03-28-06 / 01:29 AM : SketchFighter : a sketch rendered shoot them up (cjed)
InsideMacGame presents SketchFighter, a game with a new concept. In this shoot them up, no 3D nor textures, only pure sketch style graphics. We can look at two videos to understand the interest in an animation manner. It is the same philosophy as in Renaissance movie... but far more mastered.

03-28-06 / 12:35 AM : Mac mini CoreDuo and games (cjed)
Ludomac provides a test of mac mini CoreDuo in a gaming perspective. For universal binary games the old powerbook G4 1,67 does close to two times better, with just one processor. For games played through Rosetta emulation it crashes or it is unplayable (it was expected however). By focusing on the integrated Intel video chipset responsible for the poor performances, we may hope Apple will not persevere for the next revision.

As reported Macbidouille, the site macaj.net, targeted to recent and past games, is back. We found here a link to a comprehensive test made by grospixels.com about the legendary game The Dark Eye : based upon novels from Edgar Poe, with musics from Thomas Dolby and a great traduction, this game (was out in 1996) was among my bests.
We can also take a look at The hot 100 games developers, a short presentation of famoust games creators.

03-06-06 / 09:31 PM : Apple article on Rhem2 / Agon (cjed)
Apple provides in its Games section an article about Rhem2, the famous Myst clone (to my point i was never impressed by graphics of first Rhem). However they also present Agon, another Myst like game, made by another company (Private Moon Studios), that looks far more better (reminds me the legendary Maupity Island on ST !) There is also some walkthrough, among them one for Myst V (i will be back on it as soon as i finish Doom 3 :)
