Wallace and Gromit Game Preview

Posted by Hemos on from the not-even-wensleydale dept.

MBCook writes "Gamers.com has a preview of the game based on the upcoming movie (due in 2005). The preview includes 10 screenshots and some descriptions of game play. The game is expected to be released by the end of the year for the PS2 and the X-Box. The player controls Gromit in an attempt to stop Feathers McGraw from using the inhabitants of the local zoo in his jewel smuggling operations. With levels, like in Sly Cooper, that are designed to be more than a 2D platformer on rails, this looks like a game to look forward to." I've got patent pending on that!

    Imagine if you could run Linux on a cheap $75-100 machine like that. Poor programmers in India would all be able to afford machines rather than the rich lot right now. That would be quite the revolution. The interesting story is cheap programmable processing power rather than just TIVO++

    Is it only me that morns the demise of 2D games? 2D platform games and "shoot-em-ups" rocked, and with more powerful computers these days I'm sure that amazing things could be done with them.

    Does anyone know of some good 2D shoot-em-ups or platform games that have been released within the last few years?

    We used this word to describe some of the morally loose teenaged girls that one of our friends used to have an affinity for.

    Definition?

    Small hole, easy to poke.

    Usage?

    CowboyNeal is a fucking grommet.
