One-Off

One-Off is the latest escape-the-room creation by the Gotmail team. This time your task is to get a beautiful blue motorcycle out from the garage where it's kept. The motorcycle is locked, and so is the door to the garage. In order to open them, you'll have to search the garage for gadgets and clues and combine those with the environment at the appropiate places.

Sony Says PSP UMD Is Misunderstood

post from Igniq.com Gaming News on 20 July 2006 09:30:00 PM. © Igniq.com Gaming News

PSP
The writing might be on the wall, but that doesn?t mean Sony has seen it yet. The entertainment giant has plans to continue backing its UMD format for the PSP even if retailers and movie studios won?t.

In a United Press International interview, Peter Dille, senior VP of marketing of Sony Computer Entertainment America, defended the technology and said it has, to date, been largely misunderstood by studios. The product, he said, is targeted. ?We are committed to helping the studios better understand our product and our consumer, and will continue to educate them as we evolve and enhance the functionality of the PSP," said Dille.

Dille?s defense of the UMD technology comes on the heels of Target pulling the UMD format from its shelves. Other major US retailers have been considering doing the same and some major studios have also cut back on their support for the UMD format. This, of course, had lead many to conclude the UMD format is dead or at the very least dying.

While it?s true UMD technology is very niche and the movie titles chosen for production in the format should be targeted as well, it doesn?t seem likely Sony will manage to pull this one out of the grave. It?s hard to imagine major studios continuing to support the effort when they can get better results from other formats like the DVD and even downloadable movies.

But, Sony?s been known to pull off some amazing things and the company is, if nothing else, committed to creating and supporting new technology. It even admits its mistakes every now and again and actually apologizes for them.

The Weekly Geek: Little gamer kids are jerks

post from Video Game Blog & Video Game Forums @ Destructoid on 20 July 2006 08:48:07 PM. © Video Game Blog & Video Game Forums @ Destructoid

A small child with a haircut that looked more like a lawnmowing accident came up to me and queried: “Do you have an XBOX 360?”.“No.” I said, and politely proceeded to look at the PSP selection.“I do,” spouted the small child-thing, “actually… my uncle does… but I play it and it has AWESOME GRAPHICS.”“Okay.” I [...]

Mario finally gets busy in Son of a Peach!

post from Video Game Blog & Video Game Forums @ Destructoid on 20 July 2006 08:01:28 PM. © Video Game Blog & Video Game Forums @ Destructoid

Ever wondered why Bowser wanted Princess Peach all to himself? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the old lady cuts right to the chase! I never took Peach to be a chickenhead, but in this NewGrounds rip she does not hesitate to have premarital sex with Mario, [...]
