The GC - Games Convention is an annual event held in Leipzig, Germany, where everyday people play games and industry professionals show some of their upcoming and newer games. It's arguably the largest European gaming event, having around 185,000 visitors last year. Sega has typically shown a lot of their E3 games at the Games Convention, most likely to let people try them again or let European media outlets who weren't able to see E3 try them for the first time. This year, the Games Convention is taking place from August 20 - 24.

'' In the world of espionage, nothing is as it seems in Obsidian Entertainment’s blockbuster RPG thriller, Alpha Protocol™. Players will assume the role of Michael Thorton, a highly skilled government operative trained to eliminate threats to national security. When a mission goes horribly wrong, Thorton is the only one with the information, skills, and contacts required to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so, he will utilize the very government directive that the enemy sought to use to against him - Alpha Protocol.

Featuring a vividly realistic modern-day setting, Alpha Protocol gives players complete control not only of Thorton’s actions but his personality and attitude as well, all of which will determine the future of the world as we know it. Blending fast-paced modern combat, significant character advancement and innovative RPG features, Alpha Protocol brings a fresh new perspective to the genre. ''

"The survival of the human race lies entirely in your hands in Space Siege, a brand-new action-RPG from Chris Taylor, the creator of the award-winning Dungeon Siege games. Space Siege puts you in the shoes of Seth Walker, a crew member on the Armstrong - the only colony ship to survive a massive alien attack upon Earth. As the aliens descend upon the Armstrong, Walker must fend off the extraterrestrial threat using his wits and weapons. To help his cause, he can choose to augment his body with a variety of cybernetic upgrades available throughout the Armstrong - but with each mechanical improvement, he becomes more machine than man. In this spectacular sci-fi adventure, will you risk your own humanity to save the human race?"

"Earth’s protective atmosphere has been stripped away by a catastrophic event centuries ago. In a bleak and barren landscape, the planet’s inhabitants have had to adapt radically in order to survive, resulting in the creation of two distinctly different races; the Echelon and the Sai. With both factions constantly battling for supremacy, the rebuilt civilisation is on the brink of another catastrophe…"

'' The House of the Dead: Overkill™ charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive Bayou City and uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of The House of the Dead. ''

''Survival horror as it’s never been seen before! A pulp-style take on the classic SEGA light-gun shoot ‘em up franchise. Back when the famous Agent G was still fresh out of the academy, he teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass Agent Washington to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little did they know what blood-soaked mutant horror would await them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City. ''

Aug 2008:News:Super Monkey Ball sells over 300,000 copies
12 August 2008

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that iPhone users have downloaded over 60 million programs on the App Store. Sega's first game for the platform, the $9.99 Super Monkey Ball has sold more than 300,000 copies in 20 days. "That's a substantial business," says Simon Jeffery, president of Sega's U.S. division. "It gives iPhone a justifiable claim to being a viable gaming platform." With Sega receiving 70% of the total revenue from Super Monkey Ball, they have received nearly $2.1 million in those first 20 days.

Interview with Bioware about Sonic Chronicles
12 August 2008

Sega Nerds has an interesting 15-minute interview with Bioware's Lead Designer Miles Holmes about Sonic's upcoming RPG, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood with a description of their gameplay experience. The game has around eleven characters, including Amy Rose, Sonic, Tails and a new character, Shade. It shares a similar save system to Sonic Adventure, which reminded you what was happening in the game when you loaded it up again, as described below:

Fans of Sonic Adventure might remember that when you loaded up a save file, which was half way through the story of one of the characters, they had a small recap to explain what had been going on. Which helped remind players of what needs to be done.

Well Bioware has used a similar idea. When players load their file they are greeted by an extract of a journal, describing key events in the story so far and reminding players of what needs to be done next.

Miles explained that when many gamers play on handhelds they might play for a few hours at a time, but then stop and not go back to the game for a while (I know I do that a lot). Or they might only play in small chunks, on the train or bus. In the case of an RPG, players might need reminding of what’s going on, especially if they haven’t played in a long time - so that’s why they added the journal.
