Albert – a truly unique game that captured our attention all weekend.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | No CommentsAlbert is like no other game we’ve seen. Apparently, they’ve created the graphics by cutting out over 1,000 cardboard figures, photographed them, then imported them into the game. It gives the game a very distinct look and feel. The feel in fact, goes beyond just […] -
