Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis has launched on the Xbox consoles and PC recently, and the new free to play MMO had at least one of us excited to see what the game had to offer. Many of the crew are longtime Phantasy Star fans that just want a new story focused title...but until that time this will have to do.

First announced during the Xbox Showcase event last year, SEGA’s new MMO is finally here. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is the sequel to PSO2, taking place a thousand years in the future and featuring vastly improved graphics, improved storytelling, and open-world battlefields. It’s now available as a free download on Xbox, Windows 10, and Steam.

SEGA have revealed some details of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, a game that was unveiled during Microsoft's recent Xbox Games Showcase event. The title was a surprise to everyone and there was a lot of confusion as to what exactly it was - a reskin of PSO2 or a brand new game. Here's the bullet points straight from SEGA.

Earlier this year, Arc System Works released the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle for modern consoles and Switch, bringing heaps of NES beat ‘em up goodness to Sony’s console. It looked like Xbox owners would be left out of the fun, but that has thankfully changed today. Seven of the games from the Retro Brawler Bundle are now available as $5 individual downloads on Xbox One. At last, Microsoft fans can play Double Dragon II, Double Dragon III, and River City Ransom in local and online co-op! While the Xbox Store page does list Double Dragon as having co-op, since this is the NES version of the game, it actually does not offer cooperative play - instead it's a two player versus mode.

The Darksiders franchise got a new entry last week on the PC (console version is coming February 2020) with Darksiders: Genesis, an isometric, twin-stick shooter-ish, action/adventure game. While the gameplay has changed a bit from the previous third-person action titles, there's a lot that's familiar and the new format works. Best of all, you can play with a buddy online or on the couch!

The Horsemen will return this winter in Darksiders Genesis. The fourth game in the Darksiders franchise changes things up a little bit in two ways. First, rather than a third-person action game, Darksiders Genesis runs a little more in the top-down, twin-stick shooter vein, though it definitely still utilizes action game mechanics. Second, and more importantly, it supports two player co-op! Team up with a buddy and kick some demon butt as War and Strife.

Keeping up with all of the mini consoles on the market, SEGA has announced their SEGA Genesis Mini will become available on September 19, 2019. The teeny console comes packed with 40 games (and two “bonus” titles), all of the required cables, and 2 controllers so you and a friend can throw back to your playtimes of ol’ with Contra: Hard Corps, Golden Axe, Gunstar Heroes, Toejam and Earl, and so many more.

Sega is getting into the "all your favorite old titles on one little replica console" game with the forthcoming Sega Genesis Mini. Similar to the NES Classic and SNES Classic from Nintendo, the Sega Genesis Mini contains a collection of classic Sega titles on one box with all the accoutrement you'll need to enjoy them on a modern TV.

Thanks to a recent update to the SEGA Genesis Classics collection, all of the games are now playable on PSVR. This means players who own the game on the PlayStation 4 and have a PlayStation Virtual Reality headset can now get closer than ever to the classics they love. The update is free and available immediately, so if you’ve been waiting to wear your fancy headset while playing old school games, now is your chance.

SEGA Genesis Classics, which has been out for a while on Steam, is now available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4! To celebrate the release of this hefty collection of 53 classic games, we've got a gallery with loads of co-op screenshots!!

SEGA Genesis Classics is the latest in a long line of 16-bit game compilations from Sega. That said, it’s the first such title for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and includes many features never before seen in a Sega console collection – including online co-op! With 50 games (17 co-op), this is a great value for classic gaming fans. But th...

Initially revealed in a tweet that got pulled down (and then, eventually, reposted), SEGA officially announced that they'll be bringing 50 classic Genesis titles to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this May in a new collection. The SEGA Genesis Classics will not only include a number of great titles from that era, but the ability to play with friends no matter where they may be.
