Who says cult games don't get sequels
 This is one little piggy who ain't gonna go whee all the way home...
Publisher Ubisoft has revealed a teaser trailer for the sequel to critically acclaimed title Beyond Good & Evil.
The trailer, shown at the Ubidays press event, confirmed earlier reports that Beyond Good & Evil creator, Michel Ancel, had been looking to begin work on a sequel.
In the teaser, a camera swoops down across a desert wasteland until it focuses in on a broken-down hovercar. A woman sits atop the car (presumably Jade, the first game's protagonist), her face obscured by an umbrella. On the other side of the machine, Pey'j rests until he is disturbed by a fly.
- GameSpot
Howeever, as is almost always the case with trailers, no details were given regarding release date or release platforms.
The original, launched in 2003, was well received critically, but remains something of a cult classic, making only modest sales.

Fantasy point-and-click ate my brain!
 Lucky I didn't say anything about the dirty knife...
Start up developer Boxed Dreams has announced a new point-and-click adventure game titled Ceville.
The game is set in a fantasy land know as Faeryanis. The title character, Ceville, was once the tyrannical ruler of the land, who was overthrown by the kind-hearted Queen Gwendolyn. When a royal counsellor in turn intends to back stab the Queen, it's up to Ceville (for some reason) to save the day.
Choose to play Ceville himself or alternatively select, Ambrosius, the pompous and self-important knight or Lilly, a quirky, but kind and gentle girl.
- GamesIndustry.biz
The game, published by Kalypso Media (of Imperium Romanum 'fame'), is expected to release in the UK during 2008, but it has not been made clear when the title will hit foreign shores, if at all.
