Gerren Fisher of TheGameReviews interviews Popcap's Vice President of Social Product, Jon David, at the SXSW 2010 event. David talks about how he got involved with the company, what elements can make a social game successful, and the direction social gaming is heading in.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
I love pop cap. Peggle is the best.
I've yet to play a PopCap game that I didn't like!
Bookworm Adventures is brilliant besides the usual Peggle and PvZ
I'd love to play Plants Vs Zombies if and when it hits XBLA, but Peggle always felt too random and left me cold.
Jon David is one of the pioneering forces driving the social gaming revolution. That said, I imagine it'll only be a matter of time before PopCap expands their IPs to include facebook versions. Not sure how I feel about that one, though.
