Five Interesting Observations by Alice Taylor

Alice Taylor, who we've blogged about before has been busy launching and commissioning new games per her remit at Channel 4. In the midst of that, she casually drops the below five games, culture and technology avisements:
1. Android is going to be glorious. Apple has fucked up, this year, bigtime.

2. Facebook games that are designed to push your "addiction" buttons (c.f. Farmville) rather than your general-enjoyment buttons may make money in the short term - and are training wheels for the gaming masses - but will backfire on their creators over the long term. Like pop-up ads. "Ugh".

3. There is yet another giant gaming supernova in our near future, somewhere. The speed of success these days is extraordinary (and the speed of crashes, too: like Bebo). Like giant waves. Lots of paddling too fast at the last minute to attempt to get on.

4. Romance/love, the genre, is spectacularly underexplored.

5. It's finally - finally - time to buy a PS3. Joe Danger! LBP2!


Since my Xbox appears to have met the red ring of death recently, I find her last words of advice very exciting.
