Some people have too much time on their hands making a Lunar Lander ripoff but hey, it's cute. 😉

Pokemon Mini

2001-12-17

Nintendo just released the Pokemon Mini here in Japan. It's a little mini game system. It's about $40 and the games are about $10 each. It's got infrared communications so you can play with your friends, it's got a rumble pak and a shock sensor. The shock sensor is used in the games so for example if you are playing Pokemon and you are going to attack, you have 5 seconds to shake the thing as fast as you can to build up your power. Kind of cool idea.

Noriko Fujiwara's PS2 Game

2001-11-28

Noriko Fujiwara is one of the top models in Japan in several dramas and representative of several brands including J-Phone, more J-Phone pictures, Fuji Digital Cameras, Japan Airlines, this commerical always cracks me up. I guess I just find the dance funny.

If you're wondering if she's my *type* the answer would be no but it's hard to avoid her with her face appearing everywhere.

Peddle through Quake

2001-11-09

Buy me THIS RIGHT NOW!!! I **NEED** it 😉

Now they just need to figure out how to make it work with everyday applications. Maybe it could function as the scroll wheel on my mouse, just make it so I have to do at least 2 or 3 revolutions per line of scrolling and I'd be fit in no time.

Play Quake get paid

2001-11-08

Did you know you can make over $100,000 a year playing Quake!?!?! That's what I took out of this article. Although it's mostly about drug use and gaming I had no idea competition First Person Shooters was so big!

Rez

2001-11-07

Rez is the new game from United Game Artists, the group that brought us Space Channel 5

It's hard to tell if it's going to be any good. It appears to just be a shooter with cool graphics and rocking techno music. One strange thing, the PS2 version has an optional vibration pack which you can strap to your head, put in your pants or sit on, whatever, and *feel the beat*.

PDA Games

2001-11-07

Give a geek a PDA he'll make games. The lead programmer of Sacrifice had written 3D libraries for his Palm Pilot but now that some PDAs with some decent power and displays are out like the Compaq iPaq series there doing much more interesting stuff.

No One Lives Forever

2001-10-19

Has anybody played No One Lives Forever? It appears to have come out just after I left last year and the reviews are pretty positive. I was reading the postmortem on Gamasutra.com and it made me want to give it a try.

Tokyo Game Show

2001-10-12

I played hooky from school today and went to the Tokyo Game Show. The Japanese equivalent of E3. It's on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but unlike E3 it's open to the public which means it's full of screaming kids except for today because it's Friday so most kids are in school which is why I decided to go today. (Yes, I'm really actually Mojo Jojo in my spare time because since I have spare time then I can be Mojo Jojo)

To be honest there wasn't anything all that interesting which is usually the case at these kinds of shows, at least for me.

But to give a report, here's my impressions.
