The game definitely is not going to give you an experience similar to the latest iteration of Call of Duty, but still, Angelina’s Space Station Invaders is a pretty impressive work. Created by Michael Cook, a computer scientist at Imperial College London, the AI builds games using a technique called cooperative co-evolution.

In Space Station Invaders (check out the game here), you have to control a scientist for fighting off rogue robots and invading aliens to escape a space station. For the game, Angelina designed different aspects such as level layout, enemy behaviour and power-ups, and assembled them randomly. Then the AI simulated a human playing the game for determining the most effective designs. The process is repeated around 400 times for creating the best designs.

But the AI is not yet capable of creating a game all by itself, the graphics and sound effects are added by Cook. But it’s a good start and the software can be developed into something big.

And Cook has the answer for game developers who think that the AI might bring days of unemployment for them. Cook says that he likes “to think that Angelina won’t steal anyone’s job, I think it will actually be a really positive force for designers”. He believes that Angelina can be used as a tool for making improvements to games build by developers. But isn’t that what they all say? “Oh no, the robot won’t take your job at the automobile assembly line.”

For those of you that love to play console and PC games, it is likely that many of you are already half way through Modern Warfare 3 (or maybe even finished it).

For those that haven’t finished it yet, it won’t hurt you to pause the game for a few minutes to take a peek at its trailer one more time. I know what you are probably thinking, “Why would I want to watch the trailer when I can just play the game?” This is a fair question and the answer is that this is a re-imagining of one of the original trailers, made painstakingly with nothing but Lego pieces.

As you might know, the eighth Call of Duty installment smashed all game records both on launch day and within the first week after its release. The game recorded sales numbers of 9.3 million on launch day alone. The previous record was 7m copies when Black Ops launched a year ago.

The new MW3 trailer was created by the folks over at Kooberz Studios, to pay tribute to the popular game.

The trailer is based completely of one of the previously released official MW3 trailers. The action in the video game has been recreated in Lego and we can’t go without saying that it is a jaw-dropping experience to watch.

In the video, you will see Lego submarines crossing the Lego sea, Lego first person shooter action, helicopters flying around, Lego men running for their lives and even Lego explosions.

For fans of the game, the hours spent creating this stop motion video is certainly worthy of applause. Now if only Lego would pick up on this and bring us an official Lego Call of Duty game, that would certainly be something to see.
