There’s a decent chance you’ve never heard of Playlogic’s Fairytale Fights . It was shown at Leipzig last year and that’s about it. Given its premise though, you’ll likely be hearing about it again. In a nutshell, Fairlytale Fights has players controlling one of four fairytale characters — we saw Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White — and then set about hacking the fairytale world into messy, bloody bits. It’s got your attention now, right? Gallery: Fairytale Fights The game world in Fairytale Fights — powered by the Unreal Engine — is every bit as colorful and cartoony as the title suggests, which makes the contrast between the environment and the brutal gameplay all the more apparent. The game essentially plays like an old-school beat-em-up, with players plowing their way through hordes of enemies and hazards to reach the end of the level. Each level is littered with different weapons — axes, lollipops, carrots , etc.
Here is the original:

Novell is hoping to better educate users as to the benefits of open source software - specifically, Novell’s open source software - with the launch of an app store. On-line stores for third parties to sell their applications for your platform might be all the rage in the mobile arena at the moment, but Novell reckons that desktop Linux is about due. According to an article over on PC Pro , Novell is looking to make an Apple App Store-style site offering open-source software packages. Due to debut in the next openSUSE build of Moblin – the Intel-sponsored Linux distribution aimed at netbooks – the store will feature everything you’ve come to expect from such a site: one-click downloads, a rich user interface, and a wide range of packages available at launch. Where it differs is in the cost: due to the open source nature of the software on offer, Novell won’t be asking for a single penny in exchange for a download. Vice president of business development Holger Dryoff believes that netbooks have a lot in common with smartphones – a sector already enjoying the benefits of centralised application marketplaces – saying that “ there’s a core experience [with both netbooks and smartphones], but then the ability to customise that experience. ” Speaking about the open source app store itself, Dryoff stated that the end-user will simply see “ an open-source applications store with one-click downloads of new software.
