WTF: Lucignolo, il videogioco

Friday, August 31st, 2007

lucignoloBucknasty, indagatore dell’incubo e blogger di rango, mi segnala il VIDEOGIOCO DI LUCIGNOLO. Cioè, dico: IL VIDEOGIOCO DI LUCIGNOLO.

‘Il protagonista è un giornalista d’assalto a cui viene presentata una possibilità per emergere nel mondo dell’informazione: dovrà entrare nell’intrigante mondo notturno dei giovani e documentarlo, filmando, travestendosi e agendo come un vero paparazzo.
Il giovane reporter, avrà a disposizione una rete di informatori, con la quale potrà realizzare reportage su situazioni particolarmente surreali, piccanti, trasgressive.’

Cioè, dico solo wow! Qualcuno ha qualche notizia su questo coraggioso produttore (Twilight Games) di cui non esiste traccia online e il cui altro gioco previsto pare essere un altro capolavoro basato su Cultura Moderna?

Quello che mi rassicura è che robe del genere fanno fugaci apparizioni in edicola, vendono qualche copia e poi scompaiono nel nulla. Perfino Lula the Sexy Empire sarà ricordato tra vent’anni da qualche ex adolescente brufoloso. Mentre il gioco di Lucignolo io me lo sono già dimenticato.

P.S. se avete partecipato in qualche modo alla realizzazione di questi.. prodotti, venitevi a scusare pubblicamente nei commenti (anche anonimamente va bene!).

Microsoft SideWinder gaming mouse

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Microsoft SideWinder gaming mouse

If you’re serious about your gaming, you would definitely make an allowance for the Microsoft SideWinder gaming mouse to stake its place in your collection of gaming peripherals. Features include on-the-fly DPI switching that works great for in-game tweaking, a quick launch Vista gaming button, five programmable buttons, 2,000 DPI resolution, and a trio of mouse feet for you to choose from. Depending on your preference, the SideWinder will be able to have its weight adjusted between 5 and 30 grams for that perfect frag moment. Gamers will also be thrilled to see that the SideWinder comes with a cable anchor and its own LCD display. It will be released this October for $79.95 - which isn’t that unreasonable actually.

New Track & Field on DS

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

The Konami press conference at the Leipzig Games Conference has elucidated an impressive feature list for the recently revealed DS title New International Track & Field. The game is a celebration of 25 years since the first version was released as an arcade game. Not only will the new version include over 20 different athletic events, but there will be unlockable Konami characters to play as. The first two such characters to be announced are Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 and Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures.

All the new characters for the game are being designed by Udon Entertainment and the final title will include extensive online features, including 4-player matches either locally or via Wi-Fi, downloadable content, online rankings, leader boards and detailed player profiles. The game will also include a ticker ‘news feed,’ which promises to update anyone playing online whenever any world records are broken via a news ticker across the screen.

We’ve embedded an ad for the game after the break. If you’re sitting in a quiet office, note that it’s filled with grunting and screeching.

Si vocifera dell’esistenza di un emulatore di Nintendo DS che gira su PSP =:-||

[UPDATE] Testato un poco, è lento come la morte (per usare un eufemismo), lo sviluppatore poi non ha ancora chiarito come risolverà cose come il Dual-Display e il Touch-Screen, time will tell… per il momento se volte un DS compratevi un DS \m/
