Eli has loved mobile games since his dad showed him the magic of Game & Watch. He can't quite remember when he started loving puns.

    Bad Hotel Review

    By

    As far as titles go, Bad Hotel definitely doesn't lie. The team at Lucky Frame have provided one rotten set of accommodations. The architecture doesn't make sense, there's music playing all the time, and the building is constantly being attacked! I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on them, though: as a game, Bad Hotel is pretty wonderful.

    More details emerge on PlayStation Mobile as Sony adapts for a changing market

    By

    At this year's E3, Sony took their first baby steps into the much prognosticated 'post-console' future with the scrapping of their lackluster PlayStation Suite, and the introduction of PlayStation Mobile. Built on the strength of a partnership with HTC, the renamed program hinted at the release of Sony-approved content for Android smartphones and tablets. Details, however, were scant. Until today.

    Gasketball Review

    By

    I'll admit it: I have a bias against sports games. In a genre where "revolutionary" entries are most often named simply by putting a new year in the title, and defined by the addition of 'more realistic crowd reactions,' it can become difficult to give supposedly innovative alternatives their due. So know that when I say I'm enamored with Gasketball, there's something quite special going on.

    Flip’s Escape Preview

    By

    When I was young, my dad bought me a wonderful book of illustrations that looked like one face when drawn right-side up, and another if drawn upside down. This, I feel, is the quality captured by Shaun Inman's excellent The Last Rocket, which played one way as you collected all the coins, and another as you attempted to avoid them. If you, like me, couldn't get enough of this indie gem, never fear: Flip is blasting off again. But you're still missing out on that great book.

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained: Signia Venture Partners Jamil Moledina on innovation and emotion in social and mobile

    By

    You find the most amazing things in the most unexpected places. Like, say, a champion of independent creativity, genuine play, and real innovation... all in the social games space. Until recently, Jamil Moledina was responsible for managing platform and partner strategy at Funzio. $210M later, the company was acquired, and Moledina was invited to transition into a new and exciting role as Entrepreneur in Residence at Signia Venture Partners.

    Waiting for an emotion: Double Down Interactive President Glenn Walcott on what drives people to virtually gamble

    By

    When Double Down Interactive President Glenn Walcott gave a speech about building a successful business at this year's Casual Connect, he started it off by shooting 1,000 one-dollar bills into the audience. Judging him only on that impression, one might draw the conclusion that virtual gambling is all people make it out to be: a money-hungry space obsessed with the bottom line.

    Temple Run crests past 100M downloads and gets a new update

    By

    If there is any stronger argument for the value of trying free-to-play than Temple Run, I can't think of it. Imangi's treasure-filled endless runner launched on August 03rd, 2011 as a $0.99 download, and while popular, failed to explode in the way its developers knew it could. On September 18th of that year, they took the game free. Three days later? It was on 1 million devices.

    From humble beginnings: The mythos of 5th Planet Games, and their quest to reinvent CCGs for the digital age

    By

    5th Planet Games create collectible card games full of high-fantasy, super powers, and deep narratives. Illustrated by famous comic book artists, packed with tons of story, and meant for players of classics. The only catch? For many of them, you'll never be able to touch the cards. They craft digital "CCGRPGs:" games that are looking to recapture the magic of things like, well, Magic, while adding flourishes for the modern era.
