Supersaturation - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100315/4675/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_Supersaturation.php Production The final entry into my on-going series, "Where Do You See Gaming Going?" ends with more questions than answers. Is the gaming industry growing too fast? A thousand games are released a year, but fewer and fewer games are reaching the average consumers. http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100315/4675/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_Supersaturation.php Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:52:00 EDT A Letter To Nintendo: "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100302/4558/A_Letter_To_Nintendo_quotQuit_Playing_Games_With_My_Heartquot.php Apologies for the boy band reference. My final letter to the big three current gaming console companies, I look at the good that Nintendo has done. The direction for Nintendo seems bright. But the cost of expansion looks to be spreading the company thin. http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100302/4558/A_Letter_To_Nintendo_quotQuit_Playing_Games_With_My_Heartquot.php Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:06:00 EST Where Do You See Gaming Going? The Indie Scene - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100219/4452/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_The_Indie_Scene.php In my fourth installment of the 'WDYSGG?' series, I talk about the direction of print, podcasts, gaming sites and blogs. I also have concerns about the current status of what makes an independent game. Are indie games only for the hardcore audience? http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100219/4452/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_The_Indie_Scene.php Fri, 19 Feb 2010 06:26:00 EST Letter To Microsoft, "If It Ain't Broke, Just Wait" - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100210/4379/Letter_To_Microsoft_quotIf_It_Aint_Broke_Just_Waitquot.php This week, my rant energy is focused on Microsoft. From Project Natal to how RPGs are pushed on the console, let's take look at the current leader of the HD gaming generation with a critical eye. http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100210/4379/Letter_To_Microsoft_quotIf_It_Aint_Broke_Just_Waitquot.php Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:17:00 EST Where Do You See Gaming Going? Part 3: Game Writing - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100205/4332/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_Part_3_Game_Writing.php Part 3 of the 'WDYSGG' series explores the uncanny valley games, from all genres, have entered in to. Has the simple narrative design of games of the 80s been lost? Is there just as much need for those stories of that of an Uncharted or BioShock? http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100205/4332/Where_Do_You_See_Gaming_Going_Part_3_Game_Writing.php Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:39:00 EST For Those Who Care: No New Colony Wars - by Isaiah Taylor http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/IsaiahTaylor/20100202/4297/For_Those_Who_Care_No_New_Colony_Wars.php Game Design With news of Sony Computer Entertainment firing approximately half of the staff of Studio Liverpool. I can't help but think if the opportunity for a new Colony Wars is off-the-table.
