3G brings you Sega games. And a girlfriend.

Two quick stories from 3gnewsroom.com. Sega has developed a 3D tennis sim for Vodafone's 3G enabled handsets. It's called Super Real Tennis and features a super simple control interface (one button to hit the ball, so you don't get the usual lob option). We're not quite sure why the company hasn't stuck with its Virtua Tennis brand - perhaps 'Super Real' isn't quite as real as 'Virtual'? Who knows. It's out in December anyway.

Also, a Hong Kong developer named Artifical Life has just released the world's most advanced dating sim onto 3G phones. V-Girl Version 1 features:

"...artificial intelligence, text to speech, real time chat, sophisticated user profiling and user specific content delivery, high quality 3D animations and graphics, context sensitive functions and menu icons, over 3000 different video and audio streams, built in user contests, games-in-game functions and... intelligent, interactive product placement opportunities for sponsors and advertisers."


Why, that's almost everything a man looks for in a real lady!
