Crazy fighting game
Apparently this is quite old but I have never seen it before and thought it was rather cool so here it is anyway. Technically the basic stuff wouldn't be that hard to do, but boy would you need a big living room to play this. This really takes Eye Toy and the Wii to the next level!

Video Games are good for the brain
Just spotted a report mentioned on Yahoo! stating that video games may be good for the brain.
The idea that video games exercise your brain is, I would have thought, obvious but it's nice to see there is research that confirms my thoughts.
Despite claiming to be an avid gamer there was also this quote from the researcher...
He suggested that somewhere down the road, video games might be tailored to help the elderly keep their minds sharp.
Which seems a little strange considering ...
Elebits – domino course
Elebits is a new game for the Nintendo Wii and until I saw the following video I wasn't overly interested in it.

Top 10 Sony lies
I am a Nintendo fan boy, but even those who aren't must have noticed how well Nintendo has been doing recently. They can't seem to put a foot wrong. Sony, on the other hand, just keep messing up.
Jason Thompson (Midwestern geek) has put together a list of the top 10 lies Sony have told relating to the PS3. This isn't a fan boy thing either, all the lies are sourced so you can see them for yourself.

video game artist
Was pointed towards Aram Bartholl recently. I studied art at both school and university and never really took to the modern variety. There was some cool stuff being done but in general it didn't interest me. However when it's coupled with video games modern art becomes the best thing ever...
Speed - Bringing Need for Speed into the real worldMake your own Xbox 360 game
Sony have tried it a couple of times with the Net Yaroze on the original PlayStation and then the Linux dev kit on the PS2 but nether really picked up the way you would imagine.
The idea of going back to gamings routes, with people copying endless reams of code from magazines, not understanding what it means and praying that they will get some sort of enjoyable game out at the end, is enticing.
Microsoft have decided
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
