I like music visualizers. I’ve liked them since before there were music visualizers – since I first saw a component equalizer with LED level indicators. While all the fancy visualizers of today make the equalizer display look positively plebian, it does have one advantage – I can tell what it is reacting to.

People like to parade Kodu about as a wonderful introduction to programming, but to me that seems about as accurate as a magnetic alphabet set being called a wonderful introduction to literature. Sure, it’ll show you a couple of concepts necessary to proceed, but beyond that it’s just a toy. So, when Venatio Creo popped [...]

While the in-dash ratings made The Review [...]

Have you ever lived in a place where a technically neighboring town holds a fireworks display? One that isn’t so far off that you can’t see it all, but also isn’t close enough to really be impressive? That’s what Fireworks HD felt like to me. It’s a nice looking virtual fireworks display which gives you [...]

It’s a LED-style scrolling marquee, on your XBox 360. Plus, it’s got a clock! If only it rumbled it would take the trifecta!

Oh! What unfortunate timing! Arriving just after MicroSoft announces in-dash ratings, and with no central location for updates, this title becomes more than redundant. But wait – it’s the review channel, surely I can read my fellow gamers’ opinions and be better informed than by a mere number? Alas, no. The Review Channel is really [...]

Take one of three sharp-looking world maps. Add a layer of sunlight. Sprinkle with cities. Set time and observe.

Right. That’s it. It’s not funny anymore. Indeed, it’s debatable whether it was ever funny in the first place but c’mon, even as an advertorial for another game (Petank Party developers, I’m looking at you here) is there really any need for this?
