Golden Axe gets UK release date

Posted on September 22nd, 2008 at 08:21 EDT

SEGA has announced that upcoming slash ‘em up Golden Axe: Beast Rider will hit UK shores on October 17, 2008.

Due for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Beast Rider takes the form of a prequel to the Golden Axe saga, with SEGA commenting, "Players will discover events that took place before the original storyline as Tyris Flare, the famous half-Gladiator/half-Barbarian heroine, begins the epic quest to avenge her tribe.”

Golden Axe first appeared on the Sega Mega Drive (or Sega Genesis, to our friends across the pond) in 1989, and went on to popularise the 2D side-scrolling genre throughout the early 1990s.

Stay tuned for our review in the near future.

There's alot of games now comin out with that, EGGBOX EXCLUSIVE crap. Cant beat Microsoft when it comes to the money.

 

Which make sme wonder why Apple haven't done some sort of bid with Sony to do some work together? iTunes for the Ps3? Saves Sony the bother of starting a new Music Download part to the store, saves them the legal crap, and time, and resources....

But then again, I could be wrong. Whatever.

I like others loved the original.

But no Dwarf, Guy and most importantly no AXE?  I guess time will tell.  Seriously though no AXE?
