Seven Years ago : Eidos Interactive took on Midway

So while I dream of my new computer, I was curious about this title in a humble bundle.

Battlestations Midway. So let us have a look.

[few minutes later]

Yes. I played through the first two missions.

Unimaginative graphics. Lame controlls. Awful voice acting. Boring tasks. Strange lighting.

The boat level was actually something perhaps play worth. The air combat NOT.

Twitching humble bees and stylish cowboys

Today there was the first Humble Bundle Live Stream on Twitch. Some of the employees of the sympathetic media product selling company with a charity flair were sitting in front of a camera and played a really good looking western arcade action game, called Secret Ponchos.

Even one of the main devs was there giving some answers. I write about cause the game reaalllly looks good (in my taste at least) especially for an indie that is (since Sony is behind is WAS ?)! And cause the Humble Bundle Show was ... interesting.

Well some facts : The game developing crew is working in their cellars and decentralized, they are using Sony's House Engine PhyreEngine, their Lead Artist worked for Batman the Animated Movie, they have 3 full time artists and some freelancing, they nearly got bankrupt before Sony spotted them on this big games convention in 2013, they working on that jewel since 4 1/2 YEARS !!!

I can not say anything specific about the Humble Bundle work force. They seem to have decent offices !

Sleeping Dogs dont byte and dont watch - Who woke the dogs up ?

So I got myself the demo for Sleeping Dogs. On Steam.

I am not GTA !!!

First time I launched it it asked my things like Screen Brightness and UI Zoom Parameter. Very nice.

Then a stylish loading screen with a neat Chinese trip hop style beat pops up. First impression. Ok. Could be something. If only the Logo wouldn't be some kind of a GTA reminder, but well, lets have a look.

Yeah. OK. That's Chinese GTA style. Even the radar calls for GTA at once. But noooo...I haven't stolen any cars yet, I am only supposed to show some jerk where the boss is. OK. Let's GO.
