A Very Cool Game Called Platypus

Check out this video from the developer of a very different game called Platypus coming soon for the iPhone/iPod touch. Literally every element of the game is made out of clay. The developers used high quality cameras to photographed clay figures and ported it to the iPhone/iPod touch making a very cool 3d looking accelerometer-based game along with a nice & smooth gameplay. We can't wait to get our hands on this game. I will be making a video review of this game and posting more video reviews i got ready. Stay Tuned.
