This is also to test out Twitter Tools, to check how it integrates. Slowly but surely I’m trimming the number of applications and Web sites I have to visit to keep everything updated.
That’s a bit of a mouthful eh? Well Sega Mobile is offering it’s US residents the chance to download three of their titles for nothing. Sonic Jump, After Burner II and Golden Axe are all on offer, from GameJump. The game’s are being offered for free through a partnership deal with GreyStripe. There is, however, a catch. The games are free but they contain adverts. I’m not entirely sure how bad the adverts are or how annoying they might be, as it seems the deal is not open for European gamers,

After Burner is a 1987 Japanese arcade game by Sega. It is the first game in the After Burner series. It is one of the first games designed by Yu Suzuki.
The game allows the player to control a F-14 Tomcat jet which must destroy a series of enemy jets. The jet itself employs a machine gun and a limited set of missiles that are replenished by another aircraft after beating a few stages, and can be controlled with a flight stick (which the cannon and missile buttons are also implemented) by dropping or gaining altitude, and rolling.
After Burner is a very rare game and has seen releases mostly in Japan. It is said by some sources that this game was actually a prototype version, and its sequel, After Burner II, was a more complete version of the game, given the great similarities between both games.
Aside from After Burner II and III, the series hasn't seen any sequels until franchise was revitalized in 2006 with the release of After Burner Climax for arcades on the Sega Lindbergh hardware, followed by After Burner: Black Falcon for the PSP in 2007, though some games, such as G-LOC: Air Battle and Sky Target follow similar gameplay and, as such, can technically be considered part of the series.
