Fable III’s opening

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Lionhead have released the opening cinematic to Fable III. Chickens can expect no mercy from this series. Here’s the blurb; In a world where freedom is nothing more than a dream, Albion’s oppressed and downtrodden citizens desperately need a hero. Against all odds, our aspiring hero dares to take a stand against his sworn enemy […]

Second trailer for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Walden Films have released the second trailer for the next Chronicles of Narnia film – The Voyage of the Drawn Treader. Yup. It’s going to be in 3D. You have to wonder what’ll happen to the franchise if the Dawn Treader does even more poorly than Prince Caspain did. What do you make of the […]

Criminal Girls RPG in pictures

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Thanks you guys (and I suspect not you girls). A few days ago I posted about a quirky RPG that could have only come out of Japan. Criminal Girls is an RPG where you punish girls to save them from the tower of hell. The post has been this weeks most popular entry on Geek […]

Don’t go zombie: the Virgin Trains game of head shots and zombies

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think the point of this game is to suggest that travelling around your otherwise safe and familiar neighbourhood would be dangerous if it was filled with zombies. No, wait, that’s not it. I think the point of the game is to show you that the daily commute can turn you into a zombie. If […]

Talking ping-pong balls

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Forget flick books. They’re not techy enough. You can create a flick book effect with some pretty impressive syncing with just some ping-pong balls, a pen, some light and a few thousand pounds worth of hard core high tech! Isn’t that much better? I thought so. So did the New Scientist. What do you think? […]

Bio-tech game controllers: every so slightly creepy

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I always really like it when talent at Deviant Art (or any similar site; Etsy, for example) scores the limelight. This is certainly true for Mads Peitersen who’s had their artwork highlighted by the mighty Kotau. Mads has drawn some fine – but every so slightly creep – bio tech systems. I mean “biology” meets […]

Evil GMs take notice: A real life horror is the goblin shark

August 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Oh. My. Word. This beast is real. It’s a freak. The goblin shark is considered to be ancient – even by shark standards – so it’s got to be pretty bloomin’ old. Frankly, it reminds me of Aliens. It’s the mouth. That evil, freakly, shoot out and get grab your arm, mouth! You’ve just got […]

Music video: Daft Punk vs Tron vs Tron Legacy = Daft Tron

August 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One word: Awesome This is Eclectic Method‘s Daft Tron music video. It’s awesome because it’s Daft Punk doing Tron. It’s Daft Punk doing Tron with clips from the original Tron and Tron Legacy mixed it. We’re not worthy! https://vimeo.com/13709012 But perhaps this Tron fanboy, this Daft Punk fanboy, is bias. What do you make of […]

Play Mario with your face

August 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Isn’t tech wonderful? Haven’t you always wanted to play Mario with your face? What? No? How can you say that? Don’t you want to make that plumber jump just by looking up? Oh, okay… so maybe you’re not keen but maybe you’d like to know how Eye Mario works? If you do; watch on!

What If Video Games had a “Super Easy Mode”?

August 4, 2010 by Paul Leave a Comment

Let’s face it, the classic age of 8 & 16-Bit gaming had some real hurt lockers compared to a lot of modern games. The humble difficulty setting, the stalwart of any modern game worth it’s salt, was conspicuous by it’s absence. College Humor has taken a look at what it would be like if there […]
