Sega is releasing quite good games lately .Valkyrie of the Battlefield,Imabikisou ,Yakuza 3 ,Condemned 2 ,Viking Battle for Asgard (first review I have read its 8.5 ) are very good games .And Sega Superstar Tennis may be so so but will probably get very good sales in the Mario and Sonic way .

I am pleased that Sega is finally releasing quality stuff .

imabikisou isn't even a game....

currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It will still sell 5 millions if it's "Mario & darthdevidem01 in Olympics"

But yes, Sega is doing great lately, and PS3 & wii provides an opportunity for Sega to revive their library, Sonics, House of the dead, Golden Axe........i want Alex Kidd

@stclam

no then it would have to sell over 10 million

any star wars phrase in a game = game sells over 2 million

besides, Lightsaber Tennis has always been a dream

We can clearly see it is 2.5D....SONIC was at his best in 2D and this shows SEGA going back to Sonics Roots..and many people have been waiting for that to happen.

Umm... Sonic and the Secret Rings says hi. In that it looks like you can't go back; almost like it does the running for you automatically.

In all seriousness, A great 3D Sonic game can be made... If it weren't made by Sega. They swung and missed what, four times now? They are incapable of making a good Sonic game, IMO.

That's not to say I can do better, though.

@vertigo

The first 2 sonic adventure games were really good

but shadow the hedgehog, sonic heroes, and sonic the hedgehog 2006 really were horrible games

that new sonic game does look pretty awesome and it looks like they are taking sonic back to its roots. it could be the first good sonic game since the genesis.

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus

All of these things send out ONE message, SEGA is on the rise.

That was my interpretation, please tell me what all of you think, are they just getting lucky or are they on the rise and if they are will we see the inevitable (according to some) Dreamcast 2

I don't really think we should be expecting a Dreamcast 2 just yet. Sega has had a few successes, as you mentioned, but they have also had some huge flops in the last year. Virtua Fighter 5 would be a prime example. Alien Syndrome did very poorly.
