It’s a nice day out and if you’re self employed, you can go bike riding, but it is deadline day at Giant Robot for Game Over. Some artists look like they haven’t had enough sleep.

Gary Musgrave – Joust (now corrected) action using acrylic ink. Sarah Lee – Yes that’s inspired by Donkey Kong. It’s a great take of the game. Sara Saedi – Crash Bandicoot. Who remember this game?
