4D platformer - must be better than Blinx the Cat surely?

"The Unfinished Swan is the first-person painting game"

Sounds like something Miyamoto would come up with on the Wii.

Some of those sound great. All of Benmergui's I'd like to play and try but Achron probably appeals to me most.

Most of the these sound awsome, Achron sounds especially good, reading one of the games they played on their site only sold me more. From a post by Mike Resnick the AI dev:

However, in the present I acquired nukes and sent a nuke back to the end of the battle that destroyed his remaining fleet. Before it was over, he jumped back further in time, moved his mining base and undid his counter attack. Since his fleet had left the area and my army had conquered it, my nuclear blast from the future decimated my own forces! Right at that time, Konrad came at me with his forces, so I didn't have time to undo my nuclear blast.

Now if thats not awsome I need to check my awsome meter, Assuming it looks and runs well of course

I really like that weird storyteller game.

If i were some kind of pretentious art fag, i'd say that it makes an excellent visual statement on the influence of circumstance as an external driving force in our lives.

I'm not though.
