Retro II & 2001: The Game
Print this Article | Help us keep RR online
Ok, I’ve had some stuff hanging round here I’ve been meaning to comment on - but due to various distractions not actually got round to covering them.
Luckily, there’s more blogs in the world than this one, so I can at least point you in the direction of Tim’s recent comments on Retro II by Cactus, a game which I’ve mean meaning to mention for a few weeks now. (And indeed, I made a post recently about one of Cactus other games Teds Wet Adventure meaning to lead into it, but ah well - Tim pretty much says everything I wanted to anyway, so go and have a gander).
Always a sucker for games that err on the surreal or bizarre side, for those who don’t venture over to the corner of the web that is Swith’s Blog then you’re probably blissfully unaware of what could possibly be the most noble project of the year. Not content with making 2001 a watchable film, Swith, with able assistance from a number of friends is in the process of putting together 2001:The GBA Game made up of a series of Ocean style mini-games based on scenes from the film. Its coming together fast and well and the monkey expressions alone worth keeping an eye out for.
And in completely unrelated news, Luke Haines new album “Off My Rocker At The Art School Bop” finally has a release date. More info over at his website. Luke Haines + Richard X production? Matron, don’t mind if I do 
Anyway, going to do some catching up tonight on other stuff I’ve not got round to mentioning, so until then - hold the front page!
