Sega Mobile: Blast from the past

Launched in April at CTIA Wireless 2008 in Las Vegas, Sega's pack of mobile games serves up the timeless Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball, along with others. Old-school console games have long been resized and recoded for petite devices--remember Nintendo's uber-popular Game Boy?--so it shouldn't be surprising that gameplay with the spiky, Smurf-haired rodent is a faithful, engaging ride. Sega Mobile games are available through a variety of carriers for select handsets.
