Sega Gamers' Day Round-up

Reigniting the fire under old franchises like Sonic and Golden Axe it appears Sega is trying to rekindle our nostalgic flame. Based on what we've seen from the upcoming Xbox 360 lineup from Sega we're interested, on paper. A new Hulk game sounds great but movie licenses almost have a vendetta against anything resembling decent. Sonic back to his roots sounds awesome, but realizing the game includes 3D sections instead of the 2D we've been seeing get us worried. Golden Axe returns? Wicked! But no co-op and the loss of two original classes has us asking why. What are your thoughts on the upcoming lineup from Sega?

Oh, they'll put co-op back in.

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was fucking AWESOME. I hope the new one is just as good,but with more insane destruction and missions.

I'm actually going to give this Sonic game a chance, but not going to have to high expectations because, like Mass Effect, it's more enjoyable that way.

Incredible Hulk? Probably not. Why? Because the guys who did the last game aren't working on this. They're working on the 2009 title Prototype, which I'm much more excited over.
Sonic Unleashed? Maybe. Why? Every previous Sonic game released in the past couple of years have been hyped as the 'return,' or whatever you want to call it. And then that only leads to people being let down. It's a terrible cycle, which I'll have no part of anymore until a game comes out and proves good 3D Sonics can be made.
And finally, Golden Axe? No. Why? I have no reason, to be honest. But I don't have much faith in Sega outside of what Platinum Games (former Clover developers of the likes of Okami and Viewtiful Joe) has to offer.
Speaking of which, why no mention of Bayonetta in the poll?

Golden Axe excites me but it never was very strong on story telling. Anyway, I want a next-gen Shinobi to obliterate Ninja Gaiden 2 and humble Itagaki. That would be fantastic.
