Sega on Steam
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Ryan. Tagged with Golden Compass, Sega Rally Revo, Total War.
Sega recently announced that it is to join the growing list of publishers which sell its games via Steam. When buying from Steam you will get a ‘virtual’ copy of the game which will download directly to your computer’s hard drive.
Games available right now include many of the critically acclaimed Total War titles such as Rome Total War and Medieval 2 Total War plus expansions, as well as Sega Rally and Outrun 2006 Coast2Coast. Upcoming games include Universe at War: Earth Assault and The Golden Compass.
Here’s the Official Announcement from Valve via Steam:
Sega® and Valve® today announce an agreement to deliver a lineup of new Sega titles to customers around the world via Steam®, the leading online platform for PC games.
The new Sega games coming to Steam include Universe at War: Earth Assult, The Golden Compass, Sega Rally Revo, Sega Rally, Worldwide Soccer Manager, Futbol Manager and more. In addition to the new line up games, Sega titles previously released on Steam to customers in North America, such as Medieval II and Rome Total War, are now available to Steam gamers in Europe and most of the world. Sega Rally Revo and Sega Rally, two highly anticipated new racing titles, are available now.
Universe at War: Earth Assult – an epic real-time strategy game – and The Golden Compass – an action/adventure title based on New Line Cinema’s upcoming feature film – are targeted for release in December.
I don’t know about you guys but I would really like to see some Sega classics that made it to the PC such as Typing of the Dead, Virtua Fighter 2 and Sonic Mega Collection Plus.

Steam is also notorious for not exactly working all that swimmingly for non-Valve games. Still, though, the exposure is a good thing, I suppose.
