Twetris

Here’s something for your Friday. From the people that brought you Billie Tweets, comes Tweet Bricks the game where you can play Tetris with your Twitter data (or someone else’s). Click the pictures to have a go.

It could look a little more beautiful, but it’s a great idea. Here’s what it looks like with my tweets…

…don’t worry, I’m not actually that bad at Tetris, beautifully clear playfields don’t make great screenshots you see.

From 9 Astronauts, who ironically, don’t seem to actually tweet themselves…




Google plays Pacman

It’s a gaming icon’s 30th anniversary as well as Friday afternoon, so Google reckon you should be playing Pacman. Yes, you can actually play Pacman in their logo- click it! Genius.

Thanks to Willem for the link. If you like this, check out Defender Of The Favicon

Mobile Monkey

Please forgive me while I indulge my geek and nostalgia genes simultaneously – it is Friday after all.

Monkey Island has made it to the iPhone ::iTunes Link:: and not just any old Monkey Island, the new Special Edition which landed on PC and xBox360(shudder) last weekend. The game contains the original VGA-tastic version as well as a new improved graphic incarnation (HD on the other formats, slightly less impressive on the iPhone). The new version has a new voiceover track and you can flip between past and present with a swipe gesture at any time. Here’s to many more LucasArts titles on the App Store and to a graphic adventure renaissance!

If you haven’t ever played Monkey Island, it’s an offbeat adventure of piratey proportions. A genuine classic game from the early 90′s with excellent writing and atmospheric gameplay. They really don’t make them like this anymore and now it’s had a new lick of pixelly paint…

If you don’t have an iPhone, you can get the new Special Edition on your dirty PC via Steam or your filthy xBox through XBLA. If you don’t have an iPhone, PC or xBox, check out ScummVM, which lets you play all the old LucasArts adventures on almost any platform. And don’t forget Telltale Games’ new episodic Monkey Island series Tales of Monkey Island…

The iPhone is really starting to come into its own as a bona fide gaming platform, notable recent additions to the App Store with a retro flavour also include Peggle, Worms and Wolfenstein 3D. Doom can’t be far away.

All highly recommended to take the edge of travel on the London Underground network…
