Edge: Twitter has been good for games – or at least good for anybody interested in them. The platform's peculiar blend of anonymous intimacy has so far proved perfect for opening up the often shadowy world of big league development, and in the last few weeks – if you're following the right people – you will have been able to enjoy a fascinating micro-interview with David Braben as he looks back over twenty-five years of Elite, listen in while Ragnar Tornquist provides a speed-run FAQ session for The Secret World, or even revel at the announcement that Lionhead's Fable team has hit a production milestone and gone bowling.
And, slowly, Twitter's become home to a handful of genuine games of its own, too, the most interesting of which is probably Spymaster, the spook-flavoured spin on Zynga's Mafia Wars. A side project by iList, a Twitter-based classifieds site, but available on both Twitter and Facebook, Spymaster's focus on recruiting followers to your cause can make it feel a little bit like a ludic pyramid scheme at times, but it still manages to conjure a glinting midnight world of treason and swift violence from the sparest of elements. It's curiously addictive, actually, but even if it wasn't it would probably still be noteworthy for its claims to bring ìactionî gaming to a platform best suited to telling the world you're thinking about having a bath.
