Not everyone is dying to get their hands dirty killing evil creatures from Diablo 3, some of us want that, and want also some heavy fine scrolling shooting. Released a couple of months ago Sine Mora is one of …

Days, weeks… hopefully not months… June sounds like an ideal release date… but nothing is officially official as of today. We’re genuinely excited for the upcoming PSN game which was originally announced at last year’s E3. Since then …
Lone Survivor
It doesn’t have to look pixelated and have an “indie” label on it to look good these days, just add an adobe photoshop filter to your whole game concept art (in this case Patchwork) and you’re set!. Although… in …
↓ Sifteo
Maybe not the most attractive name for a new gaming system but who said iPod, PSVita or WiiU are?
In any case here’s a new option for your free time or for your kid’s time. Based on a MIT Media Lab technology (remember Zigelbaum + Coelho’s 6-40×4-80 light cubes also out of the MIT lab?) … the Sifteo Cubes.
These cubes presented @ last CES and also during SXSW are basically 1.5-inch blocks with full-color screens that respond to motion and start interacting with the player and each other, as soon as they are picked up and moved around.
the pack should come with 3 blocks for $149
Ahhhh if Tamagochi inventors had developed their original ideas much further…. (these probably already exist in Japan, the MIT just picked & developed an old hidden idea ….).
The blocks come in sets of three although the real fun (and if you were to play with several people) is using up to six for a single game.
To allow all this “magic” happen each cube comes with an embedded 3 axis motion-sensing accelerometer & a wireless communicator (with your computer, which has to be turned on simultaneously and run their “Siftrunner” software to coordinate & synchronize), too bad their displays are no touchscreens!
or you can buy them separately @ $45 each... not too fun alone
You can appreciate some games on the video & on their page, but with the help of you intelligent developers we’re pretty sure that like with any other open platform it could really explode (hopefully), and then, we could be talking about another alternative gaming platform!! Apple taking note?
