Merry Christmas from Sega

It's that time of the year when publishers dress up elaborate marketing images and videos as friendly seasonal gestures, and who are we to resist? Sega has sent along its Christmas video packed full of footage from its 2009 library. 

With House of the Dead: Overkill, Bayonetta, MadWorld, The Conduit, Sonic and the Black Knight, Total War and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection all lined up, the company has quite a robust library of titles on offer next year. I'm looking forward to a number of these myself, not least the stuff coming from Platinum Games. 

Merry Christmas and all that.

That is so badly pixelated. I can't even tell what is going on half the time.

If I get the money Empire TW is gonna the game makes me upgrade my pc the first time in 5 years. Rome TW is still best real time tactics game ever made. I missed Medieval 2 cause I didn't have the pc-power run it.

Also looking for Stormrise. I'm intrigued to see creative assemblys take on rts on consoles.

The original file for this video was fucked but I've uploaded a superior version. No problems now.

Some of those look pretty good - waiting for MadWorld, and now wondering what Bayonetta is.

Also, it's not SONICS genesis collection, it's just Sega Genesis Mega Collection. Upon further investigation, 1) It's got all kinds of games on it, taking advantage of the PS3's lack of Virtual Console, and 2) Sega really don't know what 'enhanced in HD' means (SSFIITHDR it is not)!

I have to admit that I'm impressed by Sega.

Mad World, House of the Dead and The Conduit are on my must-have list for next year. Bayonetta also looks great and more appealing than Devil May Cry in my opinion. Sega has really put its publishing power to good use.

Not sure what to make of the new Sonic title though. It seems like a gimmicky spin-off but I suppose there's always a chance that it could be better than Sonic Unleashed and the other 3D Sonic titles.

all of these looked great (thought i need to find out more about stormrisers).

Also, the Bayonetta girl has the longest legs ever. Hawt.

Bayonetta is a Platinum Games game for the 360.
