PC Review
The Broken Sword series just keeps on keepin' on, even though an increasing percentage of young gamers have probably never heard of it. Considering the series is over 10 years old, it's surprising we're only now getting the fourth installment. Secrets of the Ark is pretty much what you'd expect from an adventure game nowadays. A lot of classic talk-and-puzzle gameplay mixed with an attempt at a contemporary look and interface. And at the minimum system requirements, the game will chug on all ...

Wii Review
Wii - Sega Bass Fishing [2008] - Sega Bass Fishing If any game can convert a non-fisherman into someone who actually uses words like Jointed Shad Rap, Hula Popper and Buzzbait, it's the action-packed arcadery of the Sega Bass Fishing series. It doesn't make you hunt down the fish, and when you find them, they're ravenous. What does that leave? Action, mostly.While most fishing games make you spend huge amounts of time seeking out the fish, Sega Bass Fishing spreads them three layers thick just ...

PSP Review
Ah the Genesis. Back in the 16-bit era, Sega's black box was a masterpiece of hardware that competed fiercely with Nintendo through a combination of killer software and slick marketing. "Blast processing," anyone? Though the speedy blue hedgehog Sonic has been the focus of recent compilations, Sega's latest trip down memory lane takes a somewhat broader approach, revisiting a number of classics that many current gen gamers have never played. Among the featured titles are the first two Sonic ...

PSP Review
Oct 19, 2007 Sega Rally has a much easier run on PSP with no version of DiRT on Sony's handheld. It's literally a one Subaru race. So what do you get? Well you get the sweet arcade racing of Sega Rally, which means sweeping into corners, lush scenery - from dense forests to glacial mountains - and straightforward racing at blistering speeds. It handles like a dream too. And while it doesn't quite manage to recreate the beautiful mud effects of the next-gen version, it looks lovely. But ...

PS3 Review
Oct. 9, 2007 Sega Rally is hands down the most arcade-like title we've yet seen on the PlayStation 3. From the simple, chunky presentation to the narrow courses from which it's nigh impossible to stray, everything feels authentic. It's almost like having a shrunken sit-down coin-op cabinet at home on your shiny new console. In fact, all it would take to turn this into arcade perfection would be a countdown timer at the top of the screen that mocks you with every passing ...

PC Review
Oct. 9, 2007 Way back in 1995, Sega Rally Championship's innovation was its varying friction on the different surfaces. It's a gimmick Sega Rally Revo has run with, with a dozen different surfaces, all of which can be torn up, making subsequent laps entirely unlike the first. Like Motorstorm on the PS3, tracks made by the cars remain in the mud - but unlike Motorstorm, those tracks can be dug deep, leaving whopping great trenches all over the place if you rack up enough laps on the same racing ...

DS Review
DS - Sega Superstars Tennis - Sega Superstars Tennis

This tinied-down version of the recent Wii smasher should in theory be more fiddly and less satisfying than its big bro. But somehow they’ve squeezed all the better bits in, and bypassed all that unsatisfying control business. You’ll still be mashing them thumbs up on the minigames, but you’re in for a smoother, more simplified ride - and the sheer joy of all the old school Sega nostalgia making up for the frustrating ...

PS3 Review
PS3 - Sega Superstars Tennis - Sega Superstars Tennis We love Virtua Tennis, but can a pro tennis star summon a group of dancing aliens to distract his opponent? Unlikely. That’s why we love Sega Superstars Tennis. It takes all of VT’s best bits - the simple controls, the ball physics, the minigames - and sprinkles them with Sega magic, turning it into an explosive kaleidoscope of silly fun. Being supersonic hedgehogs and tiny ball-dwelling monkeys will always be more fun than blokes ...
