The guys at varSTUDIOS just released new game at Crazy Monkey Games. Neon puts a new twist on the classic Asteroids game by adding a multitude of enemies and some cool powerups. The game is very well designed and uses some of the new Flash 8 features quite nicely.
Neon was just release several days ago and is already climbing our charts.
Great job guys!

Paul Robertson just released Pirate Baby’s Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006, an amazing animation with the style of an action packed side scrollling platform game. The twelve minute animation feels like a game that you can actually play, but unfortunately you have to just sit there with thumbs twitching. 73Mb file.

During my time at GDC last month I got a chance to play Guitar Hero at one of the exhibitor booths. Every day since then I struggled with myself not to go out and buy the game. Unfortunately I broke down a couple weeks ago and bought the damn thing. Needless to say I’m now addicted to the game and can’t wait to get home every day to rock the F*#! out.
Then today I was looking for some entertainment during lunch and stumbled upon a little treat of a site called Guitar Shred Show. It’s a superbly built Flash site that pits you as Mr. Fastfinger, the guitar Zen master. The site surprisingly fills the internal rocker in me with just a little bit of keyboard mashing. Now when I’m away from my plastic axe I can just rock out with Mr. Flashfinger.

Our friends at Jamungo have recently launched a new limited series line of vinyl toys called BlowUpDolls. The characters are sweet, but the short animation for the BUDs really kicks ass!

I’ve seen a lot of origami art, but this type of paper art takes things to a whole new level. Each piece starts with an 8.5″x11″ piece of paper and what they end up with is beyond belief. The site is in Korean, but the pictures speak for themselves.
