Video Games
The new and weird in the world of gaming. When you’re not wasting time online, there’s plenty of other digital entertainment out there to distract you.
The Best Buzz
-
Defender Of The Favicon
Tech Buzz The classic arcade game you can now play in a tiny favicon. Not recommended for people with bad vision or who hate staring at small spaceships as they attack a city. For the rest of us though, this is actually a fun little game.
-
Typing Ninja Hunter
Tech Buzz A more violent typing game than the adorable Type Racer, the Typing Ninja Hunter employs your word speed to fend off attacking ninjas. The early levels of this game are too easy for the average typist, but there's something so satisfying in hearing a groan of death each time you type a word.
-
Google’s Lively
Tech Buzz Google launches its own version of Second Life (though it requires Windows Vista/XP). Unlike Second Life, there's no one, unified world -- you create your own rooms, which can be embedded on your blog or tumblelog or whatever your into calling it these days -- so it can be lonely, just like real life.
-
Hedgehog Launch
Tech Buzz A mindless, fun Flash game perfect for wasting your last Friday hours. I'm not sure why you launch the hedgehog into the sky, but you do. The hedgehog just wants to make it into space.
-
Video: The Princess Bride Game
The 80's classic is now a downloadable game, featuring the voices of original stars Robin Wright Penn, Wallace Shawn, and Mandy Patinkin!
-
Spore Porn
Tech Buzz The making of vaguely pornographic Spore characters -- yes, Goatse was only the tip of the iceberg -- is being banned by EA. From release to porn in less than 48 hours! If you're curious, best be checking these videos out soon, before they're all pulled down (and new ones go up in their place). EA says, "Whether it's modeling clay, dolls or crayons, a small number of people can be counted on to use it for something inappropriate." So true!
-
Puzzle Farter
Tech Buzz The rudest-sounding Flash game ever. Navigate your way through treacherous mazes, powered by...gas.
-
Video: Goatse In Spore
One the most disgusting images on the web gets turned into a Spore creature.
-
Rock Band Bands
Tech Buzz Have you formed a band around Rock Band yet? Garage bands are so over. It's a new era, and that means you don't need to actually write or make the music yourself, you just need to look good playing the video game.
-
Liberty City vs NYC
Culture Buzz A Flickr photoset juxtaposing screens from GTA IV's Liberty city with shots of New York City includes many accurate and crazy details. For more ways in which GTA IV resembles real life, be sure to read this article about dating advice according to Grand Theft Auto.
-
Mario Kart Wii
Tech Buzz The a new version of the classic game goes to the Wii, gamers rejoice. As Mario would put it, "Mario Kart, Wii! Woohoo!!" In the running for best feature: Networked racing against your friends (or complete strangers, if that's how you roll), with the ability to find their current game and join it.
-
Grand Theft Auto IV Cameos
Tech Buzz Ricky Gervais will be doing three minutes of new material; Karl Lagerfield will also make an appearance in the video game. Well, that's all we know so far, which seems kind of random, but as we near the release date of April 29th, we'll probably find out more. In the meantime, read the first official review of the game.
-
Cooking Video Games
Food Buzz Nintendo Wii is releasing a cooking game that's like a virtual Iron Chef. Gordon Ramsay has his own online game, complete with bleeps. Pixelated food will undoubtedly taste than our actual cooking.
-
Guitar Hero: On Tour
Tech Buzz You can play Guitar Hero on the go this summer when it comes to the Nintendo DS, complete with a portable little fingerboard contraption called the Guitar Grip. It is kind of like being on tour! Except without all the fun parts, like the drugs and the groupies.
-
Second Skin
Movie Buzz A new documentary that explores the world of MMO games - and the people who play them - debuts this week at SXSW. Gamer addicts, online love, goldfarming and more! Second Skin bills itself as "an intimate look at people whose lives have become transformed by the virtual worlds in online games such as World of Warcraft, Everquest and Second Life."
-
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Tech Buzz An amazing interactive drawing game. The goal of each level is deceptively simple: Make the ball move in a way that it touches the star. How you make it happen is wide open (best just to see the video trailer).
-
ForumWarz
Tech Buzz A new web-based role-playing game that mercilessly parodies Internet culture (including Instant Messaging, Google, avatars, message board fights, emo kids, memes, bad poetry, LOLspeak, Scientology, Cory Doctorow and, of course, Trapped In The Closet). An enigmatic, counter cultural product of Web 2.0, ForumWarz begs one crucial question: Where's the BuzzFeed level?
-
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Tech Buzz The next edition of Guitar Hero is going to be all-Aerosmith, all the time. You'll have to listen to a lot of Stephen Tyler, but you'll get to play a lot Joe Perry.
-
Guitar Rising
Tech Buzz Guitar Rising is a music video game where the player plays a real guitar as cued by the game's visuals. It's like Guitar Hero for people who actually want to learn how to play guitar. For those of you who feel like you're so over Guitar Hero, there's a new addiction on the horizon. People without game consoles will be happy to know this game will be made for both the Mac and the PC and include a USB connection for hookup to any guitar. The game is already gathering buzz at conferences, but isn't due until late 2008, which gives you plenty of time to bid on that '62 Fender Jaguar you've always wanted.
-
Boom Blox
Tech Buzz Stephen Spielberg finally deigns to make a video game. And it's for the Wii! Though the game won't be available until May, the trailer has just been released to much online buzz. It looks like an explosive version of Jenga.
