Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Review
By David Oxford
Why does Sonic need a car to race? One must wonder if it's this inevitable, always-inane question that helped inspire the developers at Sumo Digital to create a game in which moving along the ground at high speeds is not always the key to victory. In Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, you'll not only need to master the fine art of automobile racing, but you'll also need to display dominance in soaring through the sky and riding the waves in order to succeed and capture the checkered flag.Of course, if you've managed to play the game on the PC or one of its many handheld and high-definition console releases from just over a year ago, then you already knew this. With that experience, you might think you know just what to expect from the new mobile release. And to a certain extent, you would be correct."At its very core, the mobile release of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is the same as its previously-released brethren: You choose from one of a cast of SEGA (and other) characters and motor around various courses inspired by SEGA games from throughout the company's ages, using a multitude of zany Mario Kart-esque weapons to offset your opponents and take the lead over land, sea, and air. However, it's much of the framework around that core that differs in this version of the title.Castle of Illusion Review
By David Oxford
Before we get into this, a disclaimer: This reviewer has never played Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse in its original release for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. As such, no comparisons to the original game are to be found in this review, and it will only be judged on its own merits. That said, this iOS port of the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3/PC remake is good. Quite good, in fact, and perhaps surprisingly so. Platformers can be hit or miss on the iPhone, especially when they weren't originally made with the system in mind; and when they fall, they can fall hard.Such is not the case here, though. While not perfect, Castle of Illusion still works well in the palm of your hand, and almost feels like it's been optimized to compensate for its shortcomings. The biggest issue we had was with the controls, which feel a bit sticky when you try to move in just about any direction except to the right. This provides a bit of a problem when you need to duck, or worse, when the left-right portions change to full-on 3D movement, which the game does seamlessly otherwise."Even so, the game doesn't seem to have a standard lives system, as such games from the era of the original typically did. On occasion, including near the start, you might run into a situation where it feels like a checkpoint would be handy, but for the most part, they're frequent and the lack of lives means you can continue trying as much as you need to in order to get it right.Godsrule: War of Mortals Review
By Leif Johnson
Longtime readers of this site may know I have a problem with the current explosion of social strategy games. By the time you've played your twentieth variation of the same formula, they've all started to blur together into a confused jumble of housing, farms, and amicable quest givers. I think I've forgotten the names of most of them. And that's why I found myself looking so forward to Godsrule: War of Mortals. For one, it was published by Sega, whose name still evokes awesomeness despite the many years since the glory days of Sonic the Hedgehog; and for another, it promised to deliver a brand of social strategy combat worth paying attention to. Here, I'd hoped, was a social strategy game worthy of the gods.Sonic the Hedgehog Review
By David Oxford
More than just a mere update, SEGA's new release of Sonic the Hedgehog rebuilds the Genesis classic from the ground up to not only run on iPhone, but feel optimized for it as well. Fortunately for those who already purchased the original version, upgrading to this version comes at no extra cost.House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels Review
By Dant Rambo
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've probably played a game about shooting zombies. In fact, you've probably played several of them. They've practically evolved into their own genre, thanks in no small part to the mainstream success of titles like Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising.House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels Preview
By Dant Rambo
As an avid fan of the House of the Dead series, I approached House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels with a slight feeling of concern. It's an iOS and Android port of a game I thoroughly enjoyed, and it's always worrisome to see a console game get adapted for smartphones and tablets. Now, having played the game for almost 20 minutes, my feeling of concern has turned into one of anticipation.Sonic Dash Review
By Jim Squires
For someone who seems to speed his way through life at a breakneck pace, Sonic the Hedgehog really knows how to get stuck in a rut. SEGA's flagship franchise has suffered a series of missteps since 2003's Sonic Heroes, with the only few bright spots in the last decade being old school 2D releases like Sonic Rush and Sonic the Hedgehog 4. And for me, the frustrations go even further back. I couldn't even get into the Sonic Adventure series (sacrilege, I know). In my experience, everything post-1993 has been something of a letdown.Godsrule: War of Mortals Preview
By Nick Tylwalk
Don't you hate it when the Old Gods and the New Gods decide to throw down over the fate of your world? Yeah, me too. Sega and Gogogic want to make sure we aren't just pawns, whipping up Godsrule: War of Mortals to allow us to have some say in our fate. Because if mastering cross-platform RTS action won't show the gods who's boss, nothing will.
