Limbo Xbox 360

admin — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:30:54 +0000

Using a black and white colour scheme, along with some skilful vignetting and light bloom, the game’s visual aesthetic is nothing short of beautiful. Limbo not only satisfies in the graphics department, the gameplay also stands up well to any other downloadable game. It [...]

With letters A-Z and digits 0-9, Metalvetica can make a statement— Big time. Metalvetica art forms are chunky blocks of metal about 35 cm high and 8 cm thick. Like the sans serif font they parody, they are amazingly adaptable. Think: organic meets geometric. Aluminium from the ancient earth is wrought into contemporary straight-edged sculpture. [...]

Camera Phone Lenses

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:00:30 +0000

Anyone who has ever shot video on an iPhone has wished for this gadget or something like it. We’ve all been there, trying to take that shot in landscape mode, our hands shaking the more we concentrated on being still, and then that one rebellious finger suddenly covers the lens and ruins the shot.
