Golden Axe: Beast Rider First Look
Golden Axe: Beast Rider is meant to be a re-examination of the world of Golden Axe, the game's developers told the press at Sega's Gamers Day earlier this week.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be a look into the world minus the trio of characters that made the game so great. Instead, gamers will be forced to play as amazon warrior Tyris Flare. Neither the barbarian nor the dwarf will be playable in the single-player only game, though both will appear as non-playable characters as the story unfolds.
It looks like the development team went to great pains to try and turn the once side-scrolling, button-masher into a 3D action title without losing the feel of the original title. A lot of the same creatures, bad guys and feel of the game seems to be present. The art style is a bit generic, but no more so than the original Golden Axe was.

Two New Screens for Golden Axe: Beast Rider
SEGA America's blog gives gamers a look inside work at Secret Level, which just finished Iron Man for them and is cranking on Golden Axe: Beast Rider. A cool Flickr slideshow shows the team and some concepts, both in hard copy and rendered on computer. And two new screen caps, which is the video game porn you're here for.More »

Golden Axe: Beast Rider Screens
I'm actually kind of digging the art design of these new Golden Axe: Beast Rider screens from Sega's Secret Level. A subtle, rounded, almost cartoon characteristic has softened a game that, while appearing serious, isn't taking itself too seriously (in that hardcore, epic, gonna kill you mo fo, summer box office flick way). The environment looks fairly spartan, but I could still see this one turning out to be fun. Secret Level [Secret Level]

Golden Axe: Beast Rider Sounds a Lot Like Lair
Golden Axe, a personal favorite during one particularly Dirty Dancingesque summer vacation of my youth, is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360. And while we already knew that, we had no idea what that meant. Sidescroller? 3D fighter? RPG? What? More »

Mighty Ninja Panther Billiards Battle
Can there be too many ninja? It seems like every week a new one is unleashed onto the Wii Virtual Console, this week being no different as the previously unreleased in North America NES game Ninja JaJaMaru-kun (600 points) finds its way onto the VC. If this ninja glut continues they're going to band together and kill ever other game available for download, so you might want to hurry up and get your hands on a copy of Lunar Pool for the NES (500 points) and the Genesis classic Golden Axe III (800 points) before the bloodbath begins. Luckily the third installment of the Golden Axe saga lets you play as a giant or a panther, which are two widely known ninja weaknesses (also, Hot Pockets), but Lunar Pool with its 30 tables of billiards splendor only adds sticks and colorful balls to the deadly assassins' arsenal. Enter the world of my imagination, where the Virtual Console is a hundred times more entertaining than it has any right to be. More »

Sega Hasn't Axed PS3 Golden Axe
After French gaming site Xboxygen wrote of a Play magazine report on Secret Level's Golden Axe: Beast Rider, indicating Xbox 360 exclusivity for the Sega published title, many of you lamented another lost PlayStation 3 game. Fortunately, Sega was nice enough to get back to the gang at PlayStation Universe, who confirmed that the PS3 version of the Golden Axe-themed action RPG was still on track. I'll reserve my "Yay!" until we hear more about the game, but at least it's coming.

Golden Axe: Beast Rider Official
Sega's recently trademarked title Golden Axe: Beast Rider is featured in the latest issue of Play magazine, finally giving gamers a look at the next-gen follow-up that was announced in May of 2006. According to Xboxygen's report, originally in French, the game will feature Golden Axe hottie Tyrus Flare, feature heavy levels of violence and even sport some much needed nudity. The mature action RPG, in development at Secret Level, was originally slated for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, but Xboxygen writes it's now a 360 exclusive.
We've contacted Secret Level to learn more about the game's PS3 status, but for those without access to a copy of Play, a single photographed screen shot is available at the link below.

Sega Trademarks Golden Axe: Beast Rider
The Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 sequel to Sega's hack n' slash series Golden Axe sure isn't gonna make its estimated 2007 release date. We haven't heard a lick about the game since it was announced way back in May of 2006 but now, we may have a name. Golden Axe: Beast Rider was recently trademarked by the Sega for "video game software" and "computer game programs" and could be the name of the next high-def iteration.
On the other hand, it's Sega. They could've have decided to divert resources to what would essentially be Golden Axe: The Ride at one of its SegaWorks arcade locations. We'll bug them and try to find out more.

Clips: Rainbow Six Vegas Blooper Easter Egg
I'm not sure how I feel about this video. On the one hand it's in-your-face in-game advertising for Axe. On the other hand, it's pretty damn funny and not really that intrusive.
