Sonic Rivals: Speedy Characters

The gaming press last saw Sonic Rivals at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, held in Los Angeles.

And for those who don't know, the game combines platforming and speed to form a competitive race title.

You can choose from a roster of familiar characters, including Knuckles, Shadow, and of course, Sonic. Rivals plays a lot like the classic 16-bit titles that shipped for the Sega Genesis. And that's by no means a bad thing. In fact, it's a safe bet fans wouldn't have it any other way.

Midway Announces Myst For PSP

London - June 08th , 2006 - Midway Games Ltd., a subsidiary of Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), today announced a European publishing agreement (excluding South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) for Myst™ on PSP, the latest version of the epic adventure from Cyan Worlds. Over a decade since PC adventurers first sampled the delights of Myst’s emotive and visual feasts, the new handheld development will engage the player like never before and literally take them to another world.

There are no instructions and the player begins a voyage of exploration without encountering a single living soul. Alone on a mysterious island, you set out to explore its grandeur and mystery. Here a chilling tale of intrigue and injustice, defying all boundaries of space and time, is being told. Quickly, though, it becomes clear every action can somehow help unfortunate individuals trapped somewhere in a parallel dimension. The Myst adventure is like no other, tantalizing with its unique combination of lavish environments, puzzles, mazes, and a sizzling underlying drama which steadily unfolds to reward the player further still. More details about the game and release information will be made available shortly.
