Sonic returns to the Nintendo DS in an all-new frantic adventure complete with dizzying dives, near vertical curves and brain twisting loops. Sonic Rush Adventure will retain the DS action that fans loved so much from Sonic Rush, as well as providing a new high seas adventure where Sonic clashes with ruthless pirates. Players will set off from Windmill Village as Sonic and blast their way through seven action-packed and widely diverse levels. Sonic Rush Adventure will make full use of the DS Download Play feature and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which enables gamers to compete with friends in wireless racing and mission-based battles.

Guide Sonic through numerous action stages in the fast and furious single player mode, whilst collecting valuable items and materials that enable Sonic and Tails to track down the villainous pirates. With a fleet of up to five ships, including a submarine, water bike and hovercraft, Sonic Rush Adventure uses the Touch Screen technology in exciting new ways. Use the Nintendo DS Stylus to help control vessels as they race across the ocean gathering rings, performing tricks, and torching pirate boats, whilst engaging in fierce ship-to-ship battles. At the end of each level, epic 3D boss battles spanning both screens will test gamers skills to result in an ultimate showdown with the evil boss character, Captain Whisker.

Sonic Rush Adventure allows players to bounce, fly, swing, ride and run through grand environments of lush forests, an ominous ghost ship, snow covered mountains, pirate villages and a vast underwater sea cave. Along the way there will be a variety of enemy characters to battle against including robots, skeleton warriors, pterodactyls, and a robotic triceratops.

SEGA has announced that Sonic Rush has released for the Nintendo DS.

In this version, Sonic is working with a new character Blaze the Cat as you must search for Sol Emeralds so they don't fall in the wrong hands. Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing at SEGA said, "Sonic Rush combines the gameplay finesse and level design of the class 2D Sonic titles with fully 3D character models, bosses and effects."

The game also features a 2-player battle mode and more. Sonic Rush will retail for $34.95.

A rock-solid game design paradigm these days is as follows: take the popular elements of two-to-three best-selling games and squeeze them into one game in half the time at a quarter of the cost. Today's subject is L.A. Rush from Midway, and its victims are the Midnight Club, Grand Theft Auto, and Burnout franchises, as well as (I suppose) True Crime: Streets of LA. There were no survivors.

L.A. Rush tells the archetypal tale of the underground street racing champ who has all of his cars stolen by a zoot-suit wearing opponent. As is the logical thing to do after having all of your cars stolen, our young hero by the name of Trikz decides to re-enter the underground racing circuit with nothing but his beat up old jalopy and steal back his cars. Obviously, when your cars are stolen away you wouldn't want to involve the police, because... down with the man?

Anyway, LA Rush is a pretty straightforward street racing game that takes place in a free-roaming and full-fledged Los Angeles, California. The meat of the game takes place in straightforward races in an underground circuit where you'll try to rank up to compete with the pro's for big bucks, but there are a few more modes to keep things semi-interesting. As you progress, your friends will clue you in on the locations of some of your stolen cars that you'll need to go steal back. The second you get in the new car, however, some thugs (about 500) of the bad guy will come careening at you in blue SUVs. For some reason or another, they'll try like the dickens to destroy your car before you can get it home.

R.O.S.E. Online, which stands for Rush On Seven Episodes, is a new MMORPG which will soon hit the market in North America. Currently the game is in an open beta phase, which means that anyone who wants to can register for and download the game for free. The game is being developed by Korean developer Gravity, the maker of Ragnarok Online. It's important to note that this review covers the European version of the game, and was conducted on ROSE's European server.

The storyline of ROSE centers on a war between two gods. Arua, the goddess of Good, created seven worlds which were good, happy places until Hebarn, god of Evil, took control of the seventh world and caused everything to go amok. Players are thrust into the middle of this conflict and must restore order to the seven worlds.

The star feature of ROSE is the graphics engine. The visuals have an anime look to them, which is distinctly unique to the genre. Cartoony visuals are nothing new to MMORPGs, but anime style cartoon graphics are unique. The graphics are certainly the game’s most appealing feature, as they greatly enhance the atmosphere of the game and help to slightly make up for its shortcomings in other areas.

System Rush for the Nokia N-Gage is a futuristic racer in the same vein of Tron. The game puts you in the role of a good computer hacker who must defeat enemy hackers to get the code. System Rush features 15 levels for battling.

The game graphically is very reminiscient of Tron; it even has the outlined blue lighting that is seen in the movie and games. This particularly is interesting and makes it stand out on the small N-Gage screen. Graphically, nothing is too outstanding as you're driving by very plain and not visually-stimulating boxes.

The controls are pretty simple. More important than that, though, is the gameplay which will feature two-player bluetooth play, shadow racing against other players, downloads, and even the ability to do jumps off the side walls.
