5 memes that turned into surprisingly good games
Love typing hilarious phrases on pictures of cats? Spamming your friends with high score notifications? Wishing there was a way to combine the two? You're in luck! There are actually thousands of ways, but not all of them deserve to steal time away from the newest Rage Comics generator.How Games Can Solve Biden’s Quest to Reduce Gun Violence
Over the holidays I received a curious email from the Office of the Vice President requesting concrete proposals to reduce gun violence. In the middle of my heated response I stopped typing. Most of what I was saying had been said before. "There has to be a better way," I thought as I set down my iPhone to go for a second helping of my sister's amazing pear tart. Knowing Biden would receive hundreds of emails similar to my own, I thought perhaps asking my network to come up with creative ways games can help. I believe that games can deliver public services. Instead of being seen as part of the problem, why not ask game makers how games can be part of the solution?5 Genres that have Reached Their Limit
Despite the seemingly never-ending supply of themes that appear in gaming these days, many genres have become quite comfortable in their tropes, following the lead of successful entries to a tired fault. Although there are exceptions—and surprisingly novel games—in every category, these genres in particular have become stagnate, with original games becoming rarer and hope for change becoming greater every day.Games 2012: Looking Back
By Dan Fiden
As 2012 comes to an end, we'll all pause to spend some quality time with family and Assassin's Creed 3, though not necessarily in that order. It's also a good time to take a look back at where the games business has been this year and to think about what that means for where we're all headed.Is Sony’s approach to PlayStation Mobile misguided? (Casual Connect Kiev)
By Jim Squires
While it only launched earlier this month, PlayStation Mobile is an idea that's been in the works for quite some time. A dedicated Android storefront for "PlayStation-certified" devices, mobile gamers around the world had dreams of playing classic Sony franchises and PlayStation ports on their smartphones and tablets. But then it launched, and we all saw what PlayStation Mobile really was - just another in a seemingly endless series of Android storefronts that does little to differentiate itself.Don’t try to be a big fish in a big pond: Why developers shouldn’t be targeting the US market (Casual Connect Kiev)
By Jim Squires
A full day of lectures and discussions at a developer-focused event like Casual Connect can touch on a lot of things. Marketing strategies, design fundamentals, emerging trends - the topics run the gamut. With day one of Casual Connect Kiev squarely in our rear view mirror, one topic seemed to make its way into almost every presentation I attended: developers should stop targeting the US market and start exploring other options.Pig Out: 5 games that escape the bacon shortage
By Eli Cymet
Last week, fear spread around the web - and the world - about something many of us hold dear to our hearts. The environment? The election? Who are you kidding!? I'm talking about bacon. Specifically, the impending 2013 shortage of it due to destroyed corn and soybean crops. I know. Even bringing it up again is a travesty.Games I Can’t Believe Don’t Exist Yet
I know that many developers these days are focused on "creativity," "ingenuity," and other -ity words that don't necessarily involve making boatloads of cash. But that doesn't mean there aren't other game creators out there, waiting for the next big thing that will allow them to retire to their floating fortress made of dodo eggs. So, potential gold-smoothie-drinking-quadrillionaire, why don't these games exist yet? A few might actually even be…fun.
