Who is missing from Infinity Ward

Monday, April 19th, 2010

My RSS feed has been clogged up with blog posts about who has left Modern Warfare 2’s developer, Infinity Ward, since the two guys that head the place were dispatched by Activision. It’s been difficult to make heads or tails of who has gone and how important they were. Luckily for the Internet, PC Gamer Magazine [...]

Frogger Wants YOU!

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Steve Thomas has put together some propaganda posters for classic 80s arcade games. They would’ve made great POS ads for the games as well. MW3 should steal this idea if anyone is left at Infinity Ward to finish the game. I’m sure we’ll just get the usual movie-trailer style ads though.

But now here it is, and there are reminders everywhere about [...]

FEIST trailer 3 from Adrian Stutz on Vimeo.
I love the look and feel they’ve created for this game. It feels like a work of art in a way that a lot of games haven’t before…though the idea of having enemies in this game world seems almost wrong. Maybe it’s just the music in the video [...]

Game Based Marketing

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The ever-vigilant Ilya has turned my attention to a recent book that is all about designing marketing games. I’m into it. Especially because I think most good marketing works because of the same pattern learning principles that make gaming so. much. fun. I’m looking forward to buying it. Though my recent car purchase means that [...]

Saul Bass: Why Man Creates

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

At this morning’s agency meeting, John Norman showed this clip from Saul Bass’ Oscar winning short film “Why Man Creates.” I thought it was interesting, especially when imagining what the addendum of the information age would look like at the end.
