Holographic 3D interfaces!

Minority Report, anyone?

Sony’s head-mounted 3D display

Head-mounted displays have been around since the 80′s, and they’ve never really picked up. Get. The. Hint.

Not just because of their addictive game-play… but because all the while you are playing the game, you will be laughing at yourself!

Achievement Unlocked (click here to play) is designed to make fun of players’ obsessive-compulsive pursuit of Xbox Achievements and perhaps even PlayStation Trophies.

Once you’re done playing that, try Upgrade Complete (click here to play). This one pokes fun at games where the player has to upgrade his/her character… which nowadays, is almost all of them!

Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind.” – Anonymous

Following the camera and physics style found in games such as LittleBigPlanet, Trine is a fantastical PlayStation Network game that’s about as beautiful as you can imagine:

Here’s the GameSpot review:

Last week, at E3, Sony and Microsoft showed the world their pitch on the future of motion control.

Here are the two videos, for you to compare them head-to-head:

Kill him! http://www.idealabsinteractive.com/blog/post/assassin-kill-him/ http://www.idealabsinteractive.com/blog/post/assassin-kill-him/#comments Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:26:01 +0000 Idea Guy http://www.idealabsinteractive.com/blog/?p=84 You click PLAY to view the E3 live demo of Assassin’s Creed II; and this is what you get:

Looks like Ubisoft has erred on the side of caution, creating an industry-standard sequel that’s simply Assassin’s Creed + new features.

Don’t be surprised if it makes them a TON of money!

Got time? Then follow-up on Radical Entertainment’s just-released Prototype…

…or Visceral Games’ Dante’s Inferno

…or Vigil Games’ Darksiders: Wrath of War

…or (of course) Sony’s God of War III
