Been a while since I’ve done one of these, but it’s either that or a massive fucking rant about how shite Bionic Commando:Rearmed turned out to be, so I’ll choose the happy option anyday ;)

Uncle’s 3d Starstrike released - around 3 years in the making and although I’ve had a rough copy since Xmas (as have RR subscribers) it’s finally out in the wild. It’s also fucking fantastic. As I was pointing out in a thread on RR with regards to Blaster, my 3d shooter time line of importance goes Star Wars/Blaster/3d Starstrike/Fuck all/Rez. Needless to say, I’m a happy bunny with it. Must try for high scores when time allows.

Developing for PSN and for Windows, Linux and Mac - following on from the handy guide to XBLA development, Alex has bunged up further articles shedding some light on the trials of choosing your platform to develop for. Excellent stuff as usual.

Cliffski vs The Pirates - I love a story with a happy ending.

The State Of The Casual Games Industry 2008 - scary stuff really. “Tetris wouldn’t be released today in the casual games space unless it had a story mode about you working your way across the world looking for clues about your missing uncle one Tetris round at a time”

TIGS Demake Compo - if all goes well, I should have an entry. Providing I clear up a few RR compo loose ends in time.

The First Week Of Braid - stats, stats, stats and well deserved success.

Luc Bernard vs Destructoid - RLLMUK thread because The Goring is on fire.

Tutorials Are Hard - Ste Pickford once more on the subject of user friendliness. Vaguely related, I think Braid got it just about bang the fuck on.

Lithium Leaf - to remind myself that I really must add them to my link list of places I read. You should too.
