]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Boy, a good jump man jr remake would be great.

Anyway - yawn. Sounds like they don't really get it still - sounds like their view is way too controlled, and well, boring (saying 'fun' doesn't make it so).

"Car Racing" doesn't sound terribly casual to me. And bioshock has mini-games? So what?

And their stuff tomorrow doesn't sound like anything special. Probably some platform designed to take more money out of customer pockets, and tie developers more tightly into the Microsoft Sodomy Harem(tm).

Although possible, doubtful it would be a MS hardware device, more likely to be leveraging their mobile or smartphone platform. But then again they've shown a propensity to throw money at hardware - but something that 'big' surely would've been leaked by now.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Gotta love speaker talk, "asynchronous" eh? That should go over well with casual gamers. :P Either way I'll be keeping up with this as the keynote commences.

Cry0Tek

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> @7ucky: Because they have a platform in Live Arcade that is made for delivering casual games?

Queasy

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> @JohnnytheFuture:
It could be because MS is investing money with its own casual game portal.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> I can only hope this is a big hint towards the rumored Microsoft hand-held gaming device. The only reason I'm thinking this are the comments that the platform you design for will effect the game you make, and that games are being played in places they never thought. I know the latter was probably supported by bringing up Facebook applications, but I'm still hoping.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Why is MS talking about changing the face of Casual Games when they aren't even in the top 10 list of casual games companies?

7ucky

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Stating things we know, the obvious and sounding surprised. Thing is, all he talked about is all the things that DON't happen with xbox and microsoft lol

Oh and puzzle Quest was awsome on the psp.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> @iNime: Actually, sorry. I just checked your post history, and you're not even worth a sarcastic remark. I don't know what Bill Gates did to you when you were little, but you'd best get over it.

But I like Rez.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Hmmm casual games... not a fan myself. I'm a bit of a hardcore gaming snob, and I think the Wii is great for your casual, but the real games are on the PS3 and 360. Its a shame hardcore gaming is getting slowly removed for cheap gimmicky crap.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> I had no idea everything on XBLA was developed by Microsoft. Thanks for that.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> @iNime: But I like UNO.

]]> <![CDATA[Liveblogging: The Changing Face of Casual Games]]> Unless microsoft is gonna talk about how they are gonna stop shoveling out derivative rehashed crap, i.e. 20 types of 'stack the blocks', 'put the puzzle together', 'wanna be pacman', and 'ported game X from years past'... i say, booooooorrrrrrrinnnnnnggg.

Gimme something a lil original, then gimme a call, it's 2008 guys.
