Condemned 2 is going to tie in with the Condemned movie, so I'm a little worried about that. I also hope to see more of their 2 RTS, Universe at War and Medieval 2 Kingdoms. Edit: Who am I kidding I'm looking forward to there hole line up

I agree with the topic starter, Halo puts me to sleep. Fighting 'the flood' is the most boring thing ever and they take up a massive part of the game, Not to mention the repetitive levels. Halos one good thing was the multilayer which is completely ruined in the second game by the bad maps and crappy weapons. Plasma sword may look cool but it really takes the fun out of the game when someones using it.

It will still happen but its on a much smaller scale and now its more about pie charts and sith like that.

Nice to see there's at least some Sega fans here to, They very often do nice extras with there games sometimes going as far as packing weird items for an example the PS2 remake of Panzer Dragoon you could get a little music box with it that played the theme tune. Very often they have nice stuff packed in. The downside is that their manuals are in black and white bar the cover and back. Financually they are sound, After they left the hardware business they when almost bankrupt and hovered there for quite some time, they finally got back in the black around 04 and then merged with a company called Sammy. Now there in the money in fact they are one of if not the 'richest' publisher in Japan. Finally I'm most 'proud' of Sega for the way they treat there 3rd party devs, and even there second. Sega generally don't set deadlines and just let the developers get on with it. They may set a deadline but it will be of a few years and if the game isn't finished by then I doubt they would still push it out but just delay it instead. They also treat there second party's very well, take 'prope' and 'Arc' they are funded by Sega and Sega owns the controlling share of them but they are pretty much free to do what ever they like so long as Sega gets first dibs on publishing the games they develop. If for what ever reason Sega doesn't want to publish the game they are then free to get another publisher out side of Sega.

Sega have pretty much only been a Japanese company up until the left hardware so you wont have heard of much if you didn't play Sega consoles. Some of there more epic RPGs games are 'Shenmue' 'Panzer Dragoon Saga' 'Phantasy Star IV' 'Skies of Arcadia' 'Shining Force' 'Dragon Force' 'mystaria' and 'Beyond Oasis' Other games you might know, Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon series, REZ, NiGHTS into Dreams, Guilty Gear series, Streets of Rage series, Virtua-On, Yakuza, Virtua Fighter, OutRun, Sega Rally, Total War series, Football Manager Series, Burning Rangers, Golden Axe, Ecco, Shinobi.. The list goes on and on tbh. Sega probably have more discontinued hits then most other games companies have games. Despite being the underdog and usually only a cult following in the past your going to start hearing more about Sega in a big way now they have got there act together. Up coming Sega PC games: [PC] - Universe At War: Earth Assault - Sega Rally - Aliens RPG - Aliens FPS - Storm Chaser [rumored] - Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms Expansion - Shenmue Online - Beijing 2008 - Football Manager Live/mmo - Iron Man - Hulk - Cap America - Thor - Typing of the Dead 2 - Sega Splash Golf p.s I co-run a Sega fan site, www.seganerds.com
