Newest Game Getting All The Buzz: Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery

Sony's new handheld game: Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery

I remember when video games were the size of refrigerators and you were lucky if a character was made up of more than 20 pixels. The graphics had to be used so frugally and characters so small, video game developers called them sprites. Heck when I was a kid you could recreate video game characters out of skittles and still have enough left over to taste the rainbow.

Now handheld video games have all the power to render 3D polygons with skin, texture, shading and lighting effects. If you can't tell if I'm being nostalgic or impressed by the power of technology then I have struck the right tone. In the video below is the newest game that contains an entire 3D universe, or at least a 3D campground in your pocket.

The video below is adorable, sweet and just makes you feel good. Spend a few minutes and dream that you too can be secret friends with a Bigfoot.

Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery follows young boy Jacob and the happenings during his time at summer camp, where he finds and befriends the Bigfoot of legend. Together the pair embark on a string of adventures, solving puzzles that will test players' logical, math, lateral thinking and observations skills.

Although it was released yesterday for the Sony PS Vita, this This Thursday (May 16 2013) it will be available on your iPhone.
