It’s a game, no it’s a robot! It’s only 1.35 million dollars. It’s Kuratas by Suidobashi Heavy Industry. The weapons are all in fun, except the gun does contain BBs. The aim has facial recognition, so it tracks humans. If you (the shooter) smiles, the gun starts firing! Want?!

Just added to Game Night 11. GR2 Saturday October 20th 7-10pm
iPad games: Astro Duel, Bloop and a viewing of One Million Hit Points.
We’ll also be premiering the latest episode of One Million Hit Points, a new webshow dedicated to video game culture in California.
Astro Duel
Astro Duel is a competitive astroid-style four player space arena for iPad. Inspired from endless nights of Super Bomberman, rounds are quick and death is sudden. Each player’s ship is controlled wirelessly with an iPhone or iPod touch. Arm your ship with 7 different power ups including missiles, lasers and auto-turrets. Varied arena bring a host of hiding places and hazards like death beams and black holes. Blow up your friends, rinse, repeat.
Bloop
Bloop is a fast, frantic touch game for iPad designed by Rusty Moyher. Two, three, or four players compete to tap the most tiles…at the same time! Easy at first, but soon the tiles shrink and hands collide. Each color plays a unique BLOOP sound, showing your symphonic success or dissonant disaster. As players push their way to victory, this onomatopoeic adventure becomes a hilarious party game.

I Wanna Be The Guy Gaiden by Michael “Kayin” O’Reilly
I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden is the sequel to most difficult game sensation I Wanna Be The Guy. A platformer that takes sprites from games of your childhood memories – and you may not have seen this one coming – kills you with them.
And Walker By Blake Fix
An impressively large platformer with beautiful sprite art, a whimsical sense of humour and a single-button control system. Playing as the titular Walker, you embark on a grand quest to… walk somewhere, in a mostly forwards/rightwards direction! And jump on stuff!

The Wii bowling segment on this new show, One Million Hit Points is rad. Touching to see seniors seriously play Wii bowling. This is just a pilot and it’s fun. Yes, I’m in this too.
Here’s the Youtube link.
Amazing. The headline says it all, but read about the collection of what he had! We’ll see if the Ebay bid and win was real. (LA Times – Games)
Japan, of course. “Biohazard Cafe and Grill S.T.A.R.S restaurant” will the name, and they’re sell some limited good, it’ll supposedly last a year and really, that’s all the info Capcom and game folks have figured out. The easiest part might be the menu. It can be straight up ugly and crappy and it’ll still work. (Huffpo – Zombie)
Biohazard
Game Night is always a fun event. The evening had a summer vacation vibe as the area was filled with locals who were just cut free from school. Graduations just took place at the local colleges and everyone was happy to be out. It’s hard to capture the many little micro things going on at Game Night. The crowds came through in waves, so it went from packed, to light, to packed again. We had 4 different games, 5 stations, Yeren – a board game that’s part of Game Over, and even a marriage proposal.
The proposal. They were up from San Diego, he had told her that one day they’d go to a Game Night. He wore a different GR shirt during the day and had a costume change at some point, since at Game Night, he was wearing his proposal outfit. He got the ring a couple of months earlier. After playing games, checking things out, he played Yeren in front of Shelby Cinca and Sean Chao, and that’s where he popped the question. She said yes. Romantic dude. She was near shaking and fiddling with the ring nonstop. The photo below is just a few minutes later. Eventually, we hope to see their Flipcam video that someone shot. Game Night is magical.
The photos below is Glorkian Warriors shot from off the parking lot wall at Giant Robot 2. The art is by James Kochalka, and the Game play, Pixeljam. This will be a hit game. The animation is smooth and it feels like you’re in the Kochalka cartoon world. This is a fun one.
Alt Flyer for Game Night 10 by Pixel Jam. It’s not listing all of the items of Game Night 10, yet it’s awesome.
Realized forgot to post Part 2 of the Game Over exhibition! 140 pieces is a lot (see the art in the shop)
