Here are some black and white sketches of the eagle, the rabbit and the splash screen.

Here are some sketches of the splash screen. Keep it simple. Single image of the eagle and a start button. More buttons can be added here as needed. The game will be a top down view of the land. Here are some ideas of what the screen will look like over the head of the eagle. On the left of the first two rows are the sections of the screen the user can click. These will be where the user decides to direct the eagle. On the right of the first two rows are the lanes which the rabbit prey will be running through. As the rabbit reaches an intersection, it will be up to the user to predict which way the rabbit goes. The last image shows the rabbit moving in one direction and the eagle moving forward. Once the rabbit is lost from sight, it is lost.

This is the first post on a new journey. The journey of making a computer game. I've had this idea for a game. To fly like an eagle. To hunt like an eagle. To become an eagle. These posts will bring together how I went about it. Where I started, where I stumbled and how I kept going. The first step is storyboarding the game. What will the game look like? What kind of art style? What kind of game mechanics? Eagle is about hunting down prey. It's about predicting a preys movement as it tries to flee. A speed chase to capture it. To keep it simple I will be focusing development on smartphones.

Developers: Team Bondi, Rockstar Games Publisher: Rockstar Games Platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3 Rating: M Release Date: 20 May 2011 Good: Fantastic acting | Simplicity | Great story Bad: Lack of control | Not easy to pick up and play Prepare to get wrapped up in the world of a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detective set in 1947. In this third person crime solving game you are Cole Phelps, a balls-busting cop trying to clear the streets of L.A. I really enjoyed the variety contained in this game. Whether you are interrogating a suspect at the police station or hunting someone down in a high speed car chase, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself. The whole of Los Angeles is at your feet and there is plenty to keep you busy. Each character in L.A. Noire clearly and precisely shows their emotion. They act their part rather than in most games where it is just a simple animation. The acting here is based on the movements of a real life human as they display courage, fear a...

Developers: Monolith Productions Publisher: Sega Platforms: Xbox 360 Rating: M Release Date: 2/12/2005 Good: Thrilling horror | Comprehensive gameplay | Engrossing environments Bad: Short story | Annoying achievements Monolith Productions have given us some fantastic games in its lifetime with the most notable game being F.E.A.R. Although F.E.A.R. is a fantastic game, I believe Condemned to be the better beast in both enjoyable gameplay and encompassing plot line. These two immersive and disturbing games send shivers through my spine just thinking about them. Monolith has successfully taken ideas and styles from famous horror films such as The Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. You are Ethan Thomas, voiced by Greg Grunberg, and this is your story. After a serious of unfortunate events, Ethan becomes a man on the run from the law as he hunts down a serial killer. The killer has a witty and sadistic mind, similar to Hannibal Lecter, and is sure to give you a run for your money. I...

If this is your first Need for Speed title then I am truly jealous of you. You have missed out on a massive amount of boring and annoying titles, none of which seemed truly confident in what they were. With the help from the amazing developers at Criterion, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a complete rebirth of the famous series. Criterion has brought us the amazing and popular Burnout Paradise. Clearly they have learnt a lot about addictive racing games and have used this knowledge in creating a brilliant just-for-fun game. Buckle up and get ready for an online multiplayer experience which will leave its competitors in the dust. I would only recommend this game to casual gamers who like to play online with friends. There is not a large amount of content in the game but what you are given is truly a masterpiece. It has a single player mode but it seems this only exists to allow players to gain the upgrades for their cars offline. If you like the addictive fun of Super Mario Kart and wa...

Rail shooters are the classic game we cannot help but play. They sit triumphantly in the arcade knowing full well you will feed it with your coins if only just to get the obsession out of your system. These are centred on ease of use where the only thing you have to concentrate on is shooting a pretend gun at a varying amount of baddies on screen. This clarity and focus on enjoyment captures my interest every time. The newest edition to the Time Crisis series, Razing Storm, brings this experience to the comfort of your couch. Coupled with the PlayStation 3's amazing power and the surprisingly realistic PlayStation Move, we should have seen something truly creative and enjoyable. Sadly this couldn't be further from the truth. You might be thinking “but Razing Storm has 3 games in 1! I'm sure there are loads of things in there to keep me occupied”. Included in this compilation are Razing Storm, Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates. Razing Storm and Time Crisis 4 are perfect ...
