Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally OK Now
B.U.T.T.O.N is a four-player, one-button party game for PC and Xbox 360, first revealed as part of the Kokoromi Gamma IV competition, and is due out soon. What ever happened to all those other games that never got a mention, I wonder?

iPad: "Near Miracle for my son with Autism"
I had a really nice article passed my way via Nick Streeter at SpecialEffect, entitled "The iPad: a Near-Miracle for my son with Autism". I think the iPad is clearly a lovely device, but it's very limited in some ways. I think the lack of USB sockets is just plain bonkers. Not great for alternative access, I have to say. This said, RJ Cooper is striving to find ways to make the device more accessible, and has a switch interface get-around in the works.
Living the Least Dangerous Assumption
I've not reblogged anything from Kate Ahern lately, so I thought I'd put that right. I absolutely love her latest post, "Living the Least Dangerous Assumption", and have added her very useful info on dwell clickers to the Accessible Gaming Shop.

V.I. Tennis
Imagine Wii Sports Tennis in the dark, and playable, and you have VI Tennis. It's a brilliant idea and happily, is well executed too. You'll need one or two Wii remotes, a Bluetooth equipped PC (I bought a USB Bluetooth dongle for 99p from eBay which works fine) and the free PC download of VI Tennis.All game play is through sound, feel and motion. I did find setting up tricky on my Windows 7 machine, but once it was, I was away. Reviewed over at the Accessible GameBase. Over at VI Fit, they also have an audio Wii-remote version of Bowling, which will hopefully be a sign of many more games to come.
