What could possibly be the most Halloween-type game released by SEGA? Let’s find out!

Remember that far-off year of 2005? Everyone was talking about Tom Cruise jumping on couches, that third Star Wars volcano movie, and gamers were beginning to collect plastic instruments with the release of the first Guitar Hero game. But for gamers, 2005 also marked the arrival of the Xbox 360 - and with it, SEGA’s survival horror game: Condemned: Criminal Origins! It’s the spooky season, so let’s discuss a spooky game! Did the first Condemned game age well? Did we enjoy our time with it? Will mannequins haunt our dreams forever? Join us to find out!

Welcome back to the SEGA Spirit Show! Kicking off the 2025 spoopy season, we dive headfirst into Uwe Boll’s infamous 2003 “adaptation” of SEGA’s House of the Dead 🧟 We look at a play-by-play of the film’s most baffling choices and plenty of laughs at the expense of daytime raves, random game footage, and dialogue that makes the original arcade and Saturn games look Oscar-worthy. It’s a cinematic trainwreck - but someone had to watch it. Luckily for you, that someone was us.

Relive every high-score moment from our Dreamcast 12-Hour Marathon stream on Saturday 13th September, all in aid of ExtraLife. Hosts Graham and Scotty Mo are joined by special guests Nic Flair and TBone to break down the biggest wins, epic controller fails, and reveal how much we raised to support kids in hospital. With upside-down Jet Set Radio controller chaos, Sonic Shuffle pain, Virtua Athlete hilarity, the return of POLE Calibur, and so much more, this is a show you won’t want to miss!

We played Aliens: Colonial Marines, so you don’t have to! Join Graham and Scotty Mo as they dive back into Aliens: Colonial Marines for Part 2 of this retro-FPS rollercoaster! From face-hugger ambushes to broken AI, we share every co-op high and low so you don’t have to.

A new Aliens TV series has landed! So, naturally, it’s the perfect time to leave blast processing behind and storm the acid-ridden tunnels of Aliens: Colonial Marines! SEGA’s high-stakes licensed shooter promised Nostromo-level thrills and delivered one of the industry’s wildest behind-the-scenes sagas.

Climb aboard the rails of nostalgia! In Episode 8 of the SEGA Spirit Show, Graham and Scotty Mo dive headfirst into the Panzer Dragoon anime OVA. We unpack the story’s post-apocalyptic beauty and compare it to the OG on-rails shooter for the SEGA Saturn.

Welcome back to the SEGA Spirit Show! In Episode 7, Graham and Scotty Mo floor it into the Dreamcast sequel you never knew you needed: Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense. We break down the explosive special moves, environmental level traps (giant ants included), quest vs. arcade modes, and our armchair-developer dreams for improving the game... with zero knowledge of how games actually work!

Welcome back to The SEGA Spirit Show! In Episode 6, we lock and load for a full-throttle exploration of Zero Tolerance on the Mega Drive. Meanwhile, Scotty buys an awesome Sonic 1 & 2 guide. While Graham accidentally buys a terrible game... twice!

Join Graham and Scotty Mo as we celebrate Sonic’s birthday by racing through our favourite, least-favourite, and most unpredictable Sonic titles! From Mega Drive classics to funky spin-offs you’ve probably forgotten about, we’ve got the ultimate Good, Bad & ’Other’ Sonic Games lineup.

This bonus episode of The SEGA Spirit Show picks up where our Sega 65 celebration left off. Instead of the usual heavy hitters, we spotlight the under-appreciated games that slipped under the radar on Sega platforms. Expect deep dives into console exclusives, arcade oddities, and cult classics that deserve another chance in the spotlight.

SEGA Spirit Show ep 4: Happy 65th birthday SEGA! ... maybe? Join Graham and Scotty on the latest episode of the SEGA Spirit Show as they dive into one of gaming’s most puzzling questions: exactly how old is SEGA, really? In this episode, we explore SEGA's tangled history, from its humble beginnings in the 1940s as a coin-op machine distributor to its evolution into the iconic video game powerhouse of today. Is it 85, 74, 65, or even just 41 years young? We break down the clues, tease apart conflicting timelines, and examine the milestones that have defined SEGA through the decades. Alongside a spirited debate on SEGA’s true birthday, we celebrate all things retro, sharing classic game shoutouts, community news, and more. Whether you’re a die-hard retro gamer, a history buff, or simply curious about the myths behind the legend, this episode is a nostalgic joyride packed with fun facts, lively opinions, and plenty of that infectious SEGA spirit.
