Following Saturday’s BBC broadcast of the latest episode of Doctor Who, fans were treated to their first glimpse of the new Doctor Who: The Adventure Games in action, and now we’re treating you.
Help the newly regenerated Eleventh Doctor, his gorgeous companion Amy Pond, and the Eleventh Doctor’s hair in Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, free interactive episodes of the beloved time-travelling TV series, coming this June from the BBC and Sumo Digital.
Despite being largely overlooked in favour of louder, faster games, Sumo’s OutRun 2 was one of the most joyous racing experiences of the last hardware generation. And next week, it arrives on the current generation.
Outrun Online Arcade has us excited. But if you’re American and own a PS3, you may want to ease back on the throttle of your own white-hot excitement jets. For safety reasons.
Sega Superstars Tennis gives us the most conflicted early feelings of any game we know of in development. On the one hand, it’s Sega. On the other, Sumo Digital is actually doing the work. On the original hand, it’s going to prominently feature Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog. On that other hand again, it has Ulala and Gum and Beat. But back on the negative hand, this is certainly not how we expected to hear from Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio‘s main players. Returning to the positive hand, we are pleasantly surprised to see how well Chu Chu Rocket mini-gameplay seems to be integrated.
My brain is about to be ripped in half as I struggle to come to terms with Sega’s answer to Mario Tennis. Do we hate it to death or smother it into oblivion? Someone! Do the thinking for us!
Foundation 9 Entertainment, the developer that has studios scattered all over North America, has added the UK-based Sumo Digital (of Virtua Tennis, etc. fame) to their stable. Terms of the acquisition were not released and the transition should be complete by the end of the year. Full press release after the jump.
