Zombies being a Game Design Gem. I've been witness to a lot of friends being so hooked up in this game (including me). It's just so addicting, right? I totally agree with you about Plants Vs.

Its pretty dam cool... It combines Google, Bing and Yahoo into one plus lets you search for videos on YouTube and News throughout the net. Maybe this may end up being the new Google ?

]]> Comment on Book review: Emergence in Games (Penny Sweetser) by Babak http://www.grandtheftbicycle.net/?p=189&cpage=1#comment-323 Babak Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:12:16 +0000 http://www.grandtheftbicycle.net/?p=189#comment-323 Just like you I had high hopes for the book, and what I expected from it was a lot of new ideas on how to design for maximal emergence. What I got was a guide on how to increase immersion, and interactivity in games. Though interactivity is certainly one component of emergence (there) it is certainly only part of the deal. Overall the book read more like a final year undergraduate project report. You can find my review here: http://www.gamedesignideas.com/video-games/book-review-emergence-in-games.html Btw, I have been researching emergence for some time now, and I have shared my thoughts on my website. You might find some of it interesting. Just like you I had high hopes for the book, and what I expected from it was a lot of new ideas on how to design for maximal emergence.
