Anoth­er Jonathan Har­ris piece. This one fea­tures lush 3D graph­ics and touch interactions.

“Coup is a mod­er­ate­ly mul­ti­play­er game of high chival­ry, quar­rel­ing aris­toc­ra­cy, and grue­some back­stab­bing.” On of the games devel­oped as part of IPerG.

The lat­est game by Daniel Ben­mer­gul is exper­i­men­tal indeed. It’s par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ing to com­pare this game with pre­vi­ous efforts and see how mechan­ics have evolved and have been com­bined. True craftsmanship.

Simon Oliv­er’s upcom­ing game for the iPhone and iPod Touch looks like one of the first titles to ful­ly exploit the capa­bil­i­ties of the plat­form. High pro­duc­tion val­ues as well.

A news­pa­per piece on per­son­al infor­mat­ics. Huh. I guess this has hit the mainstream.
