SEGA hasn't really wowed me since 2004.
The Dreamcast was an amazing console, but even after it failed, SEGA still continued to produce AAA titles, like Jet Set Radio Future, Virtua Fighter 4, House of the Dead 3, Panzer Dragoon Orta, the Sonic Advance series, Shenmue 2 (Okay that was originally a Dreamcast game, but it was only on XBox in the USA)
And along came Sonic Heroes.. it was an ..okay game.. I guess, but a real step-down from the Adventure series. It all went downhill after that, IMO.
As much as I love Sonic, I really wish SEGA would give him a break. I want them to get on the ball and make sequels to JSRF, Space Channel 5 and Shenmue.
Are those games just going to be regulated to cheap cameos forever? Putting Ryo in SEGA Racing was a nice nod to the fans, but still a huge tease. Come on, SEGA. just give us Shenmue 3 already.
I wish I had a PS3 so I could play Yakuza. I've heard good things about it.
