Demo Night VI
U.B. FunkeysOkay so we started with a cutting-edge FPS, fell waaaay back to an old-school adventure - and now we're heading into the realm of... hardware tie-in gaming? I don't know exactly what to label this type of game, but Arkadium's CEO, Kenny Rosenblatt, put on a good show. He handed out two Funkeys, one to each side of the room and told people to pass them on after about 45 seconds - the person who held them at the end of the talk would get to take them home. I was first seat in the first row so I held the one for my side of the room for about all of 10 seconds before passing it on :P It's an interesting idea, collectible figures that let you interact with different areas of the game world. Certainly would push kids to want to collect 'em all, although it's kind of lame they don't really do much other than look cool and plug in to your U.B. to let you play new games. Kids these days...
