Abstract: It may be an early App Store entry, but there’s no harm in revisiting a title from a major publisher. Control schemes using the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer may seem quaint now, but they were an intriguing idea during the summer of 2008, and THQ’s...
Abstract: de Blob first came to live as a simple looking freeware PC title created by university students in the Netherlands. After it got some notice on the Internet, THQ picked up the rights to the game for console versions and later decided to launch the game...

Abstract: Prior to actually playing de Blob for Wii, I heard a lot of early Katamari Damacy style comparisons, but having sat down and played the game now, I don't think they quite fit. Sure, it's a unique title, and the mechanics are somewhat similar, but the o...
Abstract: de Blob's rise from an art school project to a high-profile Wii release will likely go down as one of videogaming's great Cinderella stories. It's not everyday that some hard-working kids manage get discovered by a real-life game developer, and when t...
