Matthew Wegner of Flashbang "Off Road Velociraptor Safari" Studios dropped me a line about their forthcoming online home for their games, Blurst.

First impressions? Sumotori Dreams meets Mr Magoo, leading to a fairly accurate simulation to what I used to be like when drinking in Bath. All it lacks is a final level where the lead character falls asleep in Set Menu C.

Clearly, we'll be linking to the game when it comes out. With another splendid name, how could we not?
