The outfit is a bit wannabe-goth, but the song is beautiful on every occasion. Kinda weird to see how close she is to the album version here, when you have seen her live this summer, twisting her classics and pushing them to new heights.Found via [Signalfarbegrau](http://www.signalfarbegrau.com/blog/2007/09/08/hyperballad/).[tags]music, björk, video[/tags]

Fable II: The Storification

Source: Flickr

Clearly, Fable II has to tell a story. Unfortunately, the designers are so intent on telling this story that everything else becomes secondary.

Fable II is the first game I finished after my vow to actually finish games I started playing. I thought it would be a good idea to write reviews of those games as well, as a way to analyse its strengths and weaknesses, as well as strengthening my own analytical eye.

Fable II is one of the games my...

Local Game Designers Zürich

Eigentlich bloss ein kurzer Reminder, weil man das ja sowieso eigentlich kennen müsste, wenn man Game Designer im Raum Zürich ist: Das ursprünglich wöchentliche Treffen ist inzwischen monatlich, jeweils am ersten Donnerstag des Monats – erstmals am 6. Oktober um 19 Uhr an der ZHdK (Ausstellungsstrasse 60) im Raum Sq 509 (fünfter Stock, offensichtlich).

Ein Besuch lohnt sich immer: sei...

Would You Kindly? Playing Irrational Games' Bioshock

Source: Flickr

The praise that Bioshock has received from other critics is – after having played through the game – definitely well earned. Even though I'm usually not exactly a very good FPS player, I managed to get through the whole game. And it definitely was worth it. The world building in Bioshock is excellent, be its embedment into the historical background, or the rich story that shines through at every corner, or finally the beautifully captured art deco architecture, which...

Swiss Game Development: Block Duel by Bummzack

When there is actually something happening it the Swiss games' scene, it should be noted. Even more so when the game is

available for free
based on a clever idea
and released without much fanfare.

Well, here comes the fanfare.

Roman Schmid (likely known to you as @bummzack on Twitter) created a Tetris clone for two, playable on your iPad, named ...

ID: Ich, Du (und alle anderen) nun als Demo verfügbar

Ein halbes Jahr nach der Bachelor-Ausstellung gibt es nun meine Bachelor-Arbeit auch als Download zum Testen.

Technisch entspricht das Spiel ungefähr dem Stand vom Juni – es hat also noch einige Bugs, die bis jetzt nicht ausgemerzt worden sind. Zudem sollte man die momentane Version vor allem als Tech-Demo ansehen: viele der gewünschten Funktionen sind vorhanden, aber natürlich müsste man noch einiges mehr an Inhalt einbauen.

ID: Me, You (and everybody else) Now Available as Download

Half a year after my bachelor's thesis game was presented at the bachelor's exhibition, it is now available as a download on this website.

The version is still largely the one that could be seen at the exhibition, with an additional, though very rough, English translation added.

Still, there are some bugs around. It might be best to understand the current state of the game as a tech demo: Most of the functionality is here, but it still lacks content and proper balancing. Play...
