Blur is a racing game built around the premise that racing can be more about not crashing into things. In Blur you can race around a treacherous tack and tactfully dispense of your rivals with fancy power ups, earning awards, fans  and possibly a bit of notoriety amongst the online gaming community while you are at it.

Robot Unicorn Attack (iPhone/Flash)

I’ve come to enjoy the absolute over-the-top quirkiness of Adult Swim’s line of flash games. This one is no exception. With a name like Robot Unicorn Attack what else can you expect than a game about a robot unicorn jumping over rainbows?

It’s definitely more gay than a handbag full of rainbows. It’s also definitely one of the most gratifying flash games I’ve played in a long time. Throw in Erasure – Always as a backtrack and you’ve got an instant classic.

Also, check out the iPhone version here.

These are actually not as common as you would think though and, trying to withhold myself from buying online, I’ve had to resort to scouring my local electronic shops for a set that supports optical line in. My mission seemed to be hopeless, until one fateful day I saw this, the Sharkoon X-tatic Digital 5.1 headphones. read more
