Recently, Facebook has been making a concerted push to bring more Android developers into the fold, in addition to making its mobile game stronger overall. To that end, it’s announced several updates to bring the Android SDK in-line with iOS, and added 3D capabilities to both.
According to Microsoft, Kinect on the Xbox 360 never really reached its full potential (that seems rather obvious, in hindsight). The experiences simply weren’t as rich as the studio was hoping for. That’ll chance with the Xbox One – at least, that’s what they want to happen.
So I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news. The good news is that WCG Iran plans to host a League of Legends tournament this September, meaning the long ban the country’s had on the game is finally being lifted. The bad news? They’re banning pretty much every female champion in the game.
I’ve got some bad news for everyone. Uwe Boll is making another movie. The German filmmaker – known for his almost universally terrible film adaptations of video games – has just launched a Kickstarter for Postal 2; a sequel to one of the most controversial movies he’s ever made.
Ever since its less-than-stellar showing at E3, Microsoft’s Xbox One has been a rather popular whipping boy for the games industry. The backlash suffered by Microsoft was downright legendary, and it’s something they’re not going to live down for a very, very long time.

There’s a glaring problem with most of the geeky clothing on the market . It’s something I’ve only recently noticed, as I’m a male and tend to be dense regarding matters such as this.

Today, I’m going to explore something a lot of pirates don’t seem aware of – the marked impact piracy can actually have on developers, particularly if they’re independent. Sit back, ladies and gents, and let me tell you the long, sad tale of Gentlemen!
There’ll also be some stuff in there for all you developers, as well. Sit tight.
Since 2012, ROBLOX – the world’s largest creative online community – has experienced positively explosive growth. In the past six months alone, it’s generated over 13.4 billion page-views and engaged users for 339 million hours. It shows no signs of stopping.
On Friday, I took the chance to have a brief sitdown with the organization’s CEO, David Baszucki. Here’s what he had to say.
I make no secret of the fact that I’m a huge fan of Razer and all its products. They make some of the best gaming peripherals currently on the market, and I absolutely love my mouse and keyboard. Even so, there’s one nagging little elephant in the room I don’t much care for: it’s called Razer Synapse.
Earlier this month, KIXEYE launched Vega Conflict, a new, open-world (or rather, open-galaxy) browser-based sci-fi RTS. I had the opportunity to sit down with some of the fine folks from KIXEYE’s Australia studio for an interview about the studio, the game, and the future.
