I’m not exactly sure what to think of this bulky contraption that allows you to play your favorite motion sensing games on your computer. There must be a benefit to that somewhere though, right? Dubbed the Nintendo Wii PC, it’s actually a Wii built into a custom PC. Specs can be found at its eBay [...]

Ten Kinds Of Awesome

At Gamasutra we've been running a series of interviews, conducted by my colleague Patrick Murphy, with the indie developers whose games are in this year's IGF. They're always fun to read -- mostly young unpretentious types who are entertaining and really having a good time with their development projects. I haven't gotten to check out nearly as many of the entrants as I would have liked, but today, when I was editing the interview done with One Ton Ghost, I just had to go and check out their Best Web Browser Game nominee Iron Dukes.

You've got to pick and outfit your ship's crew, and all the members have got silly names and improbable equipment. Plus, they're all amusingly ugly.
