Robot Unicor Attack

What can be cuter than an unicorn? I know the answer - a robot unicorn! This game has a simple concept: the unicorn runs and you can either make it jump or dash into big stars. It kind of resembles Canabalt, but it is way better, because in this one you can double jump and dash into stars. The background song goes very well with the overall pink magical atmosphere... Go, robot unicorn, chase your dreams!

+ rainbow robot unicorn, what's more to say?!

One Button Bob

There is an entire adventure going on in this game and all you need to do is press the left mouse button. You help Bob, a classic adventurer, get safely out of trouble. There are a couple of level types which are repeated throughout the game, but each time the challenge is bigger. The game is very fun and intuitive, as the only instructions are "click the left mouse button". The whole experience lasts for a short time, but it will put a smile on your face.

+ pixelated graphics
+ nice music
+ very good use of a single button

Record Tripping

Record Tripping is a wonderful and original game which begins with scratching a record. The first thing you'll do is listen to an "Alice in Wonderland" record and realise that you can make it go forward or backward simply by scrolling up or down. You can also slow it down by holding the left click. Soon, you can see that you actually have the ability to alter time itself and you use this power to play through 5 beautiful stages. The gameplay is innovative and perhaps the nicest thing about this game is the great artwork. Every little detail is photoshopped  carefully, making the game a pleasure to look at. The music is great too, considering the soundtrack comes from Gorrilaz, Spoon, Beck and Death Cab for Cutie. Overall, this game is strange, friendly and unexpectedly fresh and the world of Alice is the perfect setting for it.

+ new and very good concept

Rubble Trouble

This is a game about demolishing. You work for a demolition firm and every day you have to take down weird looking buildings. There are bombs, cannons, helicopters and many other thing at your disposal. Every level is a different challenge: sometimes you have limited bombs, other times you have to get some stranded guys off the building without hurting them. There are some levels which require perfect aiming, but most of them are simply fun. The game looks good, plays well and has a positive atmosphere.

GNILLEY

If you thought that the world of gaming is full of crazy things, it's just about to get crazier. GNILLEY is a game which won the prize for the most original game in the Global Game Jam 2010 competition. What it is all about, you might be wondering. Well, not much: you are a small human running around some place... YELLING at enemies, walls and who knows what else in order to advance in the game. Yes, you actually have to yell into the mic, as hard as you can and everyone will just freak out and die.

Gluey

Gluey is a cute little Bejeweled-like game. The blobs are trapped and you must free them by removing groups of three or more. The special thing about Gluey is the fact that it has physics. The blobs really act like gooey little things and they're very cute while doing so. There are a few special "items", but the game isn't hard. It could have had more levels, but we'll just have to hope for a sequel.

The Apple iPad

There have been rummors about an Apple Tablet for quite a while and now it's true. It is called iPad and it's preety impressive for a tablet. It has a 9.7 inch touchscreen, weighs 1.5 pounds and runs a 1GHz  Apple "A4" chip. The iPad can run all iPhone apps and it can also be used as a pretty fancy e-book reader. For the moment there is no Flash player, but surely it will be present in the next version.

I Remain

I Remain is an atmospheric point and click. The story is a usual one: you are one of the last human survivers of the zombie holocaust and you have to get out of the house really fast. The puzzles are logical, some of them pretty hard. There is a video walkthrough in case you don't know what to do next, but that won't happen very often. Good luck at running from those brain eating zombies!

iPhone 3GS disassembled

Ever wondered how your iPhone looks like on the inside? Now's your change to find out in this lovely stop motion film. You can see the iPhone being unboxed and then stripped to the last bit in a very Star Trek-like manner. What's even more amazing is that after the disassembly is over, a man comes and puts it back together. It actually works afterwards!

Nexus One ninja unboxing

Nexus One has only been out for a short time now, but almost everyone knows about it. There have been many unboxing videos, but Google has made the best one. It's a short stop motion movie about three curious ninjas who find a mysterious box sitting on the table. they chop  in into pieces and play with everything they find inside it. At the end, the only thing still standing is the Nexus. It's a very good animation and a cute and funny commercial.

Umbrella Adventure

Umbrella Adventure is a beautifully animated hand drawn platformer. You play as a cat-like creature whose family and cakes have been stolen mysteriously. All the elements of a good platformer have been used: jumping, grabbing ropes and hooks, wall jumping... The graphics are black and white, but the quality of the drawings helps create a wonderful atmosphere. Everything is very well polished and the game is also quite lengthy.

Mahru-Z - the slow waiter

You've all been there: you go to a restaurant and it takes ages to get the simple dish you asked for. Now those lazy waiters and cooks are totally replaceable by robots that act exactly the same. Meet Mahru-Z and his older (less evolved) brother, Mahru-M. They can get your order and even cook something (in case you ask for something similar to milk and toast). Being served by robots may seem like a nice idea, but once you see Mahru approaching you with the speed of a dead horse you'll lose your enthusiasm. Despite being so utterly slow, watching them try is very amusing.

Funny computer commercial

Back then when PCs were bulky and slow, the commercials for them were really funny. Take this one for example: it's about the Portable 2 Compaq PC. Because it was marvellous comparing it to another PC wouldn't have been fair. So it could only be compared to a fish. Now say, what would you choose between a 4MB old "Portable" or the fish, which, unfortunately, can't remember a thing?

HTPC - the stylish green computer

HTPC is a beautiful PC, made by Design Hara. It is small, stylish and even eco-friendly. The side pannels are handcrafted from special wood and the internal segments are connected through bolts and nuts, so that they can be recycled easier. Its creators claim that it uses three times less power than a normal PC. Its specs aren't bad either: it has an Intel Core2Duo processor, up to 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive.

World's biggers Disco Ball

I know disco balls are a thing of the '70s, but the largest one in the world deserves some attention. It has been conveniently placed in the City of Lights, Paris. It gives an impressive sight, especially during night time, when several spotlights  make it sparkle. Just to give you hint of how big this thing is: it has a diameter of 7.5 meters and it is made up of 1000 mirrors.

CL!CK - A LEGO short film

CL!CK is a very interesting short film about the birth of new ideas. It combines the LEGO world with the real world in a very imaginative way. The story is nice and captivating and very funny sometimes. A guy with a big moustache tries to invent a flying machine, but all his ideas fail. That until three LEGO cubes appear above his head and a whole world of ideas opens. I think this is the best LEGO movie to date.

How tough is a NES game?

Ever wondered what would happen to a NES game if you dropped it from the 3rd floor, soaked it alcohol or put it in the tumble dryer? This is your chance to find out! A nice geeky girl bought some old Mario games and put them through 8 tough tests. I feel sorry for those games, but fortunately it's been proven that NES games are some tough things.

Break dancing Robot

Robots can do almost everything, from solving Rubik's cube to cooking sophisticated dishes, but until now, none of them could break-dance. The little guy you can see here is called Manoi Go and it was created by a team of talented Japanese guys. They asked the help of professional dancers so that they could make the robot move more realistically. The result is amazing!

Super Mario 3 Stop Motion

Mario fans have made all sorts of video tributes to their childhood hero. This one is no exception. A talented guy started drawing backgrounds and cutting Mario and Bowser's minions out of paper. He put them together in a very cute stop motion animation.
