Just grabbed this game on Xbox Live Arcade, and it’s really awesome. Full of good little puzzles with beautifully dark art direction. Playdead has created a world that’s creepy, atmospheric and a load of fun to play. If they had kept making side scrollers like this, maybe we wouldn’t get the same load of bad FPS clones year after year. Now watch out for those bear traps!

My favorites include older Pez like the Merry Melody Makers, baseball related dispensers (Cubs Charlie Brown!), old Looney Tunes, and of course the various iterations of Dr. Skull (pictured right).

Itching to grab yourself some cool Pez? Give Ann a shout at The Canada Candy Connection. Based out of a ranch near Okotoks, her selection has something for everyone and she’ll ship everywhere. Tell her Cam sent ya.

Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, “Smile On Your Brother” , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they first hit mass production. This seemed the perfect canvas to launch the contributor campaign. The idea behind not only the show, but also overall project is to hopefully inspire people to think about their first skateboard and what it meant to them. For many skaters, this still represents a pivotal moment in their lives, with every last little detail, fresh in their minds. Bringing together contemporary artists both in, and affected by the skateboard industry to help raise funds to go towards the first goal of Contributor which is to donate 100 skateboards to disadvantaged youth across Canada in 2009/2010

There’s some real heavy hitters in this one such as Don Pendleton (pictured), Travis Millard, Mel Kadel, Andy Jenkins, Jim Houser, Parra, and Porous Walker among many others. Be sure to check it out, as we rarely get the opportunity to see this kind of artistic talent come across Canada. Plus all pieces are available for purchase with proceeds going to the Contributor cause. Good stuff.

Check out this impressive demo of the Project Natal Xbox add-on from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Looks like the Wii killer is here! This controller-free concept makes the Wiimotes look clunky by comparison – I especially love the driving demo, absolutely blew my mind.
