Yesterday evening at the Transmedia Zurich event, we were introduced to 2 very interesting new location based games: “Rundercover” and “Gbanga Famiglia Rise and Fall”. Even as the so called “cell-phone boycotter”, I found both pretty cool / creative. I think this genre of game generally appeals to my need for being physically active while playing… The games are both being developed here in Switzerland, and they both have crowd funding campaigns that you can check out and then hopefully support.

One of the more interesting events that I’ve recently been to, was the “Press Start To Play” at the Basel Toy Museum. The event that was hosted by the Webilea group, consisted of a tour of the exhibition, presentations by several game developers, and a good deal of play time. The venue was beautiful and altogether it was quite a fun evening.
My favourite presented game was “Ago“, a very nice game for Android. Currently installed on my tablet. 😉
My collection of pictures from the event can be found here.

Here’s something that’s been eating up a lot of my time lately. LEGO Digital Designer is an application by LEGO, which you can use to virtually build whatever you like, using all 
the LEGO pieces ever made. Yes, huge collection of pieces. That itself is something that made me a very very happy girl. But the fun doesn’t end there. Once you’re done building, you can actually order what you just built! Isn’t that fabulous? =D
So here you can download the app. Enjoy the addiction! ;D
For about a month now, I’ve been playing this online multiplayer game called Lord of Ultima. And I think I really like it, so I’m going to recommend it for any of you w![100126-lords[1]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Tl7xVSHEwJs/TBKWeFewqfI/AAAAAAAAAWw/lDW43vLw0m0/100126-lords%5B1%5D%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 "100126-lords[1]")
ho like me, 1 – Like games, 2 – Like to play with your friends, 3 – Like civilization style games, 4 – Hardly ever find the time to play anything at all. =)
Lord of Ultima is a strategy / civilization style game that’s fully browser based, and runs quite smoothly on most any browser / system. So it requires no installation of any kind. You sign up for an account, choose a server, and start building cities and armies. You can choose to go to war with other players, or focus on building your empire. You can invite your friends to join in an alliance with you, and you can support each other. And the nicest part of all of this from the point of view of someone like me, is that it “can” take very small amount of time to play. Even though people do get obsessed and spend hours just staring at their monitors as stuff get built [or so I’m told], but that’s not something you have to do. 😉 Personally I play this game for 30 seconds each time, in between working or studying… and just that.
I currently play on Server 6 EU, where me and friends have an alliance called Ariadne. If you’re by any chance tempted to join the game and play with us, you can check out a brief profile of our alliance @ Ariadne.Aasemoon.com. Feel free to drop me a line if you like to join. =)
Happy anniversary Pacman, and thanks for all the fun! =D I have to say, I totally love Google’s interactive Pacman doodle. Way to go, very cute! =) I also like this embeddable flash Pacman…. =P
