Hollywood Nexus

After making Bollywood Nexus, I thought it would be a fairly simple matter to make a Hollywood version. Creating a 'good' database for the Hollywood version was more painful than I anticipated. The main reason is that, if you were to pick any two famous names from Bollywood, chances are that they would have worked in a movie together (Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are the exception that proves the rule). Thats not the case for the Hollywood. So the database needed to have

a) Famous actors/actresses who are likely to have worked with each other
b) The movies they've worked in together shouldn't be too obscure.

In any event the database has been made, as well as the other minor modifications necessary. The game is up on the website.

The one flash game I keep returning to every other day is this cricket game up at foddy.net . Really good use of the Box2D physics engine. Nothing can beat the real feeling of creaming a gently swinging half volley through the covers, but the controls do feel quite good. The awkward style of the batsman suggests that he was modeled after either one of

1) Anil Kumble

2) Curtly Ambrose

3) Courtney Walsh could be a candidate but you'd need some special combo for his 'between-the-legs' leave.
