    These online gambling stats will have your head spinning faster than a roulette wheel [infographic]

    By

    As we discussed in an article a few weeks back, the online gambling boom is fast approaching. States like New Jersey and Delaware have made significant inroads towards legalizing it in their regions, and all signs point to more states (or possibly even the federal government) following suit. So, with such massive change coming, what better time to peruse a lengthy infographic on the subject?

    Jesse Schell on the future of storytelling [GDC]

    By

    Jesse Schell, former Disney Imagineer and current professor at Carnegie Mellon University, is what you call a forward thinker. Nearly every talk he's given in recent years has been about where he thinks games are headed, and how they'll influence the world around us. His talk at this year's GDC was no different. He discussed, amongst other things, what he considers to be the future of storytelling in games. In typical Schell fashion, it was compelling, it was optimistic, and best of all, it was bold.

    By

    Free-to-play may be a major part of our industry these days, but not everyone's a fan. From outspoken Internet commentors to developers concerned with how it influences game design, there's long been an undercurrent of negative backlash just below the model's wave of success. Brenda Romero falls somewhere in the middle of all this. There are things she can't stand about the model, and other aspects she enjoys. In her GDC talk, titled "Free-to-Play: The Morning After," Romero provided the audience with a summary of her feelings, as well as her personal experience with free-to-play gaming.

    Tripping out with Tenya Wanya Teens [GDC]

    By

    Few developers are capable of tripping players out like Keita Takahashi. Best known as the maestro behind the Katamari series and the equally weird Noby Noby Boy, he has a knack for designing kooky, charming, and occasionally downright crazy games. Tenya Wanya Teens, one of his latest, follows in those footsteps quite nicely, and in fact might be his oddest release yet.

    Hands-on with Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar [GDC]

    By

    It's always a little concerning to see a popular console or PC series make its way to mobile. If the developer tries to shoehorn a game that's better suited to another platform onto a phone or tablet, chances are good it will be a dud. There are ways around this, however, and Mythic appears to be well on their way to finding one with Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar.

    The iPad is an incredible platform for board games. Problem is, a lot of ports turn out to be clunky and disappointing. This dilemma is precisely what spurred League of Geeks to try their hand at crafting a board game for tablets. Rather than port a preexisting one, however, they built one from the ground up with digital in mind.

    Have you ever passed on an app because it had a crummy icon? As ridiculous as it may sound, it isn't all that uncommon. The home screen of your iPhone or iPad is a beautiful place, after all, and the last thing you want is some grainy (or just plain ugly) icon ruining it. As one could imagine, this is something developers would like to avoid. That's where App Icon Quiz (AIQ) comes in. It serves the dual purpose of providing players with an enjoyable trivia game and offering developers a chance to test out their app icons.

    With the Deponia series coming to a close this year, a lot of adventure fans are understandably concerned. It's not every day a great adventure game is released, and the first two Deponia titles were some of the best in recent years. The good news is that developer Daedalic is hard at work on yet another adventure game, and the great news is that it appears to be coming along wonderfully. The bad news is… well, there is no bad news.
