Street Fighter, Beautiful?

Check out the new Street Fighter trailer here.

It's beautiful. Really.

Is it possible to take a moral stance with in-game advertising?

Ouch.
If the advertising helps pay for longer development and better gameplay - and hence more consumer value-for-money*, where do you draw the line?

Ever wanted to see what's eating up your c:\ (or, where your PS3 memory budget has gone...)?

Another classic is coming back...









You just can't keep a good game down. Let's hope it's the original version that's ported.

Adidas Superstars...

...my fourth passion, and undoubtedly a design classic in their own right.

This store ship to the UK and (being US) are quite a bit cheaper.

They also have a "NEW SNEAKER" email alert.

Sweet!

...and another.


Number 5.

Awesome!

Best Racing Game of E3


Burnout 5 also voted number 1 by Gamespot.

The other finalists were: MotoGP 07 (360) ; NASCAR 08 (X360, PS3)
Need for Speed ProStreet (X360, PS3) ; Project Gotham Racing 4 (X360)

Nice company to have.

E3 Awards

As the dust settles from the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Burnout is faring well...

We've so far claimed 3 awards...








Kotaku - Racing game of the Show.
Kotaku - Best Multiplayer game of the Show.
Gametrailers - Best Racing game of the Show.

Why is this cool? Because it means we beat Need For Speed Pro Street, Project Gotham Racing 4, Flatout Ultimate Carnage & Sega Rally Revo.

Sorry, this stuff matters to me.

Phone Home

So, Steven Spielberg is using my software.

No, really.

Well, his team is anyway - on one of his collaborative projects with EA.

Which means he's at least 'seen it'.

My code.

Cool.

E3 Update


The day before it all kicks-off 'for proper', and the press are loving it.


"Burnout Paradise gameplay footage wrecks our hearts" - whatever that means.

...and the First B5 E3 interview.

Burnout5 E3 Update

First in-game footage released; feedback from E3 sounds excellent.

Horrah.

Thanks Eric.

Yet another way to browse photo's.

In the race to digitize the entire world, this is fun and possibly useful tec.

Annoyingly from Microsoft.

Trip Advisor



I love this site, and feel a warm internal smugness that I've given something back.

It was acceptable in the 80's

...but these games don't really cut the mustard anymore.

Although what is impressive, is that they've remained largely hidden from the world until now.
