The Beautiful Game is no longer football - it's The Unfinished Swan

I invite you to enjoy this demo for the jaw-droppingly wonderful game: The Unfinished Swan

I can't tell you the last time I felt a sheer lightness and joy watching a game demo, but this has a simplicity and beauty that left me wide-eyed and smiling. I've no idea where this is in the development cycle - their parent site says apparently due for March 2009, but that doesn't leave long... nor the platform they're intending this for (looks like could go on Wii nicely).

Anyways. I'm done writing. I'm going to watch it again.

Keep th' faith,

Madworld - Sega's game of (Manson) family values

Ye gods. This... This...

Well, this simply looks to be the most violent game ever made: MADWORLD

Madworld. Sweet shitting baby Jesus, but Sega have plunged their RSI-ridden mitts deep into one evil bastard bag of tricks and produced an ultra-violent, graphic horror-fest like no other. And, yes, yes, of course - the parent in me is HORRIFIED that this kind of thing is out there - it's another nail in the coffin of innocence; further signal of the end of civilisation as we know it; the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have swapped their reins for Wii nunchucks and we will all be playing Wii Tennis in HELL.

But there's a foul, comics-reading, Romero-loving, moloko-drinking part of me that sees this as the final coin in the slot that gets me off the fence and onto the sofa, via the purchase of a Wii. I mean who doesn't want to ram a signpost through a guy's head then fling him onto a wall of spikes? Huh? Huh? Who?

Enough! Stop!

You had me at Argh! Aieeee! Splurrghrrree! Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Keep th' faith,
