SLACKERJACK - Travelogue 360
December 7th, 2006 at 12:30 by Stuart Heritage
We've all played Where's Wally in the past, and then taken a week off work afterwards because of all the blood that's pouring out of our eyes from all the straining. But Where's Wally isn't really true to life in many ways, because everything's in rubbish old 2D.
Imagine how amazing Where's Wally would be if you played it in a 360 degree, 3D room that let you zoom in and out as you please to find Wally. Well, you're going to have to wait for that retina-shattering game to come out, but in the mean time here's Travelogue 360, which is easily the next best thing. Travelogue 360 is a kind of Mystery Case Files game, but you can pan around beautiful 360 degree panoramas of Paris - and even move in for a closer look if the mood takes you. Travelogue 360 feels like a real step forward in gaming, and finding the clues in the panorama has become a little more realistic and taxing. Plus, Travelogue 360 is just like being in Paris but without all the crepe stands (boo!) and dog shit (yay!).
