Eat a funnel cake and watch this Carnival Island trailer
Carnivals are a great way to spend time with your family; the only problem is that they're hardly ever in town, and when they are, their poorly maintained rides and crooked midway attractions put you and your loved ones in harm's way, both physically and psychologically. Sony's Carnival Island hopes to replicate that experience in a less traumatic fashion, by replacing carnies with animals and impossible games with the Move controller.
Magic Pixel Games formed by THQ, EA, Activision vets
Though some companies are characterized as being chock-full of "movers and shakers," we can't think of a company more deserving of the phrase than the newly formed development studio Magic Pixel Games. According to the developer's press release announcement, the team is composed of THQ, Electronic Arts and Activision veterans, including Boom Blox lead engineer Jeff Dixon and senior development director Mark Tsai. The announcement adds that the team possesses an "unparalleled grasp of human motion and physics to create unforgettable motion gaming experiences on console platforms." What does that mean? Well, it probably means that Magic Pixel's first big title is going to incorporate some kind of motion controller. What else does it mean? It means that everyone knows there knows how to physically move their own bodies, which is a handy skill for any living being. More specific details about their upcoming projects should surface soon -- the press release also promises that Magic Pixel's debut title will launch this holiday season.
