Your life with a pendulum, silver bracelet, a snake and three charms

Now that E3 is over, we’ve been blessed with Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Revolution. All of which seem to be so complicated to develop on that we’re going to see a lot more ‘big’ games that cost millions to develop and suffer in terms of creativity and originality. Which, of course, makes me very happy to be working on ‘little games’, web games that just don’t suffer from that kind of investment. So long as you don’t count the inevitable Multiplayer phase that every Flash developer seems to go through.
These next-gen consoles really have hit the second phase of razor blade salesmanship (from being, sell cheap and make money on the reusable stuff/sell cheap and make money on the games) to, as the Onion put it, Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Blades!
