At first glance BrowserQuest looks like your standard NES-era RPG, but this HTML5 game demo created by Mozilla and Little Workshop is actually an MMO supporting thousands of simultaneous players.
Despite being more a tech demo than a full-fledged game at this point, the ability to play it through any browser, including iOS and Android devices, definitely makes it worth checking out.
Mozilla is using the game to demonstrate its WebSockets technology, allowing Continue reading “BrowserQuest: An NES-Style RPG Meets MMO In ANY Browser” »

Facebook’s presence in the gaming industry is, at the very least, highlighted by Farmville and a handful of other semi-successful titles. But if you ask Facebook’s European head of Gaming Partnerships, Julien Cordorniou, the platform will also be “the future for the gaming industry” in its entirety.
According to PocketGamer.biz, Cordorniou recently took the stage at the Social Gaming Summit in London to talk about Facebook’s future in mobile gaming. Perhaps his most intriguing comment was the fact he thought every “game that exists on PC, consoles, should come on the Facebook platform at some point”.

Steve Jobs made Apple’s stance on not including Flash in iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone clear in an open letter entitled “Thoughts on Flash”. He also stated in the past that Adobe Continue reading “Flash is Dead, and It’s Apple’s Fault” »

Don’t be fooled, however, this doesn’t mean iPhone and iPad are getting native Flash support.
