The Last Guardian

You might've seen the Last Guardian trailer on the E3 feeds, but I just found it.



Given the pathos of the first two games, I'm not sure I can face what might come at the end of something as cute and compelling as that seems. As per Penny Arcade today.

Greedy!

Does anyone mind if I bagsy the next Fi on 15th May? Wifebeta is going out that night, so I need to watch the childbetas.

If not, that's cool, I'll remote in.

While my guitar gently weeps...



(...when it hears me sing!)

This FiDay 1st May, treat yourself to an unforgetable experience!

No matter how hard you try!

Shock and Awe, that's what you'll be feeling when you hear my rendition of System of a Down's B.Y.O.B. ;)

"Game experience may differ from individual to individual"

This time, I wont forget the game discs!!

Please bring a 360 pad as well.

This is my bagsy

This is my bagsy. There are many like it but this one is mine. My bagsy is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my bagsy is useless. Without my bagsy I am useless. I must 'fi my bagsy true. Before FSM I swear this creed: my bagsy is next Friday, 17th April. So be it, until there is no more pizza. Amen.

Streaming Game Service

At GDC, a hitherto unknown start-up made an extraordinary claim: They have the technology to stream video games, on demand, to your PC, Mac or TV. I'm not talking about downloading the game when you want to play it, like an ethereal version of Steam, but actually getting the game graphics and sounds streamed to your device.

Yep, I know what you're thinking, because I laughed too. But check out the list of publishers behind this plan.

So far ten publishers have signed up to provide titles for OnLive. They include familiar names like Atari Interactive, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive Software and Warner Bros.
Now think about it. That's when I stopped laughing. If this works, it's going to change everything in the home gaming environment. It still feels like a pretty big IF. Rendering and streaming full HD video and gathering numerous split-second responses back must be a tall order.

Supposedly launching later this year, I'll be very interested to see what comes of this. It could be the end of that noisy, fragile dust magnet under your telly.
