What to Watch: The Deepening

I saw this on Friday but I forgot to mention it in the news. I am referring to the interesting interactive story The Deepening. A sort-of homage to The Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” video, The Deepening is a playable web comedy short video that is reminiscent of those old Play Your Own Adventure books. Basically at certain points in the video it gives you some 8-bit inspired choices on which direction to take the story into. this of course can lead to some funny but unhappy endings for the story and its crazy characters.

You can check the video out at http://www.atom.com/spotlights/deepening/ . When I played it I got everyone killed. Oops! I should probably give it another shot.  To quote Danny Glover - “RIGGS! I’m gettin’ too old for this sh*t!”

Top 8 Rejected PS3 Games

Crispy Gamer’s resident cynic and part-time code ninja Chris Buecheler seems to have way too much time on his hands, if this Top 8 Rejected PS3 Games list is any indication.

Chris gives us a unique inside look at 8 games that never saw the light of day for one reason or another, despite the marketability of all. I won’t to spoil it for you (hit the link and read it for yourselves) but any game that allows you to scale old people and stab them in their gray spots is a major win in my opinion.
