Sega’s PAX 2008 lineup
Sega’s going to be showing up at the Penny Arcade Expo 2008 (PAX) that’s happening the last weekend in August, and they decided to prepare attendees by revealing its game lineup for the event. DS, PS2 and PS3 owners will be happy with the company’s offerings, as Bleach Dark Souls, Dinosaur King, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Valkyria Chronicles and Yakuza 2 will be on display.
So really, Sega’s going to use the event to show off some solid RPGs. Dinosaur King is a Pokemon-esque game for the DS, where you find fossils and create dinosaurs, and battle others who do the same. Sonic Chronicles is the DS Sonic the Hedgehog RPG from BioWare. Valkyria Chronicles is a PS3 strategic RPG with water-color style graphics that is receiving quite a bit of buzz. The other two titles being displayed, both sequels, are something special too, though…
Excavate and unleash dinosaurs on your DS
Sega has announced that the DS title Dinosaur King, based on the Japanese card game and anime of the same name, will be released in the US. The game has players act as either Max or Rex in trying to stop the villainous Dr. Z and his Alpha Gang. It will be released in September, 2008.
The game will feature a modest dinosaur collection. I mean, its no Pokemon, but its not bad. There are 70 different dinosaurs in the game with 240 different moves, five different locations to visit and fossil excavation mini-games. There will also be multiplayer Wi-Fi for dinosaur battles.
