Beware the Frog

There was a time when I wanted to make a blog about video games, and this is that blog. I’m not really posting anymore, so there’s no point in this, but I can’t quite bring myself to closing this blog.

E3 2008: Day 4

No video today, but some bits of information — and it’s the last day already? That was short. And mosly uneventful.

Spore has an endgame: the space phase doesn’t let you aimlessly roam the galaxy forever (although I’m sure you can if you really want to) but lasts fifteen to twenty hours, and has a fixed “twist ending.” Wanna bet the “twist” duplicates the end of Men in Black?

The LittleBigPlanet sackboys will lip-synch to voice chat (why don’t all games do that? it’s not that hard!) and Stephen Fry’s voice guides you through level creation. You wouldn’t think it was possible, but: nerdgasm++;

Now that Star Wars Galaxies is way beyond any kind of revival, the KOTOR MMO is officially confirmed, and it’s actually developed by Bioware. Which may or may not bode well for the introduction of a Mass Effect MMO after the trilogy ends.

De Blob has an iPhone version, available now and using 2D sprites, so it may not burn through the battery or boil the processor, but I have no idea how it plays so I’m not going to buy it until there’s a demo (or at least a video).
