At no|inc we love creating online games ( check out Water Street Fighter, Cake Boss)! Recently we had the opportunity to license a copy of our Accordion Hero game to MVNP, a marketing firm out of Honolulu for their own spin “Ukulele Hero“.

Xbox Live 1 VS 100: A Great Next Step in Social Gaming
I found out about 1 vs 100 from a few friends who play X-Box live. 1 vs 100 is what is great about social games right now. The premise for the game is simple. Either the one wins or the mob wins. You get a few help cards you can play but they are limited. Think Who [...]

Facebook Connect and The Washington Post
I think this is a good and obvious play. http://mashable.com/2009/06/15/facebook-connect-washington-post/. Merge this with an app that allows you to construct a virtual newspaper created from the authors and articles your friends are reading and you have yourself a interesting business.

Xbox 360 And Facebook
Xbox 360 And Facebook. This is going to be a pretty amazing combination. Considering the way facebook games spread virally through your network from wall posts and shared scoreboards this opens up the social aspect of consol games beyond the systems proprietary network. A troubling thing for me about social networks is the sheer amount of them popping [...]

UI and Icon Design Past and Present
I found two great articles showing user interface design and icon design in a type of historical context. I find it kinda of amazing that user interface design has come so far in such a short amount of time. And that our understanding of symbols and certain navigation structures has evolved into its own unique [...]
