Tom Baker reading out user-submitted SMS messages. No, I don’t know why either.
A Flash game to promote some Peugeot car. Mildly entertaining for a couple of minutes, but I don’t know why every screen is marked ‘Demo Only’. Maybe you get the full thing if you buy a car?
A high-resolution remake of Another World has [...]
Well, today was in interesting day.
Sane discussion on the matter will have to wait until I haven’t spent the previous several hours in the pub.
A Lancashire bus driver has been fired after being caught playing Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on his PSP whilst driving.
Biggest. Video. Game. Collection. Ever!
(Look on the page for more pics. This is only part of it.)
I’ve just got back from the London stop of the “Shadow of the Colossus on a huge screen” tour I mentioned the other day. There are a couple of photos at the end of the post, and the full set is here.
It was held at the London Design Museum near Tower Bridge. The building has [...]
You’ve seen the Sony Bravia TV ad, yes?
Well here’s the Battlefield-nerd version.
NCSoft have released some concept art and screenshots from their latest project: Dragon Runners
It, uh, it looks a lot, and I mean a lot like World of Warcraft; to the extent that I’m trying to find out if they’ve licensed some of WoW’s technology. I’ll be interested to read more about it when there’s more [...]
As a side effect of the Xbox 360’s huge stock shortages when the console launched, the potential reselling profit margins for anyone who managed to get their hands on one are huge. Sitting around the office yesterday we were tracking one particular eBay auction where a system finally sold for £925. For this, the buyer [...]
Wow, what a weird feeling. I’ve just found out that Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer has finally been released. This was one of the last games that we worked on at Vis before the company crawled up its own arse and died.
The product was kind of in limbo, since the game had been completed [...]
This is allegedly a teaser trailer for the Dead or Alive movie.
It’s… um… yeah. If you though that the Beach Volleyball version was as tacky as the series could get, then you’re just not trying hard enough. We’re through the looking glass here, people.
Update: Fixed link, damnit.
Tontie, is a whack-a-rat style thing from the guy who made the Grow games that I’ve waffled about in the past.
It’s a pretty neat memory- and reaction- based thing, but I’d wouldn’t recommend playing it on a laptop keyboard. That might actually drive you insane.
It also gets hugely difficult on the 10th (and last?) level. [...]
It’s probably a bad sign when you realise that you lost an entire lunch hour (and some time staying behind after work) playing Risk via Google Maps, right?
But it was raining outside! That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
A portable speaker designed to look like a power-up box from Super Mario Brothers.
I’d love to get one, but I’m scared it would be broken by me or someone else head-butting it, hoping that an extra life would come out.
Something Awful’s last Photoshop Phriday was pure comedy gold. Games covers redone to more accurately reflect the game’s content.
Ray Kurzweil and Bill Joy point out that releasing the genome of the 1918 ‘flu virus which killed 50 million people might not be the best idea ever.
Carrying on the theme: a ‘flu wiki. Yay obsessive-compulsiveness.
A creepy half-animal, half-plant microbe. A flagellate which divides into cells which either eat algae or perform photosynthesis.
And now [...]
