New amBX Wiki with game information

It seems the team over at amBX have decided to try and make life a little easier for the rest of us by providing a dedicated wiki on the amBX homepage. Part of this wiki lists all of the games that are currently compatible with the kits and what sort of effects you can expect and whether they are automatic or if you need to install a patch or other add-on.

You can see which games have just light effects, fans and rumbles and there is also information about how to make the most from your media players as well. This will certainly make life easier when choosing new games to purchase as long as it is updated regularly but another great move from amBX to make life easier for us lazy gamers!

amBX continues support for Dare

Having previously supported the “Dare to be Digital” design and development competition for games development students it seems amBX have pledged their support for the 2009 competition as well. Alongside the likes of Intel, Emergent and Autodesk they will be providing amBX kits, the SDK and full support to the next budding stars of the games industry.

The Dare to be Digital event is a great opportunity to not only showcase some of the emerging talent in the development sector but also give students the opportunity to experience the highs and lows of pressure situations, working to deadlines, teamwork and interacting with some of the industries leading figures.

It is good to see amBX continuing its involvement and this is another way for them to get the amBX SDK more widely used by development teams. Good work!
