As the National Geographic Channel gears up for expedition week, the National Geographic website has launched companion interactive experiences to go along with the themes of the week’s featured specials, such as virtual head shrinking where users can upload pictures and shrink anyone’s head they choose – and share them on Facebook! The Expedition 2.0 game developed by Arkadium.com, in which players can explore their adventurist side and set out on exciting journeys surrounding three different scenarios.
Though Expedition Week on the National Geographic channel doesn’t start until November 16th, head shrinking, Expedition 2.0, as well as other puzzles and social interactive experiences are available now at natgeotv.com. Tap into your inner explorer

During their presentation at
GameX 2009 on agile game development,
Nathan Richardsson and
Adalsteinn “Alli” Óttarsson revealed the slide above, showing
EVE Online’s many facets and how they all tie into one another. But what’s this down in the corner? A mobile application and a instant messaging client?
While information was scarce, we were able to confirm that CCP is certainly interested in the mobile market, especially with EVE. Neocom is planned to be a multi-mobile platform project, going beyond the iPhone to add “interaction with EVE Online in a meaningful way.”
The plan seems to be to extend EVE across multiple locations to give players the ability to access all sorts of information from places outside of the game. It was mentioned that Neocom could do things like use corporation chat, check and change trades, and introduce other methods of two way interaction.
Later in the day, we’ll be putting up our video interview with Alli Óttarsson and Nathan Richardsson on a variety of topics, Neocom included. Check back for more exclusive coverage of GameX 2009!
