Do you want to be a greek god in a game?

Afbeelding
Genesis of the Gods (PC) from Enter The Story Auditioning for gods and goddesses Enter The Story needs photos of ordinary people to use as gods and goddesses in the next game: Genesis of the Gods. Anyone can send in a photo. Still to be assigned: Zeus, Athena, Cratos, Persephone, Ares, Apollo, Hera, and 43 others. No purchase necessary. You don't need to be a gamer. You don't need to dress up - even a single face shot will do. Genesis of the Gods is based on Hesiod's Theogony (the original Greek creation myth). Anyone who sends in a photo and passes the simple rules (mainly to ensure they own the photo and agree to its use) will be guaranteed to become a character in the game. The best fifty photos will become gods or goddesses, others will be used in later stories. Submitters can influence the decision in their favor - see details below. The developer's decision is final. This is a unique chance to become immortal (in a game at least!) Full details, examples, and where

Een 3D-tekening, van het pas gelanceerde PlayStationspel Uncharted 2 wordt zo in de kijker geplaatst. Het hoofdpersonage van het avonturenspel voor PS3 wordt afgebeeld in een spannende scène.

Overlijdensbericht Patrick Vyncke

Afbeelding
Diep bedroefd zijn wij, dat veel te vroeg, vol met plannen en idealen, onverwacht op 19 oktober 2009 Patrick Vyncke is overleden. Hij is maar 51 jaar geworden. Patrick was Managing Director Sony Computer Entertainment Benelux en voor velen onder ons Mr. PlayStation. Wij zullen zijn altijd sprankelende, vrolijke en open persoonlijkheid bijzonder gaan missen. Patrick startte bij PlayStation in 1998 na een succesvolle lange carrière bij Sony Electronics. Iedereen die met hem heeft samengewerkt binnen en buiten het bedrijf zal hem herinneren als de opgewekte doorzetter met een no-nonsense visie. Aztek-TV wenst vrienden en kennissen van Patrick veel sterkte bij dit verlies. In het bijzonder gaan onze gedachten en medeleven uit naar zijn vrouw, kinderen en overige naaste familie.

Slabovia spills Guts

Last Communist state in Europe announces First iPhone title Slabovia, the last communist dictatorship in Europe, has announced details of its first state-mandated iPhone title. GUTS employs cutting-edge 8-bit game design principles to reconstruct the miraculous story of a desperate medical mission to save General Schmerdiakov, Slabovia’s cruel yet loveable dictator. Taking the form of 11 levels, each taking place in a different part of the general’s body, GUTS re-tells the spectacular success of two Slabovian citizens shrunk to microscopic size in order to combat The General’s wide range of ailments from within – largely owing to unhealthy living and extreme old age. Players take the role of Kierky and Neitzche as they fantastically voyage through organs and blood vessels to save Slabovia’s glorious leader. Designed and created in cooperation with Tag Games, a first for the state of Slabovia, GUTS will also feature a rousing 8-bit soundtrack from reknowned producer and DJ Si Begg (i

BG-AC5003 - The Mooseketeer Club led by Marvin Moose (5) The rules for Atomic Cafe 1957, written by our good friends at Rattrap Productions, will be available in early November, debuting at Fall In in Gettysburg.
