Posted 02/10/2011 at 9:10am | by Andrew Groen There's officially no good reason to pay more than 99 cents for any game on the App Store this month. We always thought Valentine's Day was the kind of holiday that specialized more in cheap pink teddy bears than smartphone software, but apparently we were wrong. The past couple of weeks have been positively flooded with huge iOS video game sales from major publishers, and now Sega, Capcom, and Namco are getting in on the action. Some of their very best games are included so check out the full list. Listen up, fellas and ladies, sure you could go to the shop this Valentine's Day and get your special someone a ho-hum set of bad flowers and some fluffy pink polyester that will be sure to make them feel completely average. Or you could surprise them with an onslaught of totally awesome games Read More

OK. So, SEGA is following suit with the other big publishers on the App Store and is now holding its own personal deal-a-thon. Now, until whenever, you can grab around 16 different SEGA games for 80 percent off the usual price or just 99 cents. And we’re not just talking about the pub’s stable of lackluster Genesis ports getting the cut here; those games are part of the deal, for sure, but there’s also a few native gems mixed in. There are too many games to do a meaningful breakdown with, but here’s a list of what’s being offered and the prices of each: Not bad, eh? At this point, I’m not sure if we should say that the entire App Store is up for grabs, but it’s getting close as all these publishers start racing to the bottom. Who knew that Valentine’s Day would be giving us so much this Read More

Petit billet juste pour signaler un jeu iPhone / iPod Touch classique de Sega : "Sega Columns Deluxe", qui est gratuit ce week end ici sur l'AppStore. Vous y retrouverez les adaptations des jeux Columns et Puyo Pop. Malheureusement, les retours ne sont pas excellents, loin de là, notamment au niveau des controles. Reste qu'à ce prix là, vous pourrez vérifier par vous -même ;-) Merci à Ben ici Read More

If you owned a Sega console in the 90's, Columns Deluxe [App Store] will be a complete blast from the past. Originally the only game worth playing that I owned for my Game Gear, I've probably spent more time over the years in Columns than any other match three. Columns has appeared in several classic arcade collection games in recent generation consoles. And the original, as well as its sequels have been ported to nearly every other video game console in one form or another before finally winding up on the App Store. There's no reason not to take advantage of the 4th of July Sale and download Columns Deluxe while it's free. Although, the experience may not quite be the same as it was on the Game Gear without needing to constantly be swapping through six AA batteries to play for more than an hour or two at a time.

Jul 3rd 2009 at 7:30PM To all who say the controls suck: Turn off the accelerometer and then read the tutorial. I'm pretty sure that the games weren't actually enhanced with touchscreen control - the emulator is just designed to interpret MBP-style screen swipes (anywhere on the screen) as the D-pad, and touches as buttons depending on what half of the screen you touch. I bought this game last year when the App Store opened. It's okay, but there are far better puzzle games available like EA's Tetris, Trism and Tatomic. It's worth a look for free, but I wouldn't buy it again. Mainly because of the already mentioned poor porting. That seems to be a pattern for SEGA games by the way. @Twitter: I don't use it because I don't get the point of it. However, I view all my RSS feeds in the reader application "Times". Is there any Read More

Over the past few months, iPhone gamers have all been wondering what in the world happened to Sega. They released Super Monkey Ball [App Store], then Columns Deluxe [App Store] not too long after, and then just disappeared until tonight when Sonic the Hedgehog [App Store] was finally released--Surprising us all. There have been some good ports for the iPhone and some bad ports for the iPhone. Sonic the Hedgehog safely lies somewhere in the middle. The default display mode for the game stretches the screen to fit the aspect ratio of the iPhone and overlays a transparent D-Pad on one side and matching transparent button to jump on the other. This not only makes the game look slightly blurry, but in my testing with an iPhone 3G resulted in frame rates which are less than desirable for a game that is all about going fast. Fortunately, Sega included a second Read More
