Yes, it is true. You can install and start Quake 3 Arena on your 1GHz powered Android mobile phone. Everything is there, all the settings, all your beloved characters. You can even start a single player level (haven’t tested multiplayer yet) BUT you can not walk (or run *hint*) around in any levels. Pretty weird, because according to reports you can run around in the levels on a Nexus One.

Check out my screenshot gallery below. And check out the official resource for Kwaak 3 on Google Project Hosting.

Remember, this is less about gaming and more about showing that almost no barriers and limits exist on Android. Just hardware with very open doors and skilled people working on it!

Swiss web-agencies Liip and frühjahr have created a secret santa “game” for Twitter. Yes, this Christmas you can do a secret santa on Twitter. And it is pretty simple. You just register with your Twitter account and the OAuth protocol and from December 1st until Christmas Eve you can give gifts to other twitterers. But instead of books, chocolate or handwritten poems you can give links, photos or other web-ish online stuff.
The German version of the game can be found on twichteln.ch. “Wichteln” is the German word for “secret santa” and English speaking people can participate on tweecretsanta.co.uk.

So go ahead and register. And have fun receiving your virtual gifts this Christmas season.
You can also download the press release with more details.

The official hashtags are #twichteln for the German members and #tweecret for English people.

Today marks the day a Swiss judge (female) has ruled that Stranglehold is “not cruel nor had urged the atrocities depicted”. And the displayed cruelty is not against human dignity. The game itself is a so called “killer game”, but not forbidden by law.

This decision marks a landmark for the Swiss gaming industry for producers as well as for consumers and players. It is not illegal to sell “killer games” in stores like Media Markt, Migros or Interdiscount.
Maybe it is now time to start the same discussion about violence in movies…

You can see some trailers of the game after the break and decide if you would have ruled the same way.

I could spend endless hours playing Tower Bloxx and other games. And I am not alone. Online Games are some of the biggest time wasters on the Internet. But there was no good website that had an easy interface and with focus on the game itself. So I decided to create my own little gaming website:
GamesAtFive.com – Free Online And Flash Games

There are over 350 games right now. Everyday a new game will be added. And every game is free to play!

And for your convenience I have added an RSS feed and an email newsletter.
