Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the WORLD'S FIRST massively multi-player online sports game. Thats right- real time action, real hitting, real slides and real catches...all being controlled by different people scattered across the globe. I had a chance to hit a few questions back and forth with Sean Mackay, event manager for UBO, about their latest release - version 7. Grab your hotdogs and get ready to hi-five with our neighboring continents- you have to check out and PLAY Ultimate Baseball Online.

GDC '07: Penny Arcade the Video Game!

Laura — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 21:04:00 GMT

Hothead Games and Penny Arcade teamed up to create the first ever videogame based on the much loved comic strip. The first game is entitled Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The game will be released in episodic format, delivering new installments of the adventure to Penny Arcade fans every few months. I grabbed Jerry from Penny Arcade and Joel from HotHead games at GDC this year to get some more info about the game straight from the horses mouth :)

And if you've seen my last interview with Penny Arcade, sometimes getting a straight answer from these guys is not as easy as you'd imagine.

TechFest '07: Boku : Video Games that teach you how to program!

Laura — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 19:47:00 GMT

Boku is currently in pre beta stage but it's still incredibly impressive. It's a video game designed to teach children how to program. It runs off an xbox 360 controller and has adorable animations to keep the kids interested- but it teaches REAL programming from coding to debugging. The goal is to attract kids as young as 5 years old by exciting them about the concept and emotional experience of programming. If you have a kid (or perhaps are at the coding level of one) you're going to want to check out Boku!
