Anyone remember the post about the Spore creatures? I barely do, however, I remember enough (and I can cheat and look through the archives) to be excited that there is a Spore Creature Creator demo on the official website. I shall download it and share my ugly little children with you so that we can all point and laugh. You can make your own if you visit the link here:

In an effort to get more people gaming on their phones, Sony Ericcson announced the new F305 to be released in September. Responding much like a Wii remote, the gaming action on the F305 will react to flicks of the wrist or wild arm swinging. The press release says the F305 can handle eight hours of gameplay, which I think is a croc of shit because in the same breath they also attempt an up-sell; offering buyers a back-up battery. First off, if I'm going to be sitting through eight hours of gameplay it won't be on that teeny-tiny little screen, but whateves...maybe I'll be stuck in the airport and wish I had one. Check out the press release here:

You can expect more in-game advertising after a study conducted by Nielsen BASES and Nielsen Games confirmed that in-game ads created an overall lift in consumer awareness. Great. Now the Burger King will be sneaking around in games I like to play. The Nielsen study surveyed 1,300 gaming participants by using IGA Worldwide (in-game advertising company) software to track information through special game disks. The information was collected, analyzed and now presented to you in this tidy article at GameDaily Biz.
