An extremely difficult song on GH2 that has been mastered (on expert) by an 8 year old.

The game is feeling really great!  Here are some links to a gameplay video and screenshots for our 2nd movie (Overdrive) we're exposing to the press before our launch.  The FX in this game are incredible.

Stuntman: Ignition Trailer

We were just shown our final game trailer and I must say this is right behind Gears of War as one of the best trailers I've seen for a video game.  I can't wait to watch it in public and see other's reaction.

XBox 360 Live Arcade

What's up with the $10 games here?  These games are twice as expensive as they should be.  The older arcade games should be 200 points, $2.50, and the other new IP games should be $5.  I'm not going to purchase an 800 point game out of principle.  Unless it's really good... :)

Stuntman: Ignition Wallpaper

The game is really a work of art and now the official Stuntman: Ignition webste is up to prove it.  The website is in development, but expect updates as we release to the press new movies each movie until the game's release.  You can download some decent wallpaper art while you patiently wait for the game's release... :)  Here are the current wallpapers available based on the Aftershock and Overdrive movies.  Download the full-sized versions from the website.

 

I never had an Amiga, but it was always a dream of mine to own one.  I think I had every other Commodore computer except for the PET.  We owned a Vic-20, 2 C64s (why two?  well, I had a accident with a paper clip), and a C128.  Saving my money and purchasing an amazing Vic-20 from the BX at Hickam AFB when I was 10 was a turning point in my life.

I remember playing several of these back in the day, Defender of the Crown on the C64.  That, The Bard's Tale 1-3 and pretty much all of EPYX's games still stick in my mind as some of the best games of all time.  Remember when EA was EOA?  Man, I wasted a ton of graph paper with The Bard's Tale.

I played Another World (US: Out of this World) on my first IBM 386sx.  My friend Will brought it over and we had to much around with various memory conifgurations just to get it to run.

Remember config.sys and himem.sys?  What was it, Dos 6.2 that finally had a memory configuration tool that would muck around with your autoexec.bat and config.sys and through trial and error get an optimal configuration for your system?

Earlier this year, I bought a C64 retro gamepack that hooks directly to your TV.  It has Jumpman, Summer Games, Mission Impossible, Pitstop, and many others.  I remember enjoying Pitstop more than I do now, but Jumpman is still awesome.

What about Lode Runner?  I still have the Win95 box of the update to the game Steve M and I played quite a bit.  I can't seem to find the floppies, but the box is still cool.

Sweet Xbox 360 Keyboard Attachment

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Very novel idea from Microsoft, I was expecting their keyboard to be a full-size wireless keyboard that I'd have to find a place to hide in the living room.  Fortunately, they've designed a killer backlit-keyboard attachment to use with their upcoming instant messaging support. 

I also hope that it will work within the Media Extender to search for shows or go to a particular channel since it's very cumbersome to use the current remote control for that.

Here is a image of it and a link to engadget's article describing it in more detail:
