When you think of video games, you think of adrenaline-pumping first-person-shooters. You think of blazing-fast racing games. You think of hard-fisted fighting games. Chess games? You probably don't think of them, these days.
That is going to change. Meet Pure Chess. The trailer, one of the best I've seen in a long time, features beautiful pieces, modern decor, and soothing music as well as historic chess pieces, such as the Lewis chessmen.
It's not sexy. It's not exciting. It's stunning.
Developed by VooFoo Studios of Hustle Kings fame, the game is slated for the PS Vita and the PS3.
