Whilst checking out IGN.com on the latest gaming reviews for my 360 I stumbled across some very cool Kinect hack videos. This one features Predator style camouflage! Whats not to like right?!
The future of gaming looks very bright indeed.

Retro Computer Game Art
So it's a Tuesday night and I'm doing everything I can to divert thoughts away from the daily grind currently being experienced over at the Big British Castle (it's a long and very mundane story, suffice to say I have some good jobs on at the moment but also a few rubbish ones); anyways, I decided to revisit my geek riddled youth and wasted days in front of television, tape player, 48k Sinclair Spectrum and what I perceived at the time to be state of the art cutting edge game play.
Obviously you can find pretty much anything online now so my train of thought turned sharply towards the game companies of the time and all the free stuff I used to get from them just by writing to them (letter of course), saying I was a fan of game X or game Y. Two weeks later I'd get a package in the post containing all sort of lovely poster art for new or existing games to put on my bedroom wall. A company called Ocean Software used to be one of the better companies to do this, as were US Gold.
My search for such poster art drew a blank, even on the mighty Google however I did stumble across a site called Bear Graphics and in particular this homage to an Atari 2600 cartridge box art (complete with hand written 'Instructions Missing' note found on all second hand packaging). This iteration though features the relatively modern movie title 'Cloverfield'.

Star Wars Augmented Reality Tie-Fighter Game
I predict this to be the the most downloaded game for the rest of the year on iPhone. Can't wait to shoot Tie-Fighters from the top of Greenwich park looking out over the river and Canary Wharf.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Been a while since my last post, mainly due to man-cold issues and an insane workload. Anyway, taking my mind of it by trying to get back into some gaming. Gran Turismo 5 is an essential purchase in the next few weeks, as is this game, Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Looks great and should provide more than a few intense online multiplayer nerd hours just like Modern Warfare 2 did.
