embedded games

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Today, I noticed a myspace bulletin with a game! I’m probably a little behind on this, but I think this is a really great idea. So, I followed the link, played the game a few times and then did some digging to figure out how it all works. The game is from Rock You, a site that has free myspace layouts and lots of widgets. They also provide code to embed that game in your myspace profiles, blogs, etc. I think there’s lots of potential here. For now, enjoy the game!

Update: I’ve removed the game because a) it was too big for my blog template and b) the music was driving me crazy. Embedding the game works much better for myspace than it does for blogs, which I’m sure is where Rock You gets most of its traffic anyway. For now, you can play all of their games here.

Now, Adolfo is quite a funny guy. A real piece of work! He is a regular on the Toucher and Rich show and the star of a new game from Pod Design! I’m not ready to show the game just yet, but here’s a preview to whet your appetite:


Fashion Frenzy

Fashion Frenzy
This is the newest and biggest game from Beacon Street Girls! We launched Fashion Frenzy last week and I’ve just been having a blast sharing the link with everybody. Who doesn’t love a good dress up/fashion game?! And if you’re like me and have spent countless hours playing dress up games online, you know how much better this game is in comparison to any other game out there! Have fun, enjoy, and send me your cute creations! Of course, don’t forget to send it to a friend ;)

I’ve been frothing at the mouth waiting to post this one!

The other project that’s been keeping me on my toes lately is this new game for Protrade:

MascotKombat

Mascot Kombat is a very cool flash game designed as a parody of Mortal Kombat! It features an assortment of mascot costume clichés that duke it out in the ultimate superfan smackdown. You can choose to be an Eagle, Viking, Tiger or Indian and you must fight all other mascots to win!

Update: please vote for this game at I am bored!

go boom

Work is definitely keeping me busy these days! One of the many projects I’m working on is the launch of the newest game for Tweeter Mobile called Go Boom!

Go Boom

I’ve yet to beat this game, but I’ve gotten closer with this one than I have on any other Pod Game. I’m getting better :)

Basically, players drive through these crazy scenes with aliens, robots and even wild monkeys. You have to “pimp out” you car with all the best sound equipment to fight them; blast them with your bass or track them with your sonar. You earch cash for every monster you shoot down and, at the end of each level, you can buy bigger and better equipment. Try it out for yourself!

sudoku

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I’ve never played a game of sudoku till this morning; I didn’t even know what it really was. Initially, I thought, “numbers? umm…. no; not for me.” But we’ve built a soduku game for kids ages 9-13 at work. So, I figured I should at least play it once before trying to “sell” it to anybody. So, I played; and now, I’m hooked. It is a great game of logic! Try for yourself:

i just can’t win

Zinio Match

I’ve been playing this game for about a month now and I still haven’t won! We developed it for the digial magazine company, Zinio and all you have to do is find 10 differences in two seemingly identical magazine covers in under 30 seconds. Easy, right? Well, not for me. I find it so amusing that I work for an online gaming company when I am so bad at playing computer games!

This is really sad because there’s a limited number of magazine covers, so after you’ve played for a while, you start to see repeats. I’ve been playing/testing this game for a month; I’m definitely seeing duplicates! I’m just too slow :( I’m so addicted and I’m determined to win.

I only have till Monday, though. Then, we release a new game, a fighting game (check back for a link soon!). I totally suck at that one!
