Thanks, obviously, to the arrival of SEGA games and the input of SEGA-affiliated developers. The efforts of which could even make PlayStation3 look half-decent. That’s our ‘angle’ at least.

Project Gotham Racing on mobile phone Project Gotham Racing on mobile phone

Like Project Gotham Racing Mobile, which is coming soon. It excitingly embraces the thrilling communication device medium by letting you download ghost cars of other racers and upload your own. The kids will go mad for that, at least they will when they’re not exchanging weird smiley faces and photos of their genitals on MySpace.

ChuChu Rocket on mobile and looking alright

There’s also ChuChu Rocket. Arguing with games of this quality is pointless. You can try, but you’d look really stupid and like you were arguing with a telephone.

If only SEGA would still take risks on exciting new ideas like Monkey Ball. It wouldn’t get made today, would it? Poor old Nagoshi-san would get told to go back to his little office and have a more commercial idea, preferably one to do with earning ‘turf’ and ‘respect’ in a city environment.

You can try out java versions of all these mobile games for free here. There’s also one called Sexy Babes Wild Waterslides which we have requested a full version of for review.
