Perfect pair Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game is easy to explain: it’s a beat-’em-up style side-scroller that deliberately harks back to retro titles such as Streets of Rage. The source material lends itself particularly well to that genre.

Don’t let Google Glass haunt you: The future of AR glasses is far more stylish
Making them look great Ultimately, though, what Travers thinks will make a product like Vuzix NGSG — and, more broadly, smartglasses in general — a success is making them something that people will be happy to be seen wearing in public. After all, smartglasses might appear invisible to the wearer, but to everyone else they’re going to be far more in your face (or, at least, on your face) than any other current gadget we walk around with. They need to look good. … [Read more...] about Don’t let Google Glass haunt you: The future of AR glasses is far more stylish
