    PopCap unveils edgy indie label 4th & Battery

    By

    When people think of PopCap Games, they tend to think of giant, polished, million-selling casual franchises like Bejeweled and Peggle. They don't tend to think of small, experimental, indie games aimed at a mature audience - but that's exactly the type of games they'll be publishing through their new small games label, 4th & Battery.

    Why developers love the iPad 2

    By

    Last week's announcement of the iPad 2 may have left some of us less than impressed, but as the days wore on, such criticisms fell quickly into the minority. Why? Maybe it has to do something with the development community. From a consumer standpoint the iPad 2 may not seem to be a big leap forward - but for developers? It's a dream come true.

    Did PopCap’s John Vechey just say that downloads are irrelevant?

    By

    Yes he did. As reported by Libe Goad of Games.com, PopCap co-founder said at the IGDC Leadership Forum that "downloadable [PC] games are irrelevant. We only work on them because they work well to go to other platforms." A strange and crazy comment, considering PopCap is credited as being the first casual games company to hit it big with Bejeweled and is still considered a leading developer for casual download games. Yet, when you put his quote in context of entire keynote address, what John is saying is not so strange and crazy after all.
