Kuju Entertainment and Sega team up again on Wii

After Sega decided not to advertise the brilliant game Crush by Zoë Mode, I’m surprised that Kuju is still working with Sega. It seems this time their development team Headstrong Games will be working on an untitled Wii action game. They are the studio that worked on Battalion Wars 2, so we should expect a […]

Zoe Mode to open London studio

This isn’t Sega news per-se, but it is related to Sega.
As every Sega Nerd should know that Zoe Mode is the company responsible for the most excellent, and horrifically underrated, CRUSH on the PSP (which is still my favourite PSP game by far).
Zoe Mode, formerly Kuju-Brighton (and based in Brighton), has been expanding it’s staff […]

Sega Deals: Crush for $15 at Amazon

Critically acclaimed, criminally underlooked and completely fun to play. That’s Zoë Mode’s Crush for PSP in one sentence.
In case you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to purchase one of the most innovative handheld titles this generation for a price so low it’s practically stealing from a blind, deaf and paralyzed person. […]

Sega is a publishing hero

The fifth annual Develop Awards have been handed out, and a couple of them are relevant to Sega and Sega nerds! The European awards ceremony has many categories, and winners are decided by industry experts.
British developer Zoë Mode took home the “New Handheld IP” award for the excellent PSP game Crush. Very well-deserved, if I […]

Interview: Paul Mottram, Zoë Mode senior producer

Now I understand why the Crush developers wanted their name changed from the boring Kujo Brighton to the humorously curious Zoë Mode. Only people who are insanely crazy yet remarkably brilliant would do such a thing.
After playing Crush for a few minutes, it’s crystal clear the guys and gals at Zoë Mode know how to […]

Crush nominated for best new handheld IP award

It looks like all the great things reviewers have said about Sega’s wacky new puzzler Crush hasn’t fallen on deaf ears as it’s been nominated for the Best New Handheld/Mobile IP award for 2007 at the Develop Industry Awards ceremony in the UK.
Crush is up against Zendoku, B-Boy, Galaxy on Fire and Thrillville. If I […]
