“I was kind of interested in BioShock, especially because you explore the illusion of choice within games as the metastory. It’s over and above that. One of the things that interests me is that there’s a point where you realize that’s what’s happened, but after that, you’re not actually given any choice! Could you talk […]

“Dofus is the most popular MMORPG that you’ve never heard of: with 7 million registered players, comic books, and spin-off titles in development. Ankama Studios’ Cédric Gérard and Frederic Brunet discuss the IGF-winning company’s current status and upcoming titles, including Dofus-Arena and Wakfu.”
Don’t worry! I’ve never played Dofus either.

“Global teen virtual community Habbo has announced that in-game ad firm Double Fusion is now the exclusive North American sales agency for Habbo.com, and Gamasutra talks to execs from Habbo and Double Fusion to discuss how the two hope to stop simply advertising and “start engaging the community” through its campaigns.”

“Digini has announced Blade3D, a new subscription-based development environment for Xbox 360 and PC, based on Microsoft’s XNA platform - the company’s Jon Grande and Tony Garcia talk exclusively to Gamasutra about how the new model will ’shake up’ game development.”
This Q&A on Gamasutra by yours truly might seem kind of random, as usually my […]

“Link’s Awakening, Super Mario 64, Ocarina Of Time, Majora’s Mask, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy: what’s the first name to pop into your head?

I’ve made it through another festival, admittedly one in which I was felled by the foul but inevitable “festival cold” roughly a week early (I got it on the first Saturday of the festival rather than the last) and this year I chose to put all of my day-to-day work on Torontoist. That’s not to […]

It’s been rather a while since I’ve written something for Plan B Magazine, but I’ve returned to its pages in fine style, with a full page interview with Tetsuya Mizuguchi about his interest in creating virtual pop stars for video games; from Ulala (for Space Channel 5) to the nameless girl featured in the […]
