Fable 2: Best pub sign ever

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Well, we’ve been rather looking forward to this game ever since we found out about the pet dog. And then there was the lovely sunset screenshot that all looked rather spiffing. But all those things are looking set to be eclipsed by the magnificence of this town pub:

Introducing…

The Cow and Corset!

Truth be told, I’m not certain whether it’s amazing or slightly alarming in the same way that the Orangina advert with the erotically dancing deer and octopus was.

In other news, Fable 2 also offically has slightly scary monsters…

…so I’ll be sticking to the towns and playing with my dog, thanks!

ColourThis Round #19 Commences!

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Round #19 of our pixel challenge, ColourThis, kicks off today. The rules are simple - you are provided with an outline and all you have to do is colour it, making anything you like out of it. The more creative and original the design the better, and the winner is chosen for the creativity of their entry rather than their pixel skills.

The winner of the last round provides the outline and chooses the winner of the next.

This round’s outline is…

So download this image, rotate it, flip it, colour it in, and then submit it in this thread!

Last round was won by Nickenstien with his amazing Space Squid:

Spore: officially brillo!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Well, we’ve all had plenty of time to play with the Spore Creature Creator and determine that it is, as expected, completely brilliant.

Of course, there’s a limit to how long you can sit there making cute little critters when there’s no actual game to shove them into, before you get a bit bored.

But rest easy, there’s not long to go now until the thing’s finally out (5th of September, says Eurogamer) and we can start manipulating our creatures from primordial goo to galactic civilisation.

The trouble is, there’s always a danger that when you anticipate something too much, that it ends up being a smidge of a disappointment - after all, there’s no way that a game can possibly live up to fans’ wild speculations… or can it?

After all, Will Wright is not without a track record of pulling something completely amazing out of the bag. And he seems awfully nice too!

Anyhow, it would appear that Eurogamer can confirm that the game’s going to be a little bit special in their Hands On preview. And, more importantly, they confirm that Will Wright is lovely.
