Saturday Today

Well, it's Saturday, and the blog is about a week old, and has four posts to it. If I keep this up, I'll have a few tons of text amassed in a month or two.

Beyond that exciting news, I have started to watch G4TV's coverage of the Game Developer Conference. It's been pretty interesting so far, and a game caught my eye. This is Vegas seems to be the most interesting game I've seen so far. The synopsis, as provided by the game's developers, is

When a powerful businessman begins turning Vegas into a family-friendly tourist trap, you must start your own powerful empire and resurrect the famous adult playground. Party hard at the hottest clubs to make VIP connections. Grow your bankroll by hitting high stakes tables. Race the fastest cars on the underground circuit to raise your reputation. Fight off enemies with fists and firearms to prove your strength. Where you go and what you do is your call whether counting cards, seducing dangerous women, cruising the strip or starting bar brawls, there’s lots of excitement on the way to the top.

And that seems pretty interesting to me. The game has a few screenshots, but the one that has caught my eye would have to be this one. The game appears oddly stylized, and if it releases for the XBox 360, I think I'll have to ask my brother to look into it.
