The Ultimate In Horseriding Simulation

Got $10,000 handy? Love horse-riding? Hate horses? Well is this the deal for you. This is the Ridemaster, perhaps the most overblown horse-riding adventure we've seen this side of Barbie Horse Adventures. For your 10gs you get a fake horse (which is full of sensors, so you can kick it for being stubborn) and a TV display, but sadly, no jodpers. You'll have to get those on your own. Vid's after the link, for anyone who enjoyed watching Flynn ride a witch's broomstick and wants to see it taken to the next level.

Teaching Aid: Communicating with Iraqi Citizens

The BBC reports that the U.S. is funding a computer game that will aid soldiers in the deciphering of Iraqi body language to ease tense situations. From the piece: "The program teaches military personnel some key gestures such as an up-down movement with the right hand to ask someone to slow down and gives them tips such as removing mirror sunglasses when approaching local people." This doesn't actually sound like a very fun "game." "Right-click 'Remove Sunglasses.'" "Click 'Extend Hand.'" More »

Sims Coming Sooner to PSP

The red phone in the Kotaku office just lit up and EA let us know that their insanely popular Sims 2 was shipping a week ahead of schedule for Sony's handheld. Now instead of Dec. 13, the realish-life simulator ships Dec. 7 (omg next week!). It is a little disheartening that one of the biggest PSP titles of the holiday season is one of the biggest PC games - from last year.

Forget Madden, EA Wants You to Coach

EA Sports is readying a thinking man's football game in NFL Head Coach, a new strategy football title slated for release this spring. The game puts players in charge of building a football team from ground level, and involves creating a successful franchise from the sidelines. In their quest for realism, hopefully EA includes a "sleep at the office" function, along with a "getting nagged by your wife to spend more time at home" feature and a "you've missed out on your children's childhood" mini-game. EA Sports, it's in the game, right? More »
