Vessel

Better late than never, but the upcoming game Vessel from Strange Loop Games looks beautiful. The fluid physics is enough to warrant a look. This is exactly the kind of game that I would only ever want to play on a 2D plain. Thanks to this and Pixel Junk Shooter I now demand fluid physics in all my games.

The Last Guardian - IN YOUR EYES!



Screenshots. Normally the most boring aspects of video game hype which leaves me hanging for a video, but the new Last Guardian images have me staring at the screen doughy-eyed with the grin of a man who found a baby Panda in the mail.

A Panda covered in puppies.

Assassin's Creed 2 

A typical exchange at my place this week:

 

‘I can’t wait till you finish that game’

‘Eh Bambino? Itsa fantastico!’

‘Your accent is not Benne’

‘Frutata pesto taglietelle’

‘Shut up...’

‘Bella! I’ma ...’

‘Now.’

So now that I’ve finished Assassin’s Creed 2, and I can finally open my mouth without sounding like an advert for microwavable pizza, I think it's time to reflect on my time in the 15th century. Some spoilers incoming.

is this it?

Sofari.net has been parked here for a while now nothing happening. This is especially annoying seeing as I paid for this thing. Unfortunately little things like travel, a worrying economic climate and that ‘life’ thing had other ideas. More on my obligatory 'hello world' post after the jump...
