• Why Apple TV is a different strategy to Xbox One
  Yesterday, I wrote a post on Microsoft’s flawed strategy to control the living room, and cross-posted it to Gamasutra. One commenter asked, quite reasonably, why if the living room is on its way out, are so many people anticipating Apple TV . Another commenter gave a concise, elegant answer that I can’t better, so I’m just reproducing it here: “Apple TV ackn […]
• The Swapper Releases Next Week!
  It's that weird time again when all those months of work transmorph into an actual playable video game - and some of you would be surprised how often that is not the case. After years on 'currently on hold' AAAs at the likes of Hydravision and Sega Hardlight I can't express how good it is to have my name on not one but two fantastic indie […]

• How bad is the discovery problem?
  This is part of a series of guest posts by David Garth, President of brand licensing consultancy The Parallax Corporation. You can read the full white paper at the Parallax Corporation website. Part 1 outlines the growing problems surrounding paid user acquisition. Part 2 argues that content licensing, if done carefully, could be a solution. Part 3 provides […]
• Star Trek: The Video Game (A Cooperative Review)
  After the amount of yammering on I’ve done about Star Trek games, I would be remiss to not review Star Trek: The Video Game, based on JJ Abrams’s version of the franchise and bridging (some of) the gap between the 2009 movie and this year’s Star Trek Into Darkness. The game was described at E3 as a “bro-op,” alluding to the highly cooperative nature of the K […]
• Trekabout Episode 38: Kissy Stuff
  It seems that Spock is getting restless. In “Requiem for Methuselah”, he surprises everyone by expressing a desire to get drunk while listening to some sick Brahms’ sonatas. Later, in “The Way to Eden”, he drops out, turns on, and tunes in with the cast of a 23rd Century traveling production of Hair. Plus! Richard […]
• Xbox One: A flawed plan, well executed
  There is a famous (unfortunately apocryphal) psychological experiment involving ten monkeys, a banana and ice cold water. Five of the monkeys were placed in a cage with a banana at the top of some steps in a corner. One monkey heads for the banana and gets soused with ice cold water. So do the other monkeys. The next time a monkey goes for the banana, the ot […]
• Nick Trujillo Presents: Skyward Collapse Comic (Complete Collection)

• This is the neeeeeeeeeeews
  Hello! I’ve always wanted to type that so… HELLO! Yes, we had a very nice chat with Sony yesterday. And by “we” I mean the absolutely lovely Andy White who rolled up in person to Sony HQ to talk to the equally lovely Shahid about bringing videogames and lasers to Sony. Because everyone needs more […]
