It wasn't really a secret that Microsoft had big-time gaming ambitions for WP7 -- the demo video above is from way back in March of this year. As hardware specs begin leaking and the release date approaches, it's time to make sure that someone is developing awesome games for the platform. Over at the Microsoft Careers site, there's a new job posting which makes it pretty clear that the ...

Brad covered JamStudio back in 2007, but the site has changed its looks and seems to have added plenty of new functionality. It's basically a quick way of throwing a song together, and all you have to do is click a bunch of chords and instruments.

So I can only think Monaco, or Vista's answer to GarageBand, will also be at least a bullet point on the back of the box (which box remains a ...

I have always hated the animation tools in Flash. Maybe it's because I cut my teeth doing animation the old-fashioned way. But ever since Adobe killed off LiveMotion my inner animator hasn't been happy.Which is why I was delighted to hear Toon Boom Studio has recently risen to the big 3.0. It appears the Mac version is now on par with the PC version (lip sync didn't work before) and there are some ...
