I'm not sure if you are all familiar with Golden Axe series started by Sega. It was a game released for the System 16-B arcade hardware in the good old 1989. The game took place in the fictional land of Yuria, a Conan the Barbarian style fantasy world.

Golden Axe: Beast Rider is a new installment of the Golden Axe series for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 developed by Sega's acquired game developer Secret Level. The game is set to be released in September 2008 for Xbox360 and PS3.


The game will feature the return of Tyris Flare, the female amazon warrior from the first installment of the series. With a heavy focus on riding beasts, it will probably receive an M rating because of decapitations and nudity.

I used to play the hell out of the games on the Genesis waaaaaay back in the day. I'll give it a shot provided it doesn't suck ass.

These were way ahead of my time, it seems. The game doesn’t look bad though. Not that I could play it til I’m at least eighteen anyway, what with the M rating, but it doesn’t sound too bad.

This game does look good, but it really sucks that it has no Co-OP or multiplayer.

Man, I remember playing the Golden Axe series on the Genesis way back when I was a kid. Awesome, albeit short, games. I might even nab that one for myself one day.
