Jon Mak’s Everyday Shooter bagged three awards at the recent Independent Games Festival (IGF) which was held during with the 2007 Game Developers Conference. The game takes elements from popular music players’ visualizations and concepts of arcade shooters and blends them into a single package. Weapon sound effects affect visual elements and even the musical arrangement of every level, thanks to simple mathematical calculations and some zany effects with shapes, shades, and colors.

Skiing simulator Go! Sports Ski hails from Yuke’s Co. Ltd, a game which allows for another use of Sony’s SIXAXIS sensors. With slalom racing among several other single player modes, split-screen and online racing modes, and visually stunning renders of ski slopes, Go! Sports Ski should cater to both young and old on the PlayStation 3. The initial release will include two distinct courses, which will be expanded over time.

PSN game developers SCEA San Diego Studios came up with High Velocity Bowling, a combination of bowling balls, comedic characters, and a little SIXAXIS action to tally that perfect strike against the Nintendo’s Wii Sports Bowling. How do we reckon that? Because the game was designed for family play, complete with four-player multi-player support, online stat tracking, and leaderboards.

PAIN is an attempt by Idol Minds (and not idle minds, mind you) to mix action and comedy all wrapped up with a ragdoll physics engine to turn stunts, gore, destruction, and (yep, you guessed it) pain into a certain source of entertainment. Take it as you will, but you could consider it as more of an alternative to experimenting with stunts – things that everyone would advise kids to “not do at home.”
