Skulls Of The Shogun Comes Out On January 30

If you’ve got a device with a Microsoft logo on it, you’ll be able to play 17-Bit’s action/strategy title, Skulls of the Shogun. The long-brewing game — playable on Xbox 360, PC, Surface and Windows Phone, complete with asynchronous turns — will be out at the end of the month.

Back in July, our Luke Plunkett wrote about the high-tech future of board games. Then we saw a canned demo of classic game Catan on Microsoft’s surface. Now, watch real people play, as seen at PAX 2010.


Playing (Casual) Games On Microsoft’s Surface

They weren’t exactly impressive, but the Microsoft Surface tables set up at CES did have games running on them. Too bad they all seemed like the sort you’d find on an iPhone and not a $US10,000 interactive computer thingie.


Dungeons & Dragons On Microsoft Surface Is For Wealthy DMs Only

Microsoft’s multi-touch Surface table may not seem like an efficient use of one’s cash, but if this Dungeons & Dragons demo from the Entertainment Technology centre at Carnegie Mellon University moves beyond “proof of concept” we’ll start considering a purchase.
