I still want you to know about Moon. Moon is important. Even if it sort of looks like a bad flash game now.

Back when we had Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, co-founder and Lead Beard, do his video blog preview Moon’s gameplay, I was its biggest fan. What we saw then evoked moments from System Shock, moments from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It hinted at moon-buggyery, and maybe gameplay in varying levels of gravity.

Wellsir, a new wave of more official preview vids have hit the blue marble. The enemies are doom-like; banal, hovering, more or less innanimate. What does seem at first to be a dynamic enemy eventually shows this horrifying on-rails AI (or lack thereof), like a homeless man pulling his sack out in an elevator after promising not to with his eyes. And the audio, well, I just don’t know any more.

Hey, kids! Explore the moon for yourself, with Google Moon!
