The site features wallpapers, screenshots, concept art, a story synopsis, and some confusing forums that seem to be completely in German until you click on them. All of this, along with the most relaxing background music that's ever graced a flash website. Seriously, I've had this opened in the background all morning and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was having such a pleasant Friday morning. Hit up the link below to check out the site, and be sure to check out the press section for a tiny preview of the article I wrote on the game back in February.

Australian machinima artist, Thuyen Nguyen, has put together this terrific little piece called The Most Powerful Person In The World that he refers to as "a love letter to video games." Tired of the negative representation of video games in the media recently, Nguyen decided to create his own counterpoint in the form of this four minute video. Accompanied by a soothing soundtrack by Lackluster, Nguyen manages to compile all his game footage in a manner that recalls something you might see at a high end art museum show on the medium of gaming. Great stuff and well worth a viewing or two. Flynn De Marco
