My Views On The Current Game Industry (Please Be Gentle On Me)
Over the last weekend I have been struck by the worst sinus infection of my life. I NEVER get sick, but somehow this one has stuck with me for at least four days now. At times I felt like Mario mistook my head for a Goomba that wouldn’t die, stomping on it continuously. Needless to say, I had a lot of time to think as I consumed Cold medications and zombified on the couch. I thought a lot ab...

Some interesting observations were made about how Sega was struggling until they abandoned the console market to pursue production of software only. The author, Tristan Louis, goes on to state how Nintendo’s only option for survival might very well be to embrace the prospect of becoming a software onl...

Would Facebook make a good platform for gamers to connect?
Facebook games….well they kind of suck. There has yet to be a game on the social media network that has compelled me for more than maybe a week at a time (although PopStocks surely was very close to doing just that). However, if someone was able to combine the social aspects of a Facebook, with the gaming knowhow of Nintendo, I think that would be the best of both worlds. Having to manage multiple...

The first thing to mention about Zen Pinball 2 is it breaks the mould, at least for console in terms of content distribution. The game is essentially a pinball platform where after a free download you can trial various tables. If you don’t wa...
