More production stills from James Cameron’s highly-anticipated film, Avatar, have surfaced and they really do look pretty freakin’ cool.  I will admit to not being totally on-board with the whole furor over this flick but the more I learn about it, the better it looks.

James Cameron’s newest movie, Avatar, won’t be released in theaters until December 18, 2009 but some screenshots from the official video game of the same name have started surfacing on the internet.

The film, starring Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington, is about a “band of humans are pitted in a battle against a distant planet’s indigenous population.”  I’m going to assume that the game, which is being developed by Ubisoft, will be based on a revised version of this plot.
While details about the game are sparse, Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot, revealed: “We’re using 3D technology for Avatar, the game that we …read more

So if Mr. Potato Head is considered a game then I can call MSN Messenger’s new “Minimize Me” a game.  Basically you create a version of yourself and then use the cute little doppelgänger with MSN Messenger.  You have the option of just saving your “mini me” or you can download yourself directly into MSN Messenger.  Also included in the download are a new set of emoticons customized with your new character.
