Who in the blazes?
Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

Fat Princess: The beautifully art directed multi-player game from Santa Monica’s Titan Studios sparked a flair of controversy when it was announced. Cake retention? Nevertheless, Sony has finally released the game here in the UK. Fat Princess is priced at £11.99 on the PSN. The premise of the game is ludicrously simple. The curvaceous royalty in question is the “flag” in a an elaborate take on the ‘Capture the Flag’ game mechanic. Fat Princess is beautifully presented in a fairy tale style. Level designs are elaborate and detailed and the character design –with quirky upgrades and power hats– are beautifully rendered. |
