The premise is simple. Two office workers, Tobio and Karin, carom down Tokyo streets on office furniture to try to get away from Yakuza thugs. Along with the wackiness, the bright lighting and colorful art reminded me of the arcade classics SEGA was prone to putting out in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as Crazy Taxi. On the first level, I played Karin as she rolled down the street on her office chair. The controls use a combination of motion and traditional butto.. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.shacknews.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">Shacknews</a></i><br /> 2010-03-12T03:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/853088-sega-offers-discounted-bundles-aplenty-on-playstation-network/rss/ SEGA has had a variety of specials running since last Thursday for those who are on the PlayStation Network. Fortunately, they are slated to continue through the 18th, so it's not too late to get in on the action. On the PlayStation Portable, there are two game packages available, with the first being the "Driving Me Crazy" bundle, containing Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars and Full Auto 2: Battlelines. SEGA doesn't name a price on this one, just that you can save $12 by purchasing it, so if you're interested in those two, it might be worth looking at. The other is the "Set My Pulse Racing" bundle.. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.kombo.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">Kombo.com</a></i><br /> 2010-02-17T07:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/848333-crazy-taxi-review/rss/ This isn't a perfect re-creation of the classic arcade racer, but it's a fair game in its own right. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.gamespot.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">GameSpot</a></i><br /> 2010-02-13T03:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/847346-demos-of-heavy-rain-socom-and-echoshift-now-on-psn-/rss/ Last night's PlayStation Store update was highlighted by the release of the promised Heavy Rain demo. In it, you'll be able to play two full chapters from the game as FBI agent Norman Jayden and private investigator Scott Shelby. If you'd rather avoid any potential spoiler-filled content until Heavy Rain comes out on February 23, there are three new PSone games now available ($5.99, all available for PS3 and PSP): Dirt Jockey, Populous: The Beginning, and Sim Theme Park.

Anyway, with Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing off on the horizon, I thought it would make a good running theme for Week-Ending Game Endings to get reacquainted with some of SEGA's classic characters and franchises by checking out the endings from the games in which they appeared (as much as possible, anyway; did Crazy Taxi really have anything resembling an ending?).

So as an &quot;adult&quot; (I use that term loosely when referring to myself) we carry the torch into alcoholic beverages, mixing them in with our video game time.
