GameSetWatch: GoldenEye, Sand, Defcon

The CMP Game Group's new GameSetWatch video game weblog is still updating regularly over the holiday season, and some of the more interesting recent posts include: - The release of the alpha version of Half-Life 2 mod Goldeneye: Source, from the team unofficially adapting Rare's classic N64 FPS to the Source engine, to plenty of popular acclaim. - A Japanese web developer's release of the World Of Sand software toy, an in-browser Java game which "involves playing with sand, water, salt, and oil as molecules of each fall from above", and is built with neat art/code tool Processing. - Darwinia creator Introversion Software's announcement of its latest title, an indie PC game named Defcon which is "a primarily multi-player anti-war RTS based loosely on the 1983 film WarGames, where the main character played a game called 'Global Thermonuclear War'." There are plenty more GameSetWatch posts at the official website, where there's also an RSS feed available for subscribing to.
