Old Guys
Peter Molyneux, the legendary game designer responsible for games like Populous, Theme Park and The Movies, has issued a warning to future games designers regarding the new motion sensing control pads - that gamers may be too lazy to use them!
In a speech made at this week’s big gaming event in Leipzig, the creator of [...]
Ken Wong Art Store
My favorite art guy, Ken Wong, has just built an online store where you can buy prints of his work. You’ll find some cool, twisted fairytale type stuff there, along with a lot of other recognizably “Ken” surreal goodness.
Bad Day L.A. Goes Gold
Good day for Bad Day LA:

Anti-American
Love it or hate it, people certainly have strong feelings about the demo. And, as you can see be some of the comments being made, they have pretty strong feelings about me personally. I guess that’s to be expected when a guy puts his name on top of everything he makes.
A couple of thoughts about [...]
Awful Day LA
What can I say…
Something Awful: The Internet Makes You Stupid
Just as Alice took existing material and showed a lack of creativity by dumbing down and “darkening” an already dark tale, Bad Day LA stubs its toe on the foundation laid by South Park. It has a simplistic style, it has politics, it has poop and [...]
Target: USA - The Fear Font!
Priceless.
Bad Day Airport
“The Airport” is one of the disasters in Bad Day LA. We included some nonsense about how the “food” is made, the baggage is searched, and the interrogation process is handled. It’s in the airport that the player acquires the smart-bomb weapon, a pair of nail clippers (The BDLA-9000).
I was going to comment on the [...]

GamesRadar -Bad Day LA Demo- Hands ON
Games Radar is running a hands-on review of the Bad Day LA Demo:
In Bad Day, we controlled the most unlikely of anti-heroes - a former movie producer named Anthony Williams who decided to chuck it all and live the carefree life of a homeless bum. Despite being a big-time Hollywood exec, our hero inexplicably speaks [...]
New Development Studio 上海
We’re building a new develoment team in Shanghai! Our first title will be an episodic game set in a dark, fairy tale universe. I can’t say much about it now, but I do want to put the word out that we’re searching for team members. If you’re an experienced programmer, artist, level designer, writer, musician, [...]
Bad Day Bird Flu
The premise for Bad Day LA came out of my frustration with the pervasive “fear culture” that has existed in the US since 9/11 (although, many would say that it reaches back much further than that). The idea is an old one: governments gain control and corporations gain profit when they use fear as a [...]
