Firefly: The first game for Microsoft Surface

Friday, 29 February 2008 - 11:54 PM SL Time

We really enjoyed the opportunity to see this first-ever game application for Surface, and playing Firefly was surprisingly addictive and fun. Carbonated Games delivered what can only be called, the best Surface game ever made (let it sink in okay you got it.) Below, is some video we shot of our experience.

Have been busy, but I am fine thanks for asking :)

Besides nothing new to add on the main threads, we can argue about the same things only so many times, will wait for something new to happen :)

Forget gaming but have you seen the rest of the stuff Surface can do, its pretty amazing, wonder what it will cost, given that their partners are big hotel chains and casino type places I don't imagine it will be cheap at first and will be geared towards their use :( :(

What's a FOBT's? Sorry :)

Anyway I found an old item on pricing, supposed to be $10,000 to start, which considering is not too bad, I had expected it to be much higher.

Eski did you check out the Microsoft site linked above, they have a couple of videos, one with such a scenario, with drinks served on the table then letting you interact with them etc.
