Well, my last post caused something of a stir on my twitter feed over the perceived “complexity” of some social games and whether or not the “average Joe” wants a complex game. That was fun, but consigned to Twitter.
However there was another debate on Twitter that stemmed from my, slightly strong worded, response to Rockstar’s announcement of “No current plans to bring Red Dead Redemption to the PC platform.” There was a glimmer of hope with “If that should change, we will let you know.” but for me that wasn’t good enough. I followed that tweet with a comment that perhaps one day developers will regret not supporting my beloved PC as a gaming platform as well as they could. This comment crossed one of my followers feed and they responded by saying that PC games were dying.

I think it’s about time I got my blogging shoes back on now I’m at home for the summer. No more exams or coursework that needs to be done, just plain sailing for a while. Something that many people are talking about now are those little games on Facebook called “social games”. Some love them, many people do in fact, others loathe them, the thing is, I don’t know where I should stand.

The great thing about doing a university course on developing games is that you get to play games and call it research. The even better part of this is that as a member of the game development society (a founding member, no less) I have access to quite a few Steam games via the university steam accounts. One such game is Drug Wars.
