There was actually a Sega week, but that was last month. It was between May 17 to May 24.

Edit: They could have discounted the Sega classic games found on Steam, but that only came out like 2 weeks ago and they are relatively cheap ($2.99).

That's a weak ass sale. Is there anything Sega can't fuck up?

.

I think I already own about 10 different copies of these Sonic games and now I could even play them on my Xbox 360..yeah!

btw.: You have to pay extra to play with Ryo in Sega Allstars?

These developers are really getting ruthless.

I'll probably give Super Monkey Ball iPad a try.

Any gaffer reviews for it?
Click to expand...

I just bought the damned thing for £5 the day before yesterday. =(

Don't like it - the frame rate's too low and the default calibration is at 45 degrees, so next to unusable. Can't see an option to recalibrate either.

Monkey target is from a cannon, a bit sucky.

Have all the Xbox 360 games on offer, and I'm not particularly interested in the PSN or iTunes ones.

What would tempt me is if they put the MegaDrive collection for PSP on the Euro PSN on offer. But I doubt that very much.

What a shitty sale. XBLA has it best with all of the classic Sonic games, but seriously, pretty much anybody who likes them has already downloaded them all by now (I have).

If they wanted to celebrate Sonic's birthday and summer in style, they should have worked to get Sonic Adventure up on XBLA and PSN sooner. THAT would have been sweet.

Just how bad are the Sonic Rivals games? I mean I know they're not great but their Sonic games, so you know that's worth something, right? Which is the better one (or should that be least shitty?)

As a Sonic fan who really doesn't feel the need to buy the Genesis games for, let's see, the sixth time (and there's been more opportunities than that), it does bug me to see the PSN sale being put down as the "shitty" one. Even if you don't like Unleashed, ASR is a good game, and it's nice to see the overpriced DLC taken down a notch.

I played the first one a little and really didn't care for it. I've heard the second one is better, it looked more interesting in the trailers too, so that's my recommendation.

It's still horribly overpriced. I got the ASR DLC day one, and felt ripped off. I'd still feel ripped off if I paid that new price. One track (Death Egg Zone) and one character (Metal Sonic) is pathetic, and then there's Forklift Ryo, who is already on the disc, and should have just remained a pre-order exclusive (that's how I got him).

Hell, it wouldn't even be so bad if multiple people could play as the same character, but you can't. So only one person in an online game gets to play as Metal Sonic, and since there's only one new track, you're still mostly going to be playing all the old ones. Online games will be exactly the same as without DLC 95% of the time.

PAL looks to be included, I have the option on my Australian Xbox dashboard, at least.

Are any of the iphone games good?

The recent EA sale and this sale on the appstore kinda spit in the face of that macworld article. So much for originality

PSN downloads are awesomely stupid.

Considering I own all the classic on XBLA twice (once on XBLA, SOnics Ultimate GC as well), this is completely worthless. I might have bought Adventure, but not I'm leaning towards..no.
