Today on Offworld

By Brandon Boyer at 6:34 pm Thursday, Jan 15

Today on Offworld we saw two Resident Evil revivals with both an Umbrella Umbrella and a mod team's attempt to recreate the whole of Raccoon City inside Valve's Left 4 Dead. We also saw a new iPhone game/app that lets you solve or incite a lover's quarrel musically, and pondered Minotaur China Shop creator Flashbang's newest game, based on its rhythmic-squid inspiration. Elsewhere we banked with Space Invaders, saw the Dude-a-Day dude abiding with games related dudes, picked our way through a fantastic set of 8-bit inspired pixel fonts, and saw how Guitar Hero 1.0 would have fared in the text-adventure era. Finally, we saw Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto and Will Wright's Spore honored by none other than the Jim Henson Company, listened to an unofficial but officially sanctioned Fallout 3 soundtrack, and got early word that Leonard Nimoy-voiced Dreamcast sim Seaman might be hitting the DS, as its iPhone related spin-off gets rejected by Apple.
