Games Convention in Leipzig isn't all about having fun, cosplaying, and trying out upcoming video games. There are also plenty of traumatic events going on as well, such as the poor folks at SouthPeak Games, who came to the show this morning to let people sample their fine DS lineup only to find that all of their DS systems had been stolen.

More probable is that this is some fan project that may or may not ever come to fruition. Anyone care to make further speculations? More »

The Independent Games Festival in SF is just around the corner and the site for the event is now showing a gargantuan list of 173 entries for the 2008 competition. I skimmed over the multi-page list until my eyes were crossing and i started running out of time and as always, there's some really great looking stuff as well as some craptacular ones. If you're haveing a lazy weekend and are looking for something to kill some time, head on over to the IGF website and check out some the entries. The list also includes links to the home sites of these games if you want to see any of them in more detail and some are even downloadable to try out. Anyone care to give some predictions? More »
