You know where the toilet is. You know your hallway. But you still stub your toe and fumble like a drunk for the doorknob. Your ability to perfectly interpret your surroundings is broken by darkness. This is why software developers, according to Anton Mikhailov, a software engineer in research & development at SCE, program sweeping gestures into their Wii games instead of precise movements....

Pizza Titan Ultrais a frantic video game about piloting a mech to deliver pizzas and oh my goodness, how has this not been done before? It’s just one of those ideas; I immediately understand the appeal. This is in production at Breakfall, the studio best known for the narwhal stab-’em-upStarwhal.
