Diablo 3 To Be Announced Soon?

1) Blizzard.com displays a mysterious splash page. Blizzard has previously done the same mystery style announcement for Starcraft 2. So what announcement could this be?

2) Diablo3.com was just snapped up by Blizzard as recent as FEW DAYS AGO! Previously, this was a fan page and now the ownership of this domain name belongs to Blizzard.

1 + 2 = Diablo 3

Looks like good news for Diablo fans soon.

Spore Creature Creator Hands On

The trial version of Spore Creature Creator has been released recently and I just played with it for a while and I got to say, it’s been a while since I’ve been impressed with a game that is both highly intuitive and brings great fun. While the creature creator is just a small part of a huge game that is to be released (I think September), it provides an insight of what to expect.

Spore Creature Creator trial version is available for download here for both Mac and PC. The full version is available for purchase at 9.99 USD. On the other hand, the full game will be available for 49.95 USD pre-order (you can download it off the net when it releases).

I’m looking forward to the full game and pit my creature to battle with other creations.

It’s Playtime: Fun MacBook Apps

If you’ve read my previous posts, you would know that every MacBook comes equipped with a motion sensor. The primary purpose of this sensor is to quickly stop your hard disk from operating when it detects that your laptop is falling. This is done to minimise the damage of the hard disk.

Technical stuff aside, the motion sensor also brought a new breed of apps. These apps utilise the motion sensor to give various feedback.

Got another friend with a MacBook? Then try playing MacSaber!

Imagine you’re Luke Skywalker, and your friend, Han Solo stole your TV Remote and you would like a revenge.

MacSaber simulates your MacBook as a lightsaber by playing lightsaber swing sounds as you swing your MacBook. How cool is that!

Another cool app is LiquidMac. This app basically simulates liquid orientation, so if you tilt your MacBook to the left, the liquid will flow to the left and vice versa.

Lastly, this fun app is a dream come true for Pong fanatics.

Enter Wally Bally, the brainchild of a very talented designer Julius Eckert. Wally Bally is a game that allows you to bounce a ball to the left or right, and the rule of the game is to only bounce the ball when the wall turns green. If you bounce the ball on a red wall, it’s game over!

Know any other cool MacBook apps? ;)
