Who Killed Video Games?

This is a typically long (and engaging) article from Tim Rogers about social gaming, and worth the time to read. I have been "playing" Adventure World recently, and his sharp critiques are right on the money. No pun intended. Read it at Insert Credit.

EDIT: And if you can manage to get through it (challenging), Rogers also posted his review of The Sims Social on ActionButton.net.

Devs Speak Up

A fantastic collection of quotes from game industry notables appears on The Escapist today. I especially liked to see what these folks had to say about the industry's mistakes and missteps, but everything included in this feature is a good read.

Finish Him!!

I played Mortal Kombat for a little bit last night. Fun! But the tutorial? I couldn't finish it...I felt like such a noob! Then I looked on the web this morning and learned that I'm not the only one having this problem. Power Kombo fail? I need to get the timing right, I guess.

One Post Per Month

I shared this on Facebook, but it's so nice, I need to post it twice.
