Tuesday Shorts: 8-bit Fable, Oddworld, Smell-o-Vision, L4D2
It's Tuesday lunchtime. Don't you even think about touching that packet of barbecue Hoola Hoops until you've read today's news that aren't worth covering on their own, Gringo.
- Someone's made what Fable would look like if it was 8-bit. It was created by a Lionhead community moderator. There's a video on Joystiq.
- Move's been hacked to be able to detect the Earth's rotation with a turntable. There's more over on Engadget.
- Valve's going back to original mutations for Left 4 Dead 2 instead of community-made modes. Find out why on the L4D blog.
- Remember the Metroid Prime art from Sunday? There's more of it on GAF.
