Ethan Switch of The Wax Conspiracy has reviewed The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants: The First Ten Years 1994–2004. This amazing retrospective is still available to purchase from Ballistic Publishing.

The Oddworld Montage video posted in three parts on IGN recently is now available to download via BitTorrent from Xboxyde. The video is a large .avi file, so the latest codecs are likely required to view it.

Also, it has become obvious that a version of Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath has been leaked, and is illegally available for download from the Internet. OddBlog is asking people to come forward with information on the sources of this leak; please report any information you can to me. Thank you.
