Lego Indiana Jones The Flash Game

Hungry for some Lego Indiana Jones action but don't want to wait for the console game to come out? Head over to Lego.com and try out the new Lego Indiana Jones flash game! Developed by advergaming company Three Melons, the game features Indy on the run from a giant killer boulder after the classic idol-swapping scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. While you don't control Indy directly, you do click on flashing obstacles to get him to duck, whip, and jump his way towards the temple exit, collecting treasures with your mouse pointer along the way. Filled with secrets and hidden areas to discover, it's an excellent way to look busy as you wait for the week to officially end.

My Second Life Car is a Scion

Toyota launched two new models of their 'trendy' Scion line automobiles yesterday at both the Chicago Auto Show and within the flying penis covered wilderness of Second Life. They held simultaneous press conferences to introduce the newly redesigned xB and the brand new xD Scion models. Money makes the virtual world go round, so now users can buy virtual for virtual money in 'Scion City', and then customize them with all different kinds of accessories. I expect to see some very interesting gearshifts in the near future. More »

Sneak King? Sneak King?! Sneeaaaaak King!!!

Say what you want about "advergaming", but personally, I'm 100% on board with four dollar Xbox 360 games featuring the Burger King. One look at this Sneak King trailer and I think you'll agree that camping out for the third time in a month for games does not sound totally irrational. Michael McWhertor More »

Subverting Advergaming

The New York TImes' Rob Walker put together a very interesting story that looks at subversive, anti-advergames. Yes, I know, that doesn't sound like that could be interesting, but Walker found a law professor who is writing a paper about people who subvert the messages of advertising to make them into negative messages. Fordham University law professor Sonia Katyal calls it semiotic disobedience. More »

The Hills Have Eyes Promo Game

Why Hollywood feels it necessary to recreate The Hills Have Eyes is beyond me, but I suppose it is inevitable. The website to promote the movie has a flash game that delivers the sort of sub par, flat experience I fully expect the movie to bask in. Check it out if you want a taste of what the movie has in store for you: no plot and endless roaming through darkened tunnels punctuated by the occasional scare. More »
