Oh my goodness. SO. DAMN. STUNNING!
PS3 games and all in-game footage. No pre-renders here! You may have to watch an advertisement before the video starts.... (Note: If you don't like thrillers, don't watch the first one!)
One more thing. I LOVE that the leads in these games are strong females. Kick ass!

My good friend Scott Foe has done good for the games industry and the company he works for, Nokia. Scott has been working on the production of one of the most innovative mobile games I have ever seen and is one of the best examples of cross platform gaming you have ever experienced. Called "Reset Generation", it is a game that almost defies being pidgin-holed into a specific category. I believe that PocketGamer.co.uk put it best:
Put simply, Reset Generation delivers on all those promises and all of the hype. The main thing is that it's an innovative, challenging and above all hoot-to-play game. But it's also an important title in terms of pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming, and trying to do something genuinely new. It might not use GPS, boast eye-goggling 3D graphics, or rely on your phone's camera to turn your living room into an augmented reality dungeon. But Reset Generation is, nevertheless, an astounding game that lets the mobile phone stand toe-to-toe with the best that other platforms can offer. It is, in other words, utterly, utterly essential.
I should also mention that PocketGamer has reviewed over 2000 titles and have only ever awarded a score of '10' to eleven games. This puts Reset Generation in the same league as Tetris, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and God of War: Chains of Olympus.
And here is where Scott blew out the stops. This is a mobile game that you can play online, against other players, who are playing from a web browser. Written in Java! Although it currently only works on Windows platforms (we need to work on that dude!).
In fact, why don't you try it yourself? I embedded the game here!
Congratulations Scott! Very proud of you dude! You have created something that is unique, superb, pioneering and a testament to your awesome vision and mastery of this medium. I can not wait to see what you come up with next!
