Engadget giveaway: win a huge box of stuff from Josh's office!

@Jeff I hope there is a pony in the box

This is a triumph: Orange Box goes on sale for $9.99

You shouldnt have a problem running Orange Box on an Aluminum Macbook. That is what I do most of my gaming on (mostly just TF2/L4D).

Just make sure it has proper ventilation while you are playing. because that aluminum gets mighty hot otherwise.

3D FAPPING HERE I COME!

Passage now passes time on iPhone

Passage's brilliance isn't from what it's portraying, it's HOW its portraying it. It does it all within the the actual gameplay. There isn't any text in the game, besides the title. There aren't cut scenes giving you info on what's happening, or any sort of back story. A painting doesn't rely on anything but it's title and the picture itself to get it's message across, and this points out that maybe games shouldnt either.

I should also say that personally I'm a fan of all 3 games mentioned (OoT, Braid, and Passage), but it's hard to compare Passage to something like OoT. You spend 5 mins with Passage, you spend countless hours with OoT, you obviously arent going to get the same attachment to it.

"At least, for me, I played Ocarina of Time as a young child and it touched me in a way that no game ever has."

Super Mario Bros 3 did that for me too, but I wouldnt necessarily consider it to be any more artistic because of it. Don't underestimate the power of nostalgia.
