GameDailyBiz has just published my article on Interaction Density in their My Turn section. I hope that you’ll take the time to read it and to post some feedback as I’m interested in learning what others think about this subject.
There’s a preview for Another Code over at Adventure Gamers. I must admit that I share a lot of Marek’s excitement over this title and can’t wait for it to come out. However, one area that I think he’s not though through, is the idea of point-and-click using the stylus. Point-and-click on the PC is …
At last, the Nintendo DS has come out in the UK and I have one in my posession. 🙂 The feel of it is superb and the demo for Metroid Prime Hunters is an excellent example of how the touch-sensitive screen can be used to good effect. Using the thumb strap widget to move around …
I have no idea where my mind went on that one. A guy called Pavel Barter wrote the piece and as soon as I saw his name I remembered instantly. Although it’s a subject that could have done with a more in-depth approach, it’s probably not in the style of the mag to do so. …

Saw much of my close family today (parents, sons, grandaughter) and took my mother some flowers and a card for Mother’s Day tomorrow. Bought Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind volume 2.
