SEGA LAUNCHES CASUAL PORTAL PLAYSEGA
As more publishers take to the web to capture casual-gaming dollars, Sega has taken a page from EA’s Pogo.com and launched its PlaySEGA portal. The site currently is offering reworked Flash versions of its own hits (most notably the unfortunately Mario-less Sonic at the Olympic Games) as well as third parties (see: anything by pixel-geniuses Nitrome), and says that its for-pay VIP service will soon offer Sega classics like Columns, Puyo Pop, Chu Chu Rocket, Sonic The Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball Tip n’ Tilt.
Like Pogo’s “gems,” playing PlaySEGA games will net you Sonic’s “rings,” which you can use to customize your avatar and add items to your delightfully named “Escape Zone” profile page.
