Games web 2.0. Apparently.


I had big expectations of how the conference would examine games in a web 2.0 context but, instead, what we had was a couple of chaps from EA (Trip Hawkins) and Robert Kotick (Activision) being interviewed by the impossibly young – and rather breathless - Morgan Webb (has anyone ever seen her and Kiera Knightly in the same room?). And very much talking games 1.0. Okay, maybe games 1.5 – they get half a point for referencing mobiles – but I learned more from Yves Guillemot (boss of Ubisoft) at the Edinburgh Games Festival in August about how web 2.0 impacts on games than I did from these guys. Or gal.
