The beautifully programmed and multi-platform Oni Save Game Editor has been updated to version 1.4, with the following changes over the previous release:

Jeff has written to inform the world of his new Oni site dedicated to scripting. You can find scripts to download, a bit of information on editing, and how to contribute your work. If you find yourself on the creative edge of Oni, you don't want to miss this one.

While we wouldn't call it exhaustive , Macintosh news site Go2Mac has given Bungie's latest game to date, Oni, a hearty thumbs up.

From the review:

Oni by God Games and Bungie Software is a action/adventure tour-de-force. In Japanese, Oni means demon or ghost. You play Konoko, a wild, purple-haired action babe (think Japanese Jessica Alba) who goes around kicking butt and looks great while doing it.

If you can take some killer Oni screenshots, then it's time to let them shine in Oni Shot's contest. Your screenshot(s) are restricted to 500 K each and you may only submit three entries maximum. If you've got what it takes to win it all, then head over to the contest page and submit your entry.

Kalis found a very funny editorial in Sharky Extreme's Hubbub section on Oni. Written by Andrew S. Bub, the goal of the article was to begin and complete Oni in one sitting. Bub begins at 11:00 PM (was this really a good idea?) and posts his silly comments as he progresses through the levels. Here's an entertaining snip for you:

The Shapeshifter went online earlier today. The Shapeshifter is a site dedicated to the use of the shapeshifter cheat (allows you to play as any character in the game). Included are character reviews, how-tos, downloads, and its very own forum. Head over and see what all the hype is all about!

Cunbelin writes in to inform us of an Oni review at Sharky Games. Oni gets a rating of 6.5.

mad.max asked me to pass on that, at least with the Mac version, you can hold the shift key while starting Oni in order to get to a key-configuration editor. I'm taking his word for it, since I'm on a PC, but I'd like to hear how well this works for you guys.
