Help Kidz Learn just keep giving. Brand new is their highly accessible Card Maker, and I like it muchly. It has a beautifully simple interface, including one and two-switch modes. Card types presently include Birthdays, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. It's an experimental on-line activity, and perhaps a work in progress. If you have any suggestions for improvements or other types of cards, do drop them a line.
Over at the same place, they have a basic version of an Atari classic, called Brick Out. It's an excellent game to build tracking skills for users, who will hopefully then be able to move onto more involved games.

Scott McKay is one of an ever growing army of lone and small-team coders writing accessible games. And thank goodness for them, because I can't see the mainstream doing very much at the moment. Scott's latest highly accessible switch game is the Winter Olympic and Paralympic sport of Curling. I won't waffle on as you can read a review on it over at the Accessible Gamebase with links to the on-line and downloadable versions. I like it lots.Whilst you're there, you may like to take in these two beautifully surreal one-switch games: Dracula Cha Cha and Dr. Sanjay Gupta's Wacky Adventure Inside a Human Body. And abstract Eye-Tracker and Head-Tracker accessible game: El Beso.
Coming next? Last-gasp efforts to get fit enough to run the London Marathon (have you got bored of me saying - please sponsor me yet!?), Accessible Rock Band auctioned off to help me fund-raise a bit more, and an AT collective podcast including an Audio Gaming segment by me.

Genie Genie is the latest from Shoot Your Mouth Off Films. If you like these, do see Nuts for Pudding, my favourite from them and their Country & Western spoof, 'Life in General'. You can get these on DVD too (top quality visuals) if you contact Karen Sheader at SYMO.

1. New images of Earth. Nasa's most accurate yet. I don't like to brag to non-Earthlings, but our planet is very beautiful.2. The power of Trololololololololololo to make people beam.
3. Just how creative some people are: Bathtub IV.
Consider this happy-filler whilst the OneSwitch Blog takes a bit of a laid back view to updates. Training for the London Marathon is taking up a good chunk of my efforts at the minute. Thank heavens for Add N to (X), bananas and ice-packs. And if you can view it, what an inspiration! Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man on BBC3 and iPlayer. And please sponsor me!!!

Three mighty fine one-switch PC games just reviewed at SpecialEffect's Accessible GameBase: Pax Britannica a multi-player strategic shoot-em-up. Half PI D Golf five minutes of space-age golf. High High Rocket a one or two-player super-cute happy-house platformer cum shoot-em-up. All of these came about from the Gamma 4 competition, with the winners due to be announced on the 10th of March.Labels: game reviews, gamma iv, one-switch games, PC
