Games Graffiti
Dec0
Ravensburger dares to new terrain: the line “GraffitiBox” brings the games manufacturers four sets for kids from seven years on the French market. There are a number of packs available:
“Graffiti Box” which contains an A4 sketchbook, stickers, 10 marker pens and 40 stencils of graffiti style letters.
“Blackbook Pack” which contains an A4 sketchbook and 10 marker pens.
“Aerograff Pack” which contains 12 stencils, 6 markers and an airbush.
“Letters Pack” which are two different collections of 30 graffiti letter stencils.
For some reason these kits only seem to be available in France and don’t even come up on the Ravensburger site when searching in languages other than French and they are available through Amazon in France for just under 35 Euros. Even though this is a bit of a gimic I thought I would post it up anyway even if just to give everyone a laugh, either that or make you cry out in dispair!

This is a little project for all the artists we have here at Gamer Syndrome. Ruffian Games, developer of Crackdown 2, is holding a competition to find “awesome” user-made, graffiti art to include in the game.
Here are the guidelines. The deadline is quite tight so any of you wanting to get involved in this competition will need to start tagging and stensiling away ASAP.
* Get your submissions to us in time, we need them by Wednesday the 9th of December
* Do not submit someone else’s pictures without permission. We don’t want to be tied up in a legal battles with spotty teenagers claiming we ripped off their work because you copied your entry from underneath the Staines underpass (the one near the chippy, not the one by the roundabout).
* Keep it clean. However tastefully or lovingly rendered goatse or tubgirl pics aren’t going to end up in the game
* Submission format: 1024 x 1024 images please. Format doesn’t matter that much. PNG is nice.
Crackdown 2 will be set in Pacific City 10 years after the original game. Those 10 years seem to have been unkind to the city as it now lies in ruins, buildings falling apart, mutant freaks roam the streets and walls are plastered with graffiti (this is where you come in mes artista amigos).
There is no word of prizes beyond winners artwork being placed in the game but it seems pretty worthwhile, simply for the “I graffitied Crackdown 2″ factor.
All entries need to be sent to (compo@gazaxian.com)
