March 21, 2011… time of year is exciting for other reasons: SXSW festival in Austin, and the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco.
This year I was sadly unable to attend SXSW because of other commitments (the organizers of SXSW refused to change its date for me on such short notice).

August 4, 2010… concepts that will shape the gaming industry in the future.
It was back at the Los Angeles E3 Conference of 2009 when Molyneux proudly displayed Milo for the first time to showcase what is now known as the Xbox 360 Kinect. Milo was also recently a star at the TedGlobal 2010 conference.
Milo is a boy who lives in your TV. Just like any normal boy, you can talk to him, ask him questions and interact with him. Thanks to the visual scanning features of Kinect, Milo not only interprets …
