Sega, it seems, doesn't want us to go down to the pub. It's brought that bastion of British pub gaming – darts - to the DS.

While we initially baulked in fear at the concept of darts being taken away from a smoky corner of the local pub, a couple of realisations have dawned that have swung us around.

1.It's the DS! The most portable of all handheld consoles. Granted, you might get a few funny looks as you're sitting around nursing your pint with a DS in hand, but eventually society will move on and accept you.

2.Dartboards are increasingly difficult to find in this day and age, so Sega is no doubt doing us a favour.

Sega Presents Touch Darts presents players with the opportunity to control their throw with a sweep across the DS's touch screen using the stylus.

Touch Darts is furnished with a suitably quirky cast of pub oddballs to throw your arrows/sweep the stylus with, although if you do opt to take it down to the pub, the lines between game and reality may start to blur. << less
