Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia’s sexual innuendo

December 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might have heard that Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia has pretty funny dialogue. It’s a script that often features sexual innuendo. Ar Tonelico is an old RPG for the PlayStation 2. I think Melody of Elemia was out in 2007. Geek Native has an example of said innuendo. In this scene our her Lyner […]

Mario inspires Coldplay

December 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you noticed the Mario musical influence in Coldplay? No? It’s totally there. The start of Viva La Vida is in fact a version of the Star Power theme. I have proof. Convinced?

Night of the Sacrifice: Wii Balance Board horror game

December 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you use your Wii balance board very much any more? Might you use it more if it was part of a horror game? Are you, like me, curious as to how the balance board could be used in a horror game? Sadly, we’ll have to wait and find out. We do know that Famitsu […]

Metroid: Mega Awesome Samus Aran cosplay

December 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Samus Aran is the sexy hero from Metroid – although some of us only realised how sexy she was during Super Smash Bros when she stripped off her gravity suit to continue the fight. The godlike cosplay engineers at Pixel Ninja have constructed a most remarkable Samus Aran costume for a fantastic Metroid cosplay. The […]

Interactive Puppet Kinect Act

November 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Kinect may not appeal to everyone but a sign that it’s here to stay is how quickly so many people are doing cool things with it. These cool things are often a result of hacking. To begin with Microsoft wasn’t that happy about the hacking. The good news is that they now say they’re […]

Getting sweaty with Melinda Messenger

November 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s a safe bet to assume that I’m not a sports head (or spead, as I call them). However, sports games have been good to the computer game industry – they’ve lured in speads, cashed their money and helped gaming become mainstream. It’s also a set bet that EA will be pushing EA Sports Active […]

Use your Kinect for 3D films

November 15, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve seen some Microsoft provided demos of the Kinect’s quasi-3D abilities and they’re all pretty cool. I think video might be just as cool. It’s simple but it’s also very effective. It also runs off hacked Kinect drivers and so the h4xx0r5 will be happy. What do you think? Pretty cool? The Kinect could also […]

Kinect through night vision – the video

November 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might well have heard the Kinect looks kinda cool through night vision. I’ve stumbled across this HD video showing just what happens. I’m not an expert but it does seem to me as if the Kinect bathes the room with dots and then detects the motion through them. I’ve seen some demos from Rare […]

Fable III: Revolution

October 16, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As computer games are as big as movies these days – if not bigger – they get professional agency treatment on the trailers. This trailer for Fable III is called Revolution. It’s a slo-mo montage of Fable III inspired images. Heck. They might even be scenes from the cut scenes. We’ll have to wait and […]

LEGO Wii Remote

October 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fancy building your own Wii remote? At the very least; do you fancy being able to decorate your own Wii remote? What if I said “Lego”? Interested now? There we have it – after years of increasingly clever Lego computer games (the joys of Lego Star Wars) we now have a $40 LEGO branded Wii […]
