To promote Killzone 2, a new 1st person shooter on the PS3, they designed an online web game.
The web game is downloaded as a tool bar and at any given time during your browsing experience, you can be attacked by the deadly Helghast.
From Agency Republic. I really love this.
Simple, fun, community fostering idea. Good work.
This is genius animation. The sound design and soundtrack are just so, so brilliant too. Freshest thing that I have seen in ages.

Now that we have just finished the fourth series, it seems as good a time as any to add to the millions of ecstatic reviews on the web. Never in my life have I watched anything so amazingly gripping, so poignant and so heartbreaking. The Wire is a true master class in writing, storytelling, acting and social commentary. Every single episode weaves a whole spectrum of emotions into it, allowing the stories to unfold at such a natural pace and with characters who are beautifully developed so that you care about just the plight of just about everyone. It’s astonishing.
Set up by our illustrators at work. Some really cool stuff here. Love the paintballing piece (below) from AKA studios.
These guys are brilliant web designers and animators. Technically spot on. Something for our design guys to aspire to.
