One part futuristic gang movie, one part tribute to Konami's hot-stepping rhythm game Dance Dance Revolution, The FP is a movie that's goofy and gritty enough to make it a must-see. More »

Customized everything is all the rage these days as evidenced by the sweet Wii mod posted earlier. The South by South West festival has used this to their advantage and gotten celebs to do their painting magic on some Guitar Hero guitars. The custom controllers will be put up for auction in April with proceeds going to the charitable MusiCares Foundation. Among the luminaries to grace the GH controllers with their talent are Jack Black, My Chemical Romance, Tony Hawk, Dashboard Confessional, The Spill Canvas, The Rocket Summer (their offering is pictured here) and many more. You can check out a couple more shots of this guitar and the one made by the Spill Canvas here. Flynn De Marco More »

I just got out of Will Wright's keynote here at SXSW in Austin; a packed ballroom, a gobsmacked crowd. We got a Spore demo - an on-the-fly, operated by Will Wright demo - during which we got to see Spore from tiny slug to entire galaxy. We saw a player-generated facsimile of the Star Trek Enterprise scoot about the universe, planting monoliths, dropping in on planets, creating ozone layers and greenhouse gases and planet meltdown. We skipped through star clusters, and watched stars form, visiting player-inhabited stars of neighbouring space. More »
