Giraffetastic!
Oct. 16th, 2006 11:08 pmI've a new game to get excited about for Xbox 360, and it's called Space Giraffe (Working title)! It's the latest creation by the Yak himself, Jeff Minter (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

After looking at the video, I realised this is what the Xbox Live Arcade needs. Simple, original games which take advantage of the Xbox 360's capabilities.
I was quite sad to hear when Yak's long development for Unity for the GameCube was scrapped, presumably because the GC was dieing and Yak was taking too long over it. So it's come as great news to hear that following his work on the Xbox 360 visualiser, he's going on to do what he does best, make fun games!
Anyway, I recommend people take a look at the video - http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-8021122538400892764 (can't get embedding to work)
