Hey all, sorry it has been awhile since my last blog.  As everyone else I have been busy with the Holiday Season and the start of the new year.  Many things are coming together and 2006 is looking like it is going to be a great year.  In March I will be headed to the Game Developers Conference (GDC) and in May back to E3.  I am looking forward to both of those events.  I'll keep you posted....

The China government is now stepping in and limiting game play for MMOG's.  I certainly understand where they are coming from and I applaude the idea of restricting time young people play BUT it sould come from the parents and not the government.

I am starting to see a trend towards government involvement in gaming and I think it is going too far.


Hey, this is cool.  My monthly energy cost are going down in 2006 thanks to Intel.  Now I just need to figure out what to do with that extra cash!

Personally I think the pricing is ok.  Yeah it is a bit steep for the premium package but overall it is fair.

Parent Controls on the XBox 360.  Being a parent of 3 children I view this as a welcome from Microsoft.

Well, a hit game maybe not but an award winning game.  Rocketbowl was produce with a few developers and a low budget.  Goes to prove the small guy can still write a game.
