... or, rather, not. You ...

Tagged to the foot of Sega's most recent release schedule is: "Please note that The Club from Bizarre Creations is now to release on X360, PS3 and PC in early 2008." We can't help but wonder if finishing up work on PGR4 for Microsoft may have demanded a little more attention than was originally though... You can ...

SEGA E3 Line-up (News)

Jul 9, 2007

In years past, publishers have used the Electronic Entertainment Expo to announce new games, taking advantage of the global audience tuned in to the trade show. However, as it did last year, Sega has played the bricklayer, paving its road to E3 well in advance with announcements for games such as Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Ghost Squad, and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. However, while the publisher isn't using the annual trade show as a venue for its big reveal, Sega's lineup includes many games whose details have been sparse at best.

The Club - new impressions (Preview)

May 10, 2007

Were sick of taking cover. Of hiding behind trash cans and scurrying between pillars. We hate crouching and crawling through bushes. And thats why The Club is interesting. Rather than a prolonged assault on the enemy, each level is a two minute rush. You scream through, kill everyone as stylishly and efficiently as possible and make your exit. Its ferocious and immediate, the complete polar opposite of something like Ghost Recon where you spend most of your time cowering behind sand ...

The Club - First Look (News)

Apr 29, 2007

The Club. Currently in development for SEGA at Liverpool-based Bizarre Creations, this Winter 2007 title for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 has for the most part been kept behind closed doors. Elusive and secretive since it was first confirmed back in May 2006, the marketing strategy for the game to date isn't too far removed from the titular Club itself. But at a secret location (OK, it was at SEGA's European HQ), the first layers of The Club were peeled off, allowing TVG to get a look at what SEGA and Bizarre refer to as 'Gladiators with guns'.

The Club - impressions (Preview)

Apr 16, 2007

The Club is what some of us refer to as a "proper videogame." It takes the classic ingredients for addictive gameplay and unashamedly nailguns them into the torso of a third-person shooter. For starters, time is everything. Secondly, skill is essential - you're going to beat your friends by being better, not through blind luck. And thirdly, yes, you will be playing this like a racing game. Reach a certain point in the level with a below-target score and you'll be reaching for the restart ...

The Club (Preview)

Apr 6, 2007

If you stop moving, you die. That's the kind of shooter The Club is. It flips the bird at the modern trend in shooters - that of slowing the pace down and forcing you to use enough cover to conceal an obese elephant. Nope, pick up that caution and lob it into the wind because The Club is an old-fashioned arcade shooter blast-a-thon thats all about quick reactions and precise aiming - and remembering when and where to point your ...

The Club is a racing game (News)

Mar 7, 2007

High-intensity shooter The Club is actually closer to a racing game than your average blastfest, according to developer Bizarre Creations, creator of the top notch 360 racer Project Gotham Racing. So they should know. "Think of it like a racing game," lead designer Matt Cavanagh told the Official UK PlayStation Magazine in a recent interview. That's because the game works by thrusting you into bite-sized levels - each lasting three or four minutes long on a good "run" - where you nail through ...

The Club (Preview)

Feb 2, 2007

Pulling a handbrake turn away from the seminal driving games that have propelled the Liverpool studio into one of the most important developers in the world comes Bizarres The Club. An unashamedly arcade-style shooter, it mixes quick fire, rapid gunfights with a Running Man-style story. And it goes like this: The Club is a very brutal, underground sport where criminals have to shoot it out for cash and kicks while a bloodthirsty online community back their favorite gunslingers. Youll be thrown ...

Wednesday 17 May 2006 Following the recent news from Project Gotham developer Bizarre Creations that the company is working on a new third-person shooter, we've just had the opportunity to see it in action for the first time. While the Bizarre boys wouldn't let us play the game ourselves - it's still at least a year away from release - they did talk us through a one-level demo. The game, which Bizarre describes as "paintball with bullets", boasts a striking arcade-style appearance that's not ...

May 18, 2006

Ever feel like there are too many cutscenes jammed into your action game? Wouldn't you rather just pick up a gun (or two) and start blasting your way through hoods and thugs? Of course you would, and The Club promises such a rush. The game, which is being described as "paintball with bullets," ditches any kind of narrative structure and focuses solely on beating your own high score. Players take control of a SWAT-garbed character running around a contemporary cityscape, with the aim being to ...
