Now here is something really interesting. We’ve just found out that the Steam Registry has an entry for SEGA’s Sonic game, Sonic 4 – Episode 1, and you can view a screenshot from it bellow. We all pretty much know that this is an indication of Episode 1’s PC version, as the same thing happened and with Sonic Generations. In case you don’t remember, the Sonic Generations’ PC version was first hinted via Steam’s Registry so there is no denying that Sonic 4 – Episode 1 is coming to the PC. Unfortunately though, we don’t know when or how much will it cost. Still, it’s great to see SEGA supporting our beloved platform. Stay tuned for more!

Oh boy, I really feel sorry for all those pirates out there. The first DRM protection routine that Serious Sam 3 introduced was the immortal scorpion. You thought that it was the only one, right? Well guess again as Croteam has included and a second DRM feature that forces the player to look up in the sky while spinning uncontrollably. Oh yeah, those who decide to pirate Serious Sam 3 will be forced to look up in the sky at one point and won’t be able to progress. This is really hilarious – well, not as much as the adorable immortal scorpion but still – and you can view a video of it, in action, after the jump. Start taking notes developers cause this is how DRM should actually be. Enjoy! Continue reading Serious Sam 3 Protection V2 – Look up in the sky, is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s DRM pwnage→
